On a saturday, no less. :) I think the suit-and-tie thing goes back to the neo-conservative's "Turn Back The Clock 30 years" aspect of their movement. While today most companies don't care if you're in Khakis and a button down unless you're in front of TV cameras and/or clients, and most CEOs are aware that workers in casual dress are productive (or so i've heard). Bottomline: 30/40 years ago, before women's rights/civil rights/gay rights/gun regulation, you'd wear a suit if you were going to the White house. Period. Thank goodness we have a much more modern CEO of the US gov, now. He's at put sensibility over tradition in some respect.
