So that is 65 employees per senator. IMHO that is a bit much.

Senators have offices and staffs spread all over the state they represent, at least in our part of the world. IMO, each Senator should have no more than three employees in their DC office, if they are the Majority leader, add one more. Most of their stuff should be handled at the local level, particularly with the ability to communicate electronically.
Of course I also think they should be in DC only January-March and July-September and have their pay cut in half. Way too much time and money wasted and they need to be close to their constituents, not in DC.
