Timothy J. Roemer: congressman and ambassador, born here

1956 –

Timothy John Roemer (born 1956): in the Public Servants record Roemer stands in the House succession and nowhere at entry size; the sweep enters him at the size the official biography supports. The Biographical Directory of the United States Congress records the birth in its own form: born in South Bend, St. Joseph County, Indiana, 30 October 1956. The schooling prints its boundary nuance exactly, because the record states it: he graduated from Penn High School, in Mishawaka, in 1975 — born and of this city, schooled across the city line, and entered here on the birth and the career, with the school left in the city it stands in. He took the B.A. at the University of California, San Diego (1979) and the M.A. (1982) and Ph.D. (1986) at the University of Notre Dame, and began in politics on this city's own staff — as an aide to Representative John Brademas, 1978–79. He won the seat himself and served in the U.S. House from 3 January 1991 to 3 January 2003. After Congress he sat as a commissioner on the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States — the 9/11 Commission — and from 2009 to 2011 he was the United States Ambassador to India, sworn in on 23 July 2009. A living person; the entry states the public record.
