Staffers reported for work in Washington, but the offices of the senator, whose term ended Saturday, were ordered closed at mid-day.

WASHINGTON -- With the recount battle still underway, the doors to Norm Coleman's Senate offices were locked this morning at the direction of Senate rules committee officials who declared his term expired.

"They can't carry on Senate business," said Howard Gantman, staff director for the Senate Rules and Administration Committee.

Coleman, in a statement issued at mid-day, said "without question this is a unique situation in the history of the Senate, and specifics are still being determined as to the future of the Senate office."

Although the Minnesota Republican's term ended at noon Eastern time on Saturday, a Washington staff of about 20 reported to work this morning, performing what one staffer termed "constituent service."
