Eleven pages in the House of Representatives have been discharged for
smoking marijuana, a spokesman for Representative Richard A. Gephardt of
Missouri, the minority leader, said. None were sponsored by Democratic
lawmakers, the spokesman added. The dismissals were first reported on the

administrative duties, including carrying messages to members and preparing
the House or Senate chambers for sessions.
