You're probably thinking of Representative Rush D. Holt, Jr., Ph.D.
in physics, formerly professor, Swarthmore College, NJ 12th
Congressional District (Mercer County, NJ). Bumper stickers
hereabouts proclaim: "My Congressman IS a Rocket Scientist."
I wish every president would read Richard Feynman on the Challenger
disaster.
