CUNA hosted a reception last week for its chairman, Dick Ensweiler, in the U.S. Capitol. The reception, which was themed "meet the chairman" and which members of a Texas credit union delegation who were in town could attend, was also open to members of Congress and other VIPs. Among those who stopped by was House Financial Services Chairman Mike Oxley (R-OH) with Ensweiler, who is also president of the Texas Credit Union League. Also stopping by the reception were Spencer Bachus (R-AL), chairman of the House Financial Institutions Subcommittee, and U.S. Reps. Nick Lampson (D-TX), Charlie Stenholm, (D-TX), Silvestre Reyes (D-TX), Ralph Hall (R-TX), Eddie Berneice Johnson (D-TX), and Ciro Rodriguez (D-TX). Prior to the reception, Ensweiler also met with Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson (R-Texas).
