Though visitors may resent the new restrictions, some members of Congress are demanding still more. Scolding that the measures are "inadequate and inconsistent," Missouri's Robert Young, chairman of the House Subcommittee on Public Buildings and Grounds, suggested that "the security around the Capitol should be as vigorous as that at the White House." He called a hearing this week to explore more stringent steps. The Senate, meanwhile, offered a $100,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the Monday-night bombers.
*The Capitol was under violent attack twice before in this century: in 1915, a university professor set off a bomb in the Senate Reception Room to protest U.S. munitions sales to Britain; in 1954, Puerto Rican nationalists opened fire from the House visitors' gallery, wounding five Representatives.
