Roskam receives an historic desk

Rep. Peter Roskam (R-IL), the Chief Deputy Majority Whip, just received an historic desk for his Washington office. It was previously used by other Illinois House Republican leadership members, including Denny Hastert, who concluded his term as Speaker of the House in 2007, Robert Michel, who was the House Minority Leader from 1981 to 1995, and Leslie Arends, who alternated as Majority and Minority Whip from 1943 until 1974.

Each autographed a drawer inside that desk.
