The "Politics" files are organized into five sections: "GOP Committees and Activities"; "Research and Notes on Politics"; "Campaigns"; "John Lindsay Campaigns"; and "Rockefeller for President." The materials contained here consist of correspondence, annotated notes, minutes, memoranda, reports, annotated newspaper and magazine clippings, statements, news releases, campaign material, mailings, Rockefeller speeches and position papers. Researchers also should note the unavoidable overlaps in time and even some content with files in "Early Legal Career," "Civic Activities," "Campaign for U.S. Congress," " Constitutional Convention," and "U.S. Attorney."
