Abstract:

Correspondence, subject, and legislative files of Robert J. Cornell, Democratic representative from the 8th Congressional District of Wisconsin. Cornell was one of only two Catholic priests to serve in the United States House of Representatives. The bulk of the collection covers the years he served in Congress, 1974-1978. The legislative and congressional files contain correspondence, voting records, and clippings. Subjects include both specific legislation with which he was involved, as well as a wide variety of national and local subjects such as natural resources, agriculture, taxes, abortion, labor, energy, development, health, education, federal agencies, and social security. In addition, there are press releases and correspondence documenting Cornell's post-congressional career. Scrapbooks contain clippings dated 1966-2004.
