Congressman Leland served on numerous committees during his tenure in the Texas House of Representatives, Representing the 88th District of Houston Texas. He became famous as the Labor Committee, State Affairs Committee, Human Resources Committee, Legislative Council Subcommittee on Occupational and Industrial Safety, and the Joint Committee on Prison Reform. Clearly, there is evidence that Leland made a significant contribution in the Texas Legislature on health and other issues. At present, however, there is little in the Leland papers to document his contribution through his committee work. To date, the majority of his Austin papers have not been located. The researcher is directed to Series 14 of the papers guide, to discover any Oral History contributions to this period.
