猜猜这是什么单位

Following is a copy of an excerpt of a letter printed in a newspaper a number of years ago.

Can you imagine working for the following company? It has a little over 500 employees, with the following statistics.

- 29 have been accused of spousal abuse.
- 7 have been arrested for fraud.
- 19 have been accused of writing bad cheques.
- 117 have bankrupted at least 2 businesses.
- 3 have been arrested for assault.
- 71 cannot get a credit card due to a bad credit rating.
- 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges.
- 8 have been arrested for shoplifting.
- 21 are current defendants in lawsuits.
- 84 were stopped for drunken driving in 1998 alone.

Can you guess which organization this is? Give up?

It is the United States Congress.
