J. French Hill served United States Senator John G. Tower (R- Texas) from 1982-1984 in two capacities. Hill functioned as Tower's legislative aide for a part of the Senator's membership on the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee. Hill also acted as Tower's chief legislative assistant during the Senator's tenure as chairman of the Subcommittee on Housing and Urban Affairs (1983-1984). As a member of the Committee and leader of the Subcommittee, Tower actively pursued legislation to make home ownership a possibility for more Americans, demonstrated by his successful efforts in 1984 to pass the Secondary Mortgage Market Enhancement Act and the companion legislation, Trust for Investment in Mortgages (TIMS) Act.
