Grassley said that if the number of tickets requested by Iowans exceeds 200, the tickets will be distributed by lottery. Iowans interested in tickets should contact Grassley’s office at (202) 224-3744.
The pope will speak to Congress inside the Capitol in the House of Representatives’ chamber. He will be the first pope ever to address a joint meeting of Congress.
