For Congress, an abrupt introduction to the mobile office

Article Abstract:

In the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the House Administration Committee has equipped all members of the House and their senior staff with BlackBerry pagers from Research in Motion, to let them send and receive e-mail while out of their offices. When anthrax attacks shut down Congressional office buildings several weeks after the terrorist attacks, representatives came to rely on the hand-held devices.The Senate has been slower than the House to turn to new technology, but is planning to issue some sort of similar wireless device to all Senators early next year.
