Series 1: Legislative files, 1982-2000

Series 1 contains staff working files, project files, subject files, committee files, floor statements, legislative activity reports, record vote analysis reports, and VIP correspondence with Congressional colleagues and government officials, including the President of the United States. The vast majority of this series contains records from Mack's time in the Senate. Only a small fragment of his House legislative files were found in this collection. These are represented in the "House files" subseries. Of special interest are the staff working files which deal with specific bills, budget appropriations, and topics related to pending or possible legislation. Documented here are internal discussions between Mack and his staff on the questions of the day as well as correspondence with other legislators and interested parties.
