U.S. House:
Personal/Political/Official: General Files,
1973-1978, 3 boxes.
Arranged alphabetically.
Biographical information, financial disclosure forms, guest books, schedules, and calendars
are found in this subseries, as well as Cohen's personal notes about his experiences as a
member of Congress. Cohen's schedules record daily events such as committee meetings,
press conferences, and meetings with groups and individuals. Cohen launched a
"Citizens' Hour" program which was designed to give his constituents an
opportunity to talk informally with him about their concerns during scheduled office hours
held in district offices and town halls. This was an unusual outreach effort for that
time, and Cohen's schedules include appointments for many "Citizens' Hour"
sessions held throughout Maine. |
