Scope and Content Note
The J. Arthur Younger Papers represent virtually the complete written record of ten years in the House of Representatives
(1954-1964). Almost every aspect of a Congressman's life and duties are covered: elections; House rules and procedure; committee
activity; public and private bills; public opinion; contact with constituents; the extent of obligatory appearances at Washington
and California events.
In organizing this collection, effort has been made, wherever possible, to maintain the filing system used by J. Arthur Younger.
Congressman Younger's folder titles appear in this register as bold-type. Cross-references, which have been added for the
convenience of the reader, appear in upper/lower case type.
KEY: The numbers at the right margin of each entry represent box and folder numbers. Hence, 2 - 23 indicates Box 2, Folder 23.
9 - 6/10 indicates that material on that subject may be found in Box 9, folders 6 through 10, inclusively.
