summary: "Lee Hamilton served as a Democratic congressman from Indiana from 1965 to 1999 and co-chaired both the House October Surprise Task Force (1992-1993) and the 9/11 Commission (2002-2004); his decision to decline a three-month extension of the October Surprise investigation, despite new evidence arriving in the final weeks, has been cited as a significant limitation on that inquiry."
