Harris II was born in Kansas City, Missouri, on\n         April 14, 1926. He did his undergraduate work at Missouri\n         Valley College, Rockhurst College, and the University of Notre\n         Dame, where he received a Bachelor of Arts degrees. Harris\n         earned a law degree from Georgetown University Law School but\n         his education was interrupted in 1942 when he served as an U.\n         S. naval officer during World War II. He settled in Fairfax\n         County in 1956 and became involved in civic affairs; in 1967\n         he made his first campaign for public office and was elected\n         to the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors.","He was involved in concerns beyond northern Virginia; as an\n         attorney specializing in international trade he helped draft\n         America's first Food for Peace law in 1955. Seven years later,\n         he drafted parts of President John F. Kennedy's Trade\n         Expansion Act of 1962. In 1974 Harris was elected to Congress\n         from Virginia's Eighth District as the state's first Catholic\n         congressman. Harris served on the House Post Office and Civil\n         Service committees and the House's District of Columbia\n         committee. He chaired the House Subcommittees on the\n         Bicentennial, Environment, and International Community during\n         his first term. Harris was also an active member of the\n         Environmental Study Conference and a founders of the Caucus of\n         New Democratic House Members.","Funded in part by a grant from the National Endowment\n            for the Humanities","The \n         Herbert E. Harris(1926-) papers, ca.\n         1974-1981, consist of ca. 43,000 items (107 Hollinger boxes,\n         ca. 37 cubic feet), correspondence, newsletters, photographs\n         notes, printed matter and miscellaneous materials resulting\n         from Harris's tenure as a member of the U. S. House of\n         Representatives during the 94th, 95th, and 96th Congresses,\n         1975-1981, representing the Eighth District of \n         Virginia. These papers relate to his\n         years in office until his defeat in his bid for reelection in\n         November 1980. There is very little material specifically\n         related to his campaigns for public office, and other\n         miscellaneous activities.","The bulk of the collection consists of correspondence\n         between Harris and his constituents, including exchanges of\n         political ideas and appeals for information or assistance.\n         These provide some insight into the legislative activities of\n         Harris as a congressman. One such example was his successful\n         attempt to expand the boundaries of the \n         Manassas National Battlefield Parkand his\n         efforts toward the creation of a Tenants' Tax Justice\n         bill.","See the \n            \n            University of Virginia Library’s use policy.","University of Virginia.

Harris II was born in Kansas City, Missouri, on\n         April 14, 1926. He did his undergraduate work at Missouri\n         Valley College, Rockhurst College, and the University of Notre\n         Dame, where he received a Bachelor of Arts degrees. Harris\n         earned a law degree from Georgetown University Law School but\n         his education was interrupted in 1942 when he served as an U.\n         S. naval officer during World War II. He settled in Fairfax\n         County in 1956 and became involved in civic affairs; in 1967\n         he made his first campaign for public office and was elected\n         to the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors.","He was involved in concerns beyond northern Virginia; as an\n         attorney specializing in international trade he helped draft\n         America's first Food for Peace law in 1955. Seven years later,\n         he drafted parts of President John F. Kennedy's Trade\n         Expansion Act of 1962. In 1974 Harris was elected to Congress\n         from Virginia's Eighth District as the state's first Catholic\n         congressman. Harris served on the House Post Office and Civil\n         Service committees and the House's District of Columbia\n         committee. He chaired the House Subcommittees on the\n         Bicentennial, Environment, and International Community during\n         his first term. Harris was also an active member of the\n         Environmental Study Conference and a founders of the Caucus of\n         New Democratic House Members.","Funded in part by a grant from the National Endowment\n            for the Humanities","The \n         Herbert E.

Harris\n         earned a law degree from Georgetown University Law School but\n         his education was interrupted in 1942 when he served as an U.\n         S. naval officer during World War II. He settled in Fairfax\n         County in 1956 and became involved in civic affairs; in 1967\n         he made his first campaign for public office and was elected\n         to the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors.","He was involved in concerns beyond northern Virginia; as an\n         attorney specializing in international trade he helped draft\n         America's first Food for Peace law in 1955. Seven years later,\n         he drafted parts of President John F. Kennedy's Trade\n         Expansion Act of 1962. In 1974 Harris was elected to Congress\n         from Virginia's Eighth District as the state's first Catholic\n         congressman. Harris served on the House Post Office and Civil\n         Service committees and the House's District of Columbia\n         committee. He chaired the House Subcommittees on the\n         Bicentennial, Environment, and International Community during\n         his first term. Harris was also an active member of the\n         Environmental Study Conference and a founders of the Caucus of\n         New Democratic House Members.","Funded in part by a grant from the National Endowment\n            for the Humanities","The \n         Herbert E. Harris(1926-) papers, ca.\n         1974-1981, consist of ca. 43,000 items (107 Hollinger boxes,\n         ca. 37 cubic feet), correspondence, newsletters, photographs\n         notes, printed matter and miscellaneous materials resulting\n         from Harris's tenure as a member of the U. S. House of\n         Representatives during the 94th, 95th, and 96th Congresses,\n         1975-1981, representing the Eighth District of \n         Virginia. These papers relate to his\n         years in office until his defeat in his bid for reelection in\n         November 1980. There is very little material specifically\n         related to his campaigns for public office, and other\n         miscellaneous activities.","The bulk of the collection consists of correspondence\n         between Harris and his constituents, including exchanges of\n         political ideas and appeals for information or assistance.\n         These provide some insight into the legislative activities of\n         Harris as a congressman. One such example was his successful\n         attempt to expand the boundaries of the \n         Manassas National Battlefield Parkand his\n         efforts toward the creation of a Tenants' Tax Justice\n         bill.","See the \n            \n            University of Virginia Library’s use policy.","University of Virginia.

Subject Files: These contain reports, \"Dear\n            Colleague\" letters, memos, statements, and correspondence\n            about various legislative topics. Subject folders differ\n            from the legislative files in that the former are arranged\n            only by general topics while each folder in the Legislative\n            Information Files relates specifically to a particular bill\n            (Boxes 82-99).","C. Chronological Legislative Files: These files are\n            self-explanatory; furthermore, they pertain to proposed or\n            pending legislation but unlike subseries B (Subject Files)\n            it is a miscellaneous grouping of materials (Box 100).","D.

Tenants' Tax Justice Bill: This folders were pulled\n            from the collection for consolidation in this subseries.\n            This bill sought to allow tenants to claim a tax deduction\n            for that part of their rent which paid local property\n            taxes, rather than allowing the tax deduction solely for\n            the owners of rental units (Box 104).","Series IV: Photographs File: Self-explanatory (Box\n         104).","Series V: Oversize: Most of these items (in Oversize box\n         M-3) are maps pertaining to the Manassas National Battlefield\n         Park bill.","Series VI: Restricted File: Materials such as job\n         applications, resumes, and salary information are restricted.\n         No access is allowed without the written consent of Mr. Harris\n         (Boxes 105-107).","Herbert E.

Harris II was born in Kansas City, Missouri, on\n         April 14, 1926. He did his undergraduate work at Missouri\n         Valley College, Rockhurst College, and the University of Notre\n         Dame, where he received a Bachelor of Arts degrees. Harris\n         earned a law degree from Georgetown University Law School but\n         his education was interrupted in 1942 when he served as an U.\n         S. naval officer during World War II. He settled in Fairfax\n         County in 1956 and became involved in civic affairs; in 1967\n         he made his first campaign for public office and was elected\n         to the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors.","He was involved in concerns beyond northern Virginia; as an\n         attorney specializing in international trade he helped draft\n         America's first Food for Peace law in 1955. Seven years later,\n         he drafted parts of President John F. Kennedy's Trade\n         Expansion Act of 1962. In 1974 Harris was elected to Congress\n         from Virginia's Eighth District as the state's first Catholic\n         congressman. Harris served on the House Post Office and Civil\n         Service committees and the House's District of Columbia\n         committee. He chaired the House Subcommittees on the\n         Bicentennial, Environment, and International Community during\n         his first term. Harris was also an active member of the\n         Environmental Study Conference and a founders of the Caucus of\n         New Democratic House Members.","Funded in part by a grant from the National Endowment\n            for the Humanities","The \n         Herbert E. Harris(1926-) papers, ca.\n         1974-1981, consist of ca. 43,000 items (107 Hollinger boxes,\n         ca. 37 cubic feet), correspondence, newsletters, photographs\n         notes, printed matter and miscellaneous materials resulting\n         from Harris's tenure as a member of the U. S. House of\n         Representatives during the 94th, 95th, and 96th Congresses,\n         1975-1981, representing the Eighth District of \n         Virginia. These papers relate to his\n         years in office until his defeat in his bid for reelection in\n         November 1980. There is very little material specifically\n         related to his campaigns for public office, and other\n         miscellaneous activities.","The bulk of the collection consists of correspondence\n         between Harris and his constituents, including exchanges of\n         political ideas and appeals for information or assistance.\n         These provide some insight into the legislative activities of\n         Harris as a congressman. One such example was his successful\n         attempt to expand the boundaries of the \n         Manassas National Battlefield Parkand his\n         efforts toward the creation of a Tenants' Tax Justice\n         bill.","See the \n            \n            University of Virginia Library’s use policy.","University of Virginia.

The nature of a particular report or\n            newsletter is indicated in the original folder headings.\n            Reports or newsletters either deal primarily with a\n            particular topic or are directed toward a specific\n            constituency.","Series II: Correspondence: This series contains constituent\n         mail, as well as correspondence with other legislators and\n         government officials. Certain folders are arranged in reverse\n         chronological order under a subseries A of the same name\n         (Boxes 12-19); in subseries B, \"Topical Correspondence\" (Boxes\n         20-66); or as subseries C, \"Alphabetical Correspondence\"\n         (Boxes 67-70).","Series III: Legislation Files: This series contains\n         Harris's legislative activities as a member of the 94th, 95th\n         and 96th Congresses, and is arranged into three general\n         categories: Legislative Information Files, Subject Files, and\n         Chronological Legislative Files. The Legislative Files are\n         divided into five subseries:","A. Legislative Information Files: These contain folders\n            for Harris-sponsored legislation; empty ones are retained.\n            House bills are filed first, in numerical order, followed\n            by resolutions and joint resolutions (Boxes 71-81).","B. Subject Files: These contain reports, \"Dear\n            Colleague\" letters, memos, statements, and correspondence\n            about various legislative topics. Subject folders differ\n            from the legislative files in that the former are arranged\n            only by general topics while each folder in the Legislative\n            Information Files relates specifically to a particular bill\n            (Boxes 82-99).","C. Chronological Legislative Files: These files are\n            self-explanatory; furthermore, they pertain to proposed or\n            pending legislation but unlike subseries B (Subject Files)\n            it is a miscellaneous grouping of materials (Box 100).","D. Manassas National Battlefield Park Bill: Folders\n            related to this legislation were transferred from\n            throughout the collection and filed in this subseries for\n            researcher convenience. It includes correspondence, and\n            thanks to this measure the boundaries of the park were\n            expanded by 1700 acres in order to protect it from\n            encroaching commercial development (Boxes 101-104).","E. Tenants' Tax Justice Bill: This folders were pulled\n            from the collection for consolidation in this subseries.\n            This bill sought to allow tenants to claim a tax deduction\n            for that part of their rent which paid local property\n            taxes, rather than allowing the tax deduction solely for\n            the owners of rental units (Box 104).","Series IV: Photographs File: Self-explanatory (Box\n         104).","Series V: Oversize: Most of these items (in Oversize box\n         M-3) are maps pertaining to the Manassas National Battlefield\n         Park bill.","Series VI: Restricted File: Materials such as job\n         applications, resumes, and salary information are restricted.\n         No access is allowed without the written consent of Mr. Harris\n         (Boxes 105-107)."],"bioghist_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eHerbert E.
