Dear Friends,

Welcome to the Fourth Congressional District's Internet site. 

It is my pleasure to provide information about the services available to you through my office as well as my record in Congress.  Links to other relevant and interesting sites are also provided for your convenience.

The 108th Congress has been very busy legislatively. As Chairman of the Veterans' Affairs Committee, I've been working hard to enhance services and benefits available for our nation's veterans.  I've also been active as Vice Chairman of the International Relations Committee, especially with overseeing our nation's ongoing war on terrorism.  And of course, I've continued to work on several other major issues including healthcare, the environment, and education. 

I hope you will return to this site frequently for news updates, information on Congress, or if you need my help in solving a problem with an agency of the federal government. If you are a resident of the district, you can email me through this site. You can also telephone, fax, write, or visit me at one of my three offices -- either the Mercer/Burlington, Ocean/Monmouth, or Washington, D.C. constituent service centers.

It is an honor to serve you in the U.S. Congress and I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely, Christopher H. Smith Member of Congress
