Scope and Content
From the Collection:
This collection includes all of Lujan's legislative files from the 92nd Congress (1971/72) to the 97th Congress (1981-1982). These files normally house printed copies of bills, revised and amended bills, resolutions and occasionally other documents relative to a specific bill or piece of legislation. There are also some special legislative research files that Lujan and his staff established to provide background information on pending bills and social issues: box 5 contains several folders on the Vermejo Park Ranch; boxes 13-16 have a great deal of information on wilderness legislation and review, specifically on the Roadside Area Review and Evaluation (RARE II); box 11 includes constituent letters and other documents pertaining to the Equal Rights Amendment; and boxes 5, 13 and 18-19 contain large amounts of background information on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Chapel at Eagle's Nest, New Mexico, also known as the Vietnam Veterans' Peace and Brotherhood Chapel. Finally, Lujan has maintained a few files that reveal his stands and opinions on various legislative items. These can be found in boxes 7 and 14.
In the Addition are various kinds of legislative materials. The Personal and Political Papers series contains Lujan's appointment books for 1982-1985 and political party files. The Legislative Records series includes polling data on legislative issues, bills with supporting material, committee and subcommittee work files, "Dear colleague" letters, position papers, speeches prepared for delivery on the floor and Lujan's voting record. These records show Lujan's special interest in Indian affairs, nuclear power expansion and the opening of Federal lands to commerce and recreation. The grant and project files (State/District files) and Lujan's replies to constituent mail make up the Constituent Services Series. In the Press and Media Activity series are newspaper clippings, press releases, television recordings and transcripts. Included in the clippings are some from Lujan's time as the Secretary of Interior covering such issues as the spotted owl, increased regulation of Indian casinos and construction of the Washington Redskins stadium on federal property.
