Robert H. Michel Collection: Leadership Series, Leadership Files, 1963-96, Joint Letters, 1983-94
 

Date Prepared:  November 16, 2009

As part of his leadership responsibilities, Bob Michel sent letters to his colleagues on a variety of subjects. The Leadership series includes three types of letters. His staff called them “Dear Colleague” letters, “Dear Republican Colleague” letters, and “Joint Letters.” Although filed separately, there is considerable overlap among the three.

The “”Joint Letters” series consists of letters signed by members of the House of Representatives—sometimes just Republicans, other times members of both parties. Most of the letters are directed to members of the executive branch, including the president. Others were sent to colleagues in the House and Senate. A few of the files contain responses. The subjects run from procedural matters in the chamber to issues of the day.

The letters number 461, totaling 1,669 pages.
