...roster of campus absentees, ranging from U.S. Steel to Philip Morris, reads like a Who's Who of corporate America. Among the most conspicuous no-shows are major oil companies, whose profits have tumbled along with oil prices.

And when a third Senate office building became necessary in 1972 (supplementing the Dirksen and Richard Russell buildings), he spurned the short roster of traditional architects who had worked on Capitol Hill for generations and selected John Carl Warnecke and Associates...
