http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/730951645

J. Roy Rowland Papers, Series II, Subseries A: Legislative Directors' Files documents the work of Rowland's two legislative directors, Rebecca Brady (1983-1988) and Kathy Bryant Hennemuth (1987-1994). Legislative research and bill files may contain any of the following: background materials about legislative issues, staffer notes, drafts and final copies of bills, "Dear Colleague" letters to/from other members of Congress, Rowland's statements made on the House floor, clippings, background memoranda from staff to Rowland, hearing statements by Rowland and others, and correspondence from lobbyists. Legislative mail contains letters to Rowland from constituents about legislation and copies of Rowland's responses. Mail files also include responses to constituents' telephone calls or visits to district offices and inquiries received at Rowland's Washington, D.C., office. Topics in the mail files usually reflect the staffer's assigned legislative topics. Speeches and statements files contain speeches and statements Rowland made on the House floor or in his district. See Series IV. Press and Series I. Administrative for additional speeches and statements. The Legislative Series' main strength is health care legislation and related committee work (e.g., Energy and Commerce Committee, Veterans Affairs Committee, National Commission on AIDS, National Commission to Prevent Infant Mortality, Select Committee on Children, Youth and Families), and to a lesser extent the topics of transportation (Public Works and Transportation Committee) agriculture, education, defense, the environment, and foreign affairs.
