Informal recess -- for an Easter egg hunt

Content Provider	Library of Congress - Photographs
Description	World War II cartoon shows House Majority Leader John W. McCormack, Speaker of the House Sam Rayburn, Senate Minority Leader Charles L. McNary, Senate Majority Leader Alben Barkley, and House Minority Leader Joe Martin as small children searching for Easter eggs labeled "Public Opinion." Congress had scheduled an Easter recess, but members became concerned that they would be criticized by their constituents for shirking their responsibilities during the war crisis. Instead, they arranged for an "informal recess" during which Congress would officially remain in session but no important business would be scheduled, thus allowing members to leave town.
