One thing Correspondent McConaughy can predict, however, is his usual preferential treatment at the beginning of. a Congress, when many of the elevator operators and Capitol policemen are new on their jobs. McConaughy. 38, and a big six-footer with a shock of grey hair, is often mistaken for a Congressman himself.
