Scope and Content Note
This series contains correspondence and background files compiled by the staff of Speaker Stanley Fink. These files contain
background information on legislative subject areas and correspondence between the Speaker and other legislators, interest
groups, state agency officers, local officials, and private citizens concerning proposed legislation. There are memoranda
prepared by staff members providing historical background and legislative options on important issues. Other types of documents
in the files include: reports (published and unpublished, many by New York state agencies); copies of bills; press releases;
press clippings; newsletters from legislators; petitions; and excerpts from the Assembly Journal.
There are virtually no memoranda between the speaker and his top advisors, and virtually no notes from the frequent meetings
at which policy decisions were made. Therefore, these files are not fully representative of the operations of the Speaker's
Office.
The subjects of these files include: broad topics such as labor, veteran's affairs, or infrastructure; controversial topics
such as abortion, Love Canal, and nuclear freeze; individual legislation (e.g. Bottle Bill); state agencies and commissioners
and public and private institutions and organizations; geographic locations (e.g. New York City, Yonkers); and political or
administrative topics such as delegate selection, Democratic National Committee, and interns.
At the end of the series are correspondence surveys for the years 1977-1986. These provide a statistical breakdown of correspondence
received by Speaker Fink by subject or issue, pro or con orientations of the writer, and whether the writer resided in Fink's
home district.
L0017-86, 23 cubic feet: records filed in Fink's Albany office.
L0017-87, 3 cubic feet: records filed in Fink's New York City office.
