Just a bit more than a week ago, the Capitol was a scene of hustle and bustle as legislators put the finishing touches on the state's new budget and various tax packages. Now, however, the senators and representatives have retired to their home districts for the summer recess, which' will not end until With the legislators gone, the pace of Capitol life changes from hectic to leisurely. "I've played golf three times since last, week," said one obviously please! Senate legislative "I'm having, a hard time adjusting to the pace," said another, who is a whirl-: wind of activity when the" Legislature is in session.

The basement cafeteria is a good barometer of Capitol activity. What happens to business there during the summer recess? "It dies," said food service director Parke Hoover. "When you compare (business) with session days, I do half of that," said Hoover. He expects to soon cut back on the number of hours his employees work because of the slack. The popular man behind the basement newsstand counter, known by everyone as Joe, figures business drops about one-fourth during the summer recess.

One area hit hard sales to legislators of snack food for late night sessions, he said. Indeed, the building's hallways are desolate compared to a few weeks ago.

Herb Packer, a veteran lobbyist who represents about 20 groups, says he uses-the break to "recharge the He van now work a typical eight-hour day, instead of the 12 to 14 hours he Ja on the job dicing the legislative session.

Work put off during the frantic final weeks of the budget battle must now be addressed while preparation for the fall session must begin.

For example, the Secretary of the Senate's Office is busy finishing the journals from the final days of the just-concluded session, Legislative research continues and a smattering of committee hearings are scheduled for the comingNtwo months. And Packer says he still has some work to do. "If you're smart, you do your basic homework" during the break, he said. For some employees, however, the summer offers no respite. For example, the Capitol's two tour guides lead from 12 to 13 groups a day.
