This series spans the entire period of Stigler's congressional career, contains 3.3 cubic feet of documents, and is divided into two subseries. The general subseries contains bills introduced by Stigler and others, correspondence, clippings, speeches by Stigler and others, pamphlets, copies of the Congressional Record, and Stigler's voting record for the 78th to 81st Congresses. Many of Stigler's bills cover Indian topics; there are also several privates bills. These files are arranged by Congress. The committee subseries is comprised of correspondence, committee reports, pamphlets, brochures, bills, clippings, and hearing transcripts. Committees that are best represented are Appropriations (especially work concerning the Agriculture Department, 1949-1952), Flood Control (primarily Oklahoma projects), and Veterans Affairs. These files are arranged alphabetically by committee.
