I. Congressional, 1964-1966
- Extent:
- 15 box(es) and (7.5 linear feet)
- Scope and content:
-
The press files include news releases from Callaway's congressional office, his monthly newsletter to constituents, articles written by or for Callaway for newspapers and magazines, notes on radio and television appearances, and a number of speeches delivered on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives.
Worthy of note is Callaway's work on electronic data processing. Two trips to Vietnam by Callaway are documented, and the series contains a handwritten diary kept by him during his trip to the Soviet Union.
The name file has also been referred to as a cross-reference file since it consists of duplicate copies of outgoing correspondence filed by the surname of the person addressed. The subject heading is typed at the top, but the subject files are not contained in the collection. The name file is fragmentary, with large gaps existing in the alphabetical sequence. Subjects treated in the correspondence relate to congressional bills, constituent requests, and routine matters. Information on Callaway's race for governor is also documented.
