J. Roy Rowland Papers, Series II, Subseries A: Legislative Directors' Files documents the work of Rowland's two legislative
directors, Rebecca Brady (1983-1988) and Kathy Bryant Hennemuth (1987-1994). Legislative research and bill files may contain

Colleague" letters to/from other members of Congress, Rowland's statements made on the House floor, clippings, background
memoranda from staff to Rowland, hearing statements by Rowland and others, and correspondence from lobbyists. Legislative
mail contains letters to Rowland from constituents about legislation and copies of Rowland's responses. Mail files also include
responses to constituents' telephone calls or visits to district offices and inquiries received at Rowland's Washington, D.C.,
office. Topics in the mail files usually reflect the staffer's assigned legislative topics. Speeches and statements files
contain speeches and statements Rowland made on the House floor or in his district. See Series IV. Press and Series I. Administrative
for additional speeches and statements. The Legislative Series' main strength is health care legislation and related committee
work (e.g., Energy and Commerce Committee, Veterans Affairs Committee, National Commission on AIDS, National Commission to
Prevent Infant Mortality, Select Committee on Children, Youth and Families), and to a lesser extent the topics of transportation
(Public Works and Transportation Committee) agriculture, education, defense, the environment, and foreign affairs.

Contents: |
Constituent Services series is organized in three subseries: A. Academies [Restricted], B. Projects and Grants, and C. Constituent
Mail. 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.
