How Can I Merge Geocoded Addresses With a Shapefile and Export One Table?

Question

I currently have two layers in my QGIS (v1.7.3 for Mac) project -- one being a Pennsylvania State House shapefile and the other being 166 geocoded addresses (for which I used 'Add Text Delimited Layer' with XY latitude and longitude columns as coordinates). The mapping of these two worked great:

But is there a way for me to get the data out of QGIS and back into an Excel file, with regards to which state house district each geocoded address falls into?

Ideally, the data would come out similar to:

    Latitude Longitude District
    40.14524 -75.21491 131

Thanks!
