A. S. "Mike" Monroney Collection
Collection
Identifier: CAC-CC-038
Scope and Contents
Although Mike Monroney was in Congress from 1938 to 1968, the collection has very little material from his years as a representative.

All that remains from his years in the House are a few folders of speeches and reports on the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946.

John William "Elmer" Thomas Collection
Collection
Identifier: CAC-CC-053

The files reflect the national debate over these two major crises and include opinions of colleagues, figures in the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration, and other prominent personalities. Because...
