Series IV. Constituent Services, 1981-1986

Extent:
41 box(es) (7 linear feet), 329 reels microfilm
Scope and content:

The majority of this series is made up of issue mail, which consists of correspondence containing information on constituents' views and questions about current events or public issues. Each issue was arranged by a computer-assigned number. A staff member then would code replies by subject(s) for entry into a computer-based correspondence management system.

Also included in this series is the output from the Senate Automated Indexing System. The system produced an index which then could be sorted by constituent name, subject, date, document number or responsible staff member's name. A library index encyclopedia is also available to identify the response sent to constituents on any particular issue.

Copies of the issue mail were microfilmed for the years 1981 to 1983.
