The papers are divided\n         into seventeen series: June Nolde Butler papers; correspondence and subject files; military service; appointment calendars; campaigns; scrapbooks, clippings and photos; speeches; newsletters, press\n         releases, radio reports and weekly reports; voting record;\n         constituency correspondence; confirmation of Gerald R. Ford as\n         Vice President; impeachment of President\n         Richard M. Nixon; Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978;\n         Legal Services Corporation; re-authorization of the Department of Justice\n         for the Fiscal Year 1982; Voting Rights Act extension; the National Bankruptcy Review\n         Commission, 1995-1997; and Artifacts, 1944-1998.
