Quick and dirty answer. For the short term (I'm assuming you're talking about $alpha):
$temp = $alpha if($temp =~ /C/) {$temp =~ s/C/Congress/} elsif ($temp =~ /H/) {$temp =~ s/H/House/} elsif {$temp =! /S/} {$temp =~ s/S/Senate/}
print OUT "<A NAME=\"$alpha\">\n<FONT COLOR=\"#000066\"><H2>- $temp -</H2> </FONT>\n</A>\n";
You'll probably want to replace this with a pattern or something better if it gets more complicated. (Ie a hash with the mapping).
