In the Washington office, the Legislative files were managed by the Congress. For example, 1973-1974 files were kept for current use; and when the 93rd Congress adjourned, these files were retired. The overall arrangement of this series was chronological, latest date first, followed by an alphabetical arrangement of Joint, Standing (subcommittees) or select committees. Within each committee, subjects related to that committee are arranged in alphabetical order.
Legislative subject matter pertains to legislation being considered by Congress. The researcher will find overlap between the Legislative and Press Office series in related subject matter. For more detailed information on the Watergate affair, the researcher should review Series II (Press Office) and Series IV (Watergate).
