Eagleton, Thomas F. , 1981-84
These folders contain letters, memos, and notes between Baker and other senators (or occasionally their staff or family members) primarily during the time Baker was minority leader (1977- 1981) and majority leader (1981-1985). Many are to express thanks for support of a specific issue but some are more substantial discussing specific legislative issues. Some examples include letters to Baker thanking him for his support or vote on a specific bill or amendment; questions or requests about the senate schedule; condolence, thank you, and congratulation notes; letters from Baker to all Republican senators about scheduling or procedures.
