Issues/Legislation Overview

Each Congress (a two-year period), thousands of bills and resolutions are introduced. The Library of Congress provides a search engine, THOMAS, for navigating the legislative process. Among the options available, THOMAS allows you to:

• Search for legislation by Member or Committee
• Search Committee Reports
• Search the Congressional Record
• Search Bills Sponsored by Senator Lugar
• Search Bills Cosponsored by Senator Lugar

Additionally, the Senate website will walk you through the process of a bill becoming a law and you can follow Congress online via C-SPAN, including watching floor procedings and committee hearings.

Below you will find links to Senator Lugar's position on specific issues. If you have additional questions or wish to express an opinion, please email Senator Lugar.
