Scope and Content Note

The series consists of "Issue Files" as well as press releases and constituent newletters/questionnaires that span the legislative career of Franz S. Leichter.

Issue files are subdivided into "Statewide Issues" and "District Issues" and consist primarily of correspondence, reports, memoranda, copies of testimony, news clippings, and background material.

Press releases are limited to those issued directly from the senator's office. The newsletters or questionnaires are copies of material mailed directly to district voters to inform them of the senator's legislative activities and to survey opinion on a variety of current and/or ongoing issues of public interest.
