WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—The banking giant Citigroup announced
> on Friday that it would move its headquarters from New York to the U.S.
> Capitol Building, in Washington, D.C., in early 2015.
>
> Tracy Klugian, a spokesperson for Citi, said that the company had leased
> thirty thousand square feet of prime real estate on the floor of the House
> of Representatives and would be interviewing “world-class architects”
> to redesign the space to suit its needs.
>
> According to sources, Citi successfully outbid other firms, including
> JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs, for the right to move its headquarters
> to the House floor.
>
> The Citi spokesperson acknowledged that the extensive makeover of the
> House is expected to cost “in the millions,” but added, “It’s
> always expensive to open a new branch.”
>
> Explaining the rationale behind the move, Klugian told reporters,
> “Instead of constantly flying out from New York to give members of
> Congress their marching orders, Citigroup executives can be right on the
> floor with them, handing them legislation and telling them how to vote.
> This is going to result in tremendous cost savings going forward.”
>
> Klugian said that Citi’s chairman, Michael E. O’Neill, will not occupy
> a corner office on the House floor, preferring instead an “open plan”
> that will allow him to mingle freely with members of Congress.
>
> “He doesn’t want to come off like he’s their boss,” the
> spokesperson said. “Basically, he wants to send the message, ‘We’re
> all on the same team. Let’s roll up our sleeves and get stuff done.’
