Robert H. Michel Collection: Staff Series, Karen Buttaro Files, 1979-93
 

20.0 Linear Shelf Feet
Date Prepared: April 12, 2000

Karen Buttaro served on Rep. Michel's legislative staff. The vast majority of her files date from 1991-93 and deal primarily with budget, tax, and economic issues. There are some files related to the end of the 102nd Congress and opening day of the 103rd. The series is arranged alphabetically by subject.

Although the comprehensiveness varies considerably from file to file, they typically contain reference information, staff memoranda, correspondence, and legislative documents such as copies of bills and legislative analyses.

As processing continues on the Robert H. Michel Papers, additional relevant files may be discovered and added to this series.
