Hare is a former U.S. Representative (D) from the 17th Congressional District in Illinois. He served from January 2007 until January 2011. He was born on February 21, 1949, in Galesburg, Illinois and raised in Rock Island, Illinois. He graduated from Alleman High School in 1967 and later went on to receive an Associate’s degree from Black Hawk College in Moline. In 1969 he began working at Rock Island’s Seaford Clothing Factory, where he served as a union leader. He also served six years in the U.S. Army Reserves. In 1982, Hare left his union position at the factory in order to assist his friend Lane Evans’s run for the U.S. House of Representatives on the Democratic ticket. In 1983, after Evans was elected, he began working for the Congressman as district director, a position which he continued in until Evans retired in 2006. Hare was elected to fill Evans’s seat in 2007, where he served on numerous committees, primarily related to labor, education, health, and veteran’s issues. In 2012 he was appointed to the Western Illinois University Board of Trustees, which is the governing body of the university. The Phil Hare Congressional Papers is a collection of documents, photos, video, and audio files relating to former Congressman Hare’s service in the United States House of Representatives. The majority of documents consist of legislative letters, copies of house bills, Hare’s legislative activity guide, and the rules of the House. There are also some items relating to Hare’s speeches, commencement addresses, actions on the House floor, and text of newspaper articles. The digital files include photos, video, and audio that relate to Hare’s service. There are extensive photos from Washington, DC, Capitol Hill, and the 17th District in Illinois. The audio and video items include conference calls, speeches, and news reports relating to important issues. Box 1 of 1 Letter – from Lorraine C.

    1234 Massachusetts Avenue, NW • Suite 103 • Washington, DC 20005 • 202-347-1234 #100-33 Information Alert: October 11, 1988 Medicaid Reform House Hearing TO: DD Council Executive Directors FROM: Susan Ames-Zierman On September 30, 1988, Congressman Henry Waxroan held a hearing on his bill, H.R.5233, and that of Congressman Florio, H.R. 3454, which is the House companion bill to Senator Chafee's S. 1673, the Medicaid Home and Community Quality Services Act. Mr. Waxman's opening statement is enclosed. Attached is testimony given by Congressman Steve Bartlett of Texas, Senator Chafee, and the Congressional Budget Office. Also enclosed is a side-by-side comparison of the two bills and current Medicaid law developed by the Congressional Research Service of the Library of Congress.. Senator Bentsen has agreed to mark up Senator Chafee's bill early in the 101st Congress. Should Senator Bentsen become the Vice-President, Senator Matsunaga of Hawaii would become Senate Finance Committee Chairman and would, in all likelihood, be agreeable to moving forward. Congressman Waxman, while not going as far as to discuss mark-up on either his or Florio's bill, did agree, in both his opening and closing statements, to work with Congressman Florio on a compromise early in the next Congress. A list of current co-sponsors of the Chafee/Florio bills is attached. We need to keep all those returning Senators and Congressman on-board when this process begins anew in January. For those in your Congressional delegations who are not current co-sponsors, plan some visits to programs while they are home campaigning this fall and over the holidays.
