scoop jackson, henry jackson of washington, for instance, by moving in here, even though he loved his office in the russell building, didn't want to leave, but he knew by moving in here he would give cover to the junior senators to be able to move in here. then the sergeant at arms came up with a much better plan. the sergeant at arms sent eviction notices to senators due to move in so they were ordered to leave their offices and to move into this building. but, the fact of the matter is once they got here they realized this building works much better for modern senate staff and office space. the floors, for instance, can be taken up very quickly and there are channels run through here that computer wires can be put there. there are no computers to deal with when they were building the russell or dirksen building but by 1983 the computer age dawned. they could take the walls in the building and knock them down and reconfigure them literally overnight so that if a senator left office and another senator was moving in they could do a quick turnaround in terms of getting the office up to
