I'm note sure testing our representatives is that great an idea. I can think of a few who would think straighter stoned than they do now.
This article should at least point you in the right direction:

"Environmental scientists" is a little vague. Please, Keef, where'd ya' find this? I'm not doubting you; I just want to see it.
Don't give the administration ideas. They would LOVE to have people think of a democratic-controlled congress as a buncha cokeheads (or whatever the congressional drug of choice is). And I'm sure they think they have the authority to collect the information. For practical purposes, if they can get their hands on the effluent, that's that. And if they didn't find anything, they'd just say they had.
Anyway, as their employers, we have every right to skip the indirect method and simply invoke random drug testing of our representatives, since they have handed that authority to our employers. Yeah, I know, I must be on crack or something. But wouldn't it be pretty if it were true?
I'd love to have the effluent checked in the drains from Capitol Hill.
But I'm sure they would classify the results.
A Jiminy Cricket for the conscience of us all.
