| Description | WASHINGTON, April 18, 2005 ----
Today Congressman Henry Hyde, R-IL, issued the following statement with regard to his future plans in Congress:
I have decided not to run for re-election to Congress in 2006. Despite this difficult decision, I still have a job to do through 2006, including a lot of important work to accomplish as Chairman of the House International Relations Committee. The committee’s upcoming schedule includes hearings and legislation about the UN Oil for Food scandal, Arms Export Laws and U.S. public diplomacy efforts abroad, and more. The fiscal 2006 budget process also is in full swing, which means there is a lot of work to do.
At the end of this term, I will have served 32 years in office as representative of the Sixth Congressional District of Illinois. I want to thank the people in my district for their support over the years. I am grateful for the many friends who have supported me since the beginning of my career and the many who have joined with me over the years. Together we have a litany of accomplishments of which we can be proud, including protecting the lives of the defenseless unborn; bettering the lives of the elderly; supporting and assisting the developmentally disabled; strengthening education; improving infrastructure in our district and our state; protecting our homeland; and helping to preserve freedom.
