BOX 1-15 United States Congress, 1940-2018
The United States Congress series contains materials documenting Hughes's early career working as legislative counsel to Senator Hubert H. Humphrey (1955-1958) and his work as an administrative assistant to Congressman Chester Bowles (1959-1960), as well as his continued professional and personal associations with both throughout his career. The series also contains a limited amount of material documenting Hughes’s association with Vice President Walter F. Mondale. The Chester Bowles material documents Hughes’s work for Bowles's congressional office and campaigns, including correspondence from constituents, drafts of books and articles Hughes edited for Bowles, files documenting bills Bowles worked on, as well as his platforms and policies. Bowles’s participation in John F. Kennedy’s 1960 presidential campaign and subsequent appointment to Kennedy’s administration as undersecretary of state is well represented through copies of letters to Kennedy. Replies from Kennedy are present to a lesser degree. Also featured is material relating to Bowles's two appointments as United States ambassador to India, including drafts of his book, Ambassador's Report, and correspondence to Hughes from his second tenure as ambassador. The Hubert H. Humphrey material documents Hughes’s work with Humphrey as well as his continued association until Humphrey’s death in 1978 and Hughes’s involvement with Humphrey’s legacy after his death. Materials cover Humphrey’s policies in the Senate, his electoral campaigns, the inner workings of his Senate office, and, to a limited degree, his vice presidency. The Walter F. Mondale material is limited and consists of correspondence between Mondale and Hughes and ephemera related to Mondale.
Material types include correspondence, memoranda, notes, ephemera, writings, drafts, and clippings.
Arranged alphabetically by name and then alphabetically by topic or material type.
