Abstract
This study evaluates the distributive politics theory. We analyze a po oled cross-section time series of data on the distribution of prime mi litary contracts among the states during the period 1965-83. Unlike ea rlier studies, this one finds a significant relationship between repre sentation on House and Senate defense committees and the distribution of military contracts.
