http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/34960762

The general correspondence files are one of many series in the papers of this Wyoming U.S. Senator who served from 1959-1977. Files were created during McGee's senatorial tenure and contain correspondence with the general public, political officials and organizations along with a few speeches and personal letters. McGee correspondents include members of Wyoming's congressional delegation, members of the press, the Democratic National Committee, Young Democratic Clubs of America, and his Wyoming constituents. The letters were written in response to McGee's positions on federal pensions, the Vietnam War, Yellowstone National Park, Unesco, the Watergate scandal and President Nixon's possible impeachment. McGee also received a considerable amount of letters from members of the John Birch Society and other right-wing organizations.
