Abstract:
Congressional papers of Glenn R. Davis, Wisconsin representative from the Second District, 1947-1956, and from the Ninth District, 1965-1974. Copies of legislative bills and constituent correspondence, 1965-1974, reflect Davis' work on the House of Representatives committees on Appropriations, Public Works, Defense, and Military Construction, as well as on the Joint Committee on Budget Control. There is extensive correspondence between Davis and his constituents concerning the Watergate affair, 1973-1974. The Public Relations File contains media News Releases, 1967-1974, and Newsletters to constituents, 1950-1951, 1965-1974, issued by Davis' office. Political correspondence consists of copies of letters of such notable figures as Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, and fellow congressmen, mainly on congressional matters. There is a biographical sketch assembled by Davis' staff, and a microfilm copy of scrapbooks, 1946-1974, which document Davis' career. The collection lacks administrative and campaign records.
