Arrangement

This subseries is arranged in its original order as kept by the Senator's staff, which was an alphabetical arrangement that repeated for each year. It is likely that this series mimics the arrangement seen in the Correspondence subseries, and likely corresponds to those dates ranges, i.e. the first alphabetical run grouping likely dates from 1961-1964, the second from 1965-1968, and thereafter repeats for each calendar year.
