The files included in this section are organized as Series 4 and located in Boxes 1-177.
Congressman Leland served on and testified before numerous committees and subcommittees during his tenure in the U.S. Congress. However, not all of his committee activities were filed by his staff under the committee name. Researchers are advised to use the computer index to the collection in order to locate all the desired files. The committee files from Washington will consist of correspondence, memoranda, clippings, testimonies, and studies pertaining to proposed federal legislation. Legislation unrelated to Mickey Leland’s federal committee assignments will be found in Series 2. Committee activities are filed chronologically, under the committee name and include the House Bill number. While chairing the House Select Committee on Hunger, Leland was a member of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and the Subcommittees on Telecommunications and Finance, Health and the Environment, and Energy and Power. He chaired the Subcommittee on Postal Operations and Services and served on the Committee on Post Office and Civil Service and the Subcommittee on Compensation and Employment.
The committee assignment that gave Congressman Leland national exposure was his 1984 appointment as Chairman of the House Select Committee on Hunger. There is little in the Leland Papers on this subject. The files of the Committee chairmen are considered official records, and as such, remain with the committee until transferred to the National Archives.
