Rowland, J. Roy (James Roy), 1926-2022
J. Roy Rowland is a doctor who served in the Georgia House of Representatives from 1976 to 1982 and the U.S. House of Representatives from 1982 to 1994 and who was active in public policy related to health care. Rowland's papers document his political career and include constituent correspondence, legislative and subject files, press files, and schedules.

Series I. Administrative, 1982-1994 63 box(es) (30 linear feet)

The Administrative Series consists of subject files, campaign records, clippings and press releases, bills, voting records, and committee files. Of particular note is Member-to-Member correspondence that reflects Rowland's communication with other representatives seeking support on various issues and requesting to be appointed to particular committees. The legislation files document Rowland's legislative interests, primarily related to health care. Included is a comprehensive list of the bills Rowland introduced as well as printed copies of some of these bills. Though representative of Rowland's membership on committees, caucuses and other groups and forums, Committees/Caucuses files contain primarily meeting and hearing notices and some agendas for the Veterans' Affairs Committee, Public Works and Transportation Committee and the Select Committee on Children, Youth and Families. The press files consist of clippings and news releases, arranged chronologically, mostly from 1991 to 1993. The bulk of the collection's news clippings, organized by subject, can be found in Series IV. Press. Campaign files includes records of contributions and letters of support related to Rowland's 1984 re-election campaign. There is some information on how various organizations, such as the AFL-CIO and Christian Voice, interpreted Rowland's stance on specific issues.

Series III. Constituent Services, 1983-1994 88 box(es) (41.25 linear feet)

The constituent mail makes up the majority of this series and contains mail on a variety of topics including form letter lobbies of Rowland and personal letters written about issues of interest to constituents. Correspondence about specific legislation is typically filed in Series II. Legislative with the staff member who handled the topic in question. In this series, however, most constituent letters do not have a personal reply from Rowland or his staff representative, but received a form reply, which is typically not attached to the letter, but filed with other form responses (see 2. Computer Mail, 103rd Congress for form replies, 1991-1994 and Series II. Legislative, A. Legislative Directors' Files, Kathy Bryant Hennemuth's Legislative Mail for early form responses). The only exception to this type of form reply is Intergovernmental Affairs Mail, which did receive personal responses from a staff member and/or Rowland.
