- Scope and content:
-
This series consists of legislative materials from Blitch's service in the United States Congress as a representative from the Eighth District (Appling, Atkinson, Bacon, Berrien, Brantley, Camden, Charlton, Clinch, Coffee, Cook, Echols, Glynn, Irwin, Jeff Davis, Lanier, Lowndes, Pierce, Telfair, Ware, and Wayne) 1955-1962. The Legislative Series includes materials that assisted Blitch with monitoring legislative issues, researching and writing legislation, and incoming and outgoing correspondence. Materials are arranged alphabetically by subject or committee name. Blitch was particularly interested in legislation relating to agriculture, soil and water conservation, and the development of ports, harbors, and military installations. She chose to serve on the Public Works Committee, and its subcommittee Public Roads, Rivers and Harbors, and Watersheds, believing she could best help the people of the Eighth District on those two committees. Researchers are encouraged to look through the entire alphabetical listing as subjects or legislation may be listed under both subject and committee.
