Terry Announces 2010 Nebraska Breakfast Dates
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
The Nebraska Breakfast is the oldest ongoing gathering of its kind on Capitol Hill. Most Wednesday mornings that Congress is in session, Nebraskans visiting our nation's capital can meet and visit with their congressional delegation. The Nebraska Breakfast originated in 1943. It was the idea of United States Senator Hugh Butler, who wanted to meet informally each week to discuss legislation with other members of the Nebraska delegation. Members of the delegation began inviting guests to the weekly gathering, and soon a tradition was born.
This year the breakfast will be held in the Senate Buffet, located on the basement level of the Dirksen Senate Office Building. Guests will be able to purchase hot and cold breakfast items in the Dirksen North Cafeteria located just down the hall from the buffet. The cafeteria service begins at 7:30 a.m. Guests are asked to arrive between 7:30 and 7:45 a.m. The entrance to the Dirksen Senate Office Building is at 1st and Constitution Ave. NE, about a block northeast of the Capitol building.
Space is limited, so please make reservations ahead of time.
Call 202-225-4155 to make reservations for the breakfast.

Terry Comments on the State of the Union Address
Wednesday, January 27, 2010
WASHINGTON- Congressman Lee Terry issued the following statement on tonight’s State of the Union address by President Obama:
“As a fiscal conservative President Obama has my full support to hold the line on spending and reduce our ever-increasing national deficit. I also agree with President Obama that we must create jobs and job growth for small businesses—that is key to getting our economy back on track. At the same time I am deeply concerned with the trillions of dollars that will be added to the national debt over the next several years. And the amount of taxes increases, especially in the last year is mind-boggling.”
“I sincerely hope that President Obama’s message is not just political rhetoric and these promises are backed up with actions. When Speaker Nancy Pelosi walks out of a secret, closed-door meeting and says we are a transparent administration, words do not match actions.”
“I am committed to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to find fiscally sound ways to get our economy back on track, bring meaningful reform to health care and stop the wasteful government spending which has become the norm in Washington.”
Business Conference Hosted By Congressman Lee Terry
Congressman Terry would like to extend an invitation to Nebraska companies to attend a business conference he is hosting on Feb 16, 2010 at the Scott Conference Center located at 6450 Pine Street, Omaha, NE 68106 from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm. Interested individuals can register via email at terrytickets@mail.house.gov with their name, company name, and contact information or via phone at 402-397-9944.
The highlights of the day will include an opportunity for Nebraska companies to learn about federal programs that could assist them in growing their business by accessing customers in the international market place. In addition, resources will be available for businesses seeking to compete successfully in federal, state and local government contracting. For smaller companies, there will be opportunities to network with Small Business Liaison Officers (SBLOs) from larger prime contractors looking to recruit small business as subcontractors and/or for their supplier lists.
It is Congressman Terry's hope that this day can provide some valuable tools to help Nebraska businesses gain access to much-needed capital and strong network of partners who can provide assistance to help them adapt in today's current economic environment. The end goal is to help grow Nebraska businesses and create jobs.
