Series 2: Constituent services, 1983-2000
Scope and Contents
This series contains a near complete record of constituent mail sent to Mack's office during both his House and Senate career. Also included are form letter libraries and edited drafts of responses from Mack's staff. The House mail is arranged based on a numeric system that was assigned to each response sent by Mack's office and is ordered roughly chronological. The Senate mail is organized by the staff member who responded, typically legislative correspondents, who specialized in particular subject areas. Most of the Senate mail is organized chronologically by the date of response, but some correspondence is organized topically by subject. Aggregate statistical information is also included for some years.
The series is divided into two subseries: 2a. House mail (1983-1988) and 2b. Senate mail (1989-2000).
