Abstract
Lee Hamilton has represented the Ninth District of
Indiana for fifteen terms. He is currently chairman of the
Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives
and has previously been chairman of the Joint
Economic Committee of Congress, the House Intelligence
Committee and several other select committees.
He is widely recognized for his knowledge of
foreign affairs and economic issues. The Ninth District
covers almost the entire southeast quarter of Indiana
and, as Mr. Hamilton notes, it is the most rural of
Indiana's congressional districts. He maintains a
longstanding interest in agricultural and rural conditions
and policies.
