Mangus Lists Phone Number Os State Legislators There’s a wav to close the geographic gap between state law makers and the people they serve, and it's quicker than the U.S Mail. State Representative Richard W. Mangus (R lakeville) and Robert I Du( omb. Jr. (R South Bend) re minded local citizens that the Indiana House of Representatives operates a toll free telephone service to (he legislature Bv dialing I HIM) 182-9841 individuals can re ach staff assistants in the House who will refer brief messages to representatives. They explained the service, which is available week davs from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. or 30 minutes after adjournment, is in constant use bv Hoosiers throughout the state. So that more people can get through on the line, callers are asked to keep their messages short, and to be prepared with specifics, such as bill numbers and the name of (he legislator to w horn the message should be given. If the subject of the call involves much background, they said a letter might be more appropriate, so that the line is not tied up for long periods letters do not have to be typed, but the handwriting should be dear, if a response is important. A full name and return address is another requirement for an answer legislators get mail that is ad dressed as follow s State Rep Richard W Mangus. Indiana House of Representatives. State House. Indianapolis. IN 4b2(M Expressing “pro" or “con" views about specific issues is the primary reason behind most calls, and stressed that legislators, because of their floor responsibilities, do not answer the line themselves. I here has also been some confusion that United States Congress men and Senators can be reached through the line, and there is no c apabilitv for calls to be transferred to Washington. D ( .
