Abstract: The J. Arthur (Jesse Arthur) Younger Papers consist of the office files of J. Arthur Younger who was a United States Representative
of Congress for California's 11th Congressional District in San Mateo County from 1952-1967.
The J. Arthur Younger Papers represent a virtually 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.
