Suit and tie when they are in session. Some offices have more relaxed dress codes on Mondays and Fridays or when they are in recess, but go with a suit and tie until you figure that out.
As a former intern on the Hill, I would agree the conservative dress style is a must.
For guys: basic black/brown/gray suit and dress shirt, nothing too guady as far as colors.
For ladies: Make sure skirt is appropriate length, no open toed shoes, wear stockings.
When not in session in the office I worked at it was pants and a shirt it could even just be a colored shirt and khaki pants. Some staff members would even wear jeans.

First day go in a suit and ask.
Thanks for the advice. First day happens to be a Friday, so I might look silly but conservative seems the best way to go.
