Members don't do any inquiries like that themselves. Some staffer blew off the task as inconsequential and lied to the representative. Hopefully the staffer is at least looking for a new job.

Reminds me of "Six Times A Day," which of course had a happier ending.

Apologies for the egregious chorus, but Dick Curless's singing is great.
