John W. Davis Papers, Series XI: Rivers, Harbors, and Watersheds files contain correspondence, clippings, news releases, and
Department of Agriculture reports on the federal watershed projects in the Seventh District. The file was maintained separately
in Davis' office and therefore was kept as a distinct series, although the file is small and somewhat similar to folders found
in Series VI. General File. The series is arranged alphabetically by name of project, then chronologically within each category.

Contents: |
The collection consists of Democrat James L. Paulk's state senatorial papers during his term representing the 13th District
from 1977 to 1979 and a small selection of files of Senator J. Ebb Duncan (30th District). Paulk's papers include incoming
and outgoing correspondence, memoranda, reports, clippings, bills, speeches, constituent questionnaires. Printed and photographic
materials document state fiscal concerns, environmental issues, and the state of county correctional institutions. Of particular
interest are the constituent surveys and responses from 1978 and 1979 as they reflect the opinions of Paulk's constituency
on issues of the day such as the Equal Rights Amendment, tax issues, capital punishment, and teacher's compensation. Duncan's
files, dating from 1977 to 1979, are legislative in nature and touch primarily on his efforts to secure transportation for
the elderly and mentally challenged through S.B. 553.

both filed separately (with the exception of the federal agencies and county files which were maintained together). Topics
include roads and interstates (I-75), water resource management (Carters Dam and Coosa River), Lockheed Corporation, rural
electrification, busing for integration and civil rights, county grants, housing, Medicare, and science and technology.
