He served in congress for 3 terms (6 years) and received a no nonsense reputation. This earned him the position of chairman of the powerful 'House Foreign Relations Committee' and a position on the 'House Armed Forces Committee.'

During his third term he announced he would not be seeking reelection. Many began to speculate the widely popular congressman was preparing for shot at the governors mansion.
