“The Congressional Page program provides young Montanans with a unique opportunity to interact with members of Congress and to experience democracy at work in the very heart of the Capitol,” said Rehberg.  “It’s a wonderful opportunity and I strongly encourage those interested in the process of government to apply.”

            The Congressional Page Program has been in existence for more than two hundred years.  Pages serve in both the House and Senate by delivering correspondence within the congressional complex, answering phones in the Members' Cloakroom, preparing the House and Senate floors for session, and conducting other legislative duties.  Pages live in the Page Residence Hall, two blocks from the Capitol.  Congressional Pages are paid a gross monthly salary of $1,939, with deductions made for federal and state taxes, social security, and the Residence Hall fee.  A Page serving the summer term must have completed the 10^th grade and not yet entered the 12^th grade.
