 Congressman
Doug Bereuter
House International Relations, Financial Services, Transportation
and Infrastructure, and Select Intelligence Committees
Elected to Congress in November of 1978, Doug Bereuter, a fifth
generation Nebraskan, has served in the U.S. House longer than any
citizen of the Cornhusker State. The diverse 24-county 1st District
he represents, one of the nationís premier agricultural districts,
includes the state capital, Lincoln, with more than 40 percent of
the Districtís population, and also the Nebraska suburban counties
of the Omaha and Sioux City, Iowa, metropolitan areas.
Mr. Bereuter brings to his congressional service broad experience
as a state legislator, businessman, army officer, college educator,
urban planner, and state agency administrator. Since coming to Congress,
Doug Bereuter has represented the diverse interests of his constituency
while becoming increasingly involved in establishing national priorities
and international policy. He has taken an especially active role
in promoting American exports, including agricultural and food exports.
Bereuter has authored significant trade, water, development, agriculture,
health, financial institutions, business, housing, Native American,
and international hunger and child welfare legislation that has
been enacted. With his background in urban and regional planning,
Congressman Bereuter has not only focused on the stateís development
needs, he has been the most active Nebraskan over the years in proposing
a wide variety of infrastructure, natural resources, economic development,
and housing projects, and then securing the Federal assistance for
the state and local governments to make them a reality.
