Albert Bustamante papers, 1980-1992.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/46647991

The collection documents Bustamante's career from 1980-1992 as a Bexar County Judge and as a U.S. Congressman primarily through correspondence from constituents and colleagues. Correspondence of Bustamante while Bexar County Judge is primarily from colleagues and constituents dating 1980-1983. Letters of concern from constituents range on topics from library funding to management of the Bexar County Jail. Documentation of U.S. Congressman Bustamante (1984-1992) is primarily collegial correspondence. Noticeably, constituent mail for these years is absent from the collection. The correspondence is a mix of brief personal congratulations and thanks, along with letters related to legislative issues and fundraising efforts. The mostly incoming correspondence from members of the House is strong in revealing working relationships between members of the House and the inner working of Congress. Especially interesting is correspondence between Bustamante and Texas Congressman Henry B. Gonzalez. Congressman Bustamante's legislative record is compiled in vote books, a legislative profile and his weekly newspaper column.
