  Are you implying that if Joe Blow walked in and asked you to set up
a list for him, you would do it?  I suspect that while the Congressman
is being given a privilege that is not for sale, he is still being given
it BECAUSE he is a Congressman; it is still a favor that is being done
him because of his role and not a right that adheres to him as a private
individual.
