Blackfoot Telephone Cooperative will again sponsor two local high school students to represent Western Montana on the Foundation for Rural Service (FRS) trip to Washington, D.C. The FRS Youth Tour will bring approximately 100 students from across the country to the nation's capital where they will experience first-hand the legislative and governmental processes that impact the telecommunications industry. They will visit Congress, the Federal Communication Commission, and other government agencies. Participants will also tour famous landmarks such as the Washington Monument, Smithsonian Institution, Lincoln Memorial, U.S. Capital, Arlington National Cemetery, Washington Cathedral, and the Supreme Court.
