Crime and Anti-Crime Files
1979-1983
6 feet
Types of records in this subseries include correspondence, memos, notes, clippings, magazine articles, position papers, drafts of legislation, speeches, federal legislation, minutes, resolutions, Attorney General's opinions, bill analyses, U. S. Supreme Court cases synopses and decisions, copies from Vernon's Civil Statutes, copies from the Code of Criminal Statutes, copies from the records of the 61st-64th Legislative Sessions, mailing lists, bill status reports, newsletters, form letters, typewriter magnetic cards, reports, court case reports, fiscal notes, legislative committee reports, lists of witnesses, lists of supporters of the Anti-Crime Package, editorials, and press releases. All of these records document the anti-crime legislative packages proposed by Governor Clements in 1979, 1981, and 1983 with the great majority of them dealing with 1981. They are grouped more or less by the three sessions of the legislature beginning with the 1983 session followed by those of 1979 and 1981. The arrangement within the three group can best be described as random. Many of the records pertaining to a particular bill for the 1981 session are kept together for most of the bills. There is considerable duplication of items among the several folders pertaining to some of the bills.
Individuals who figure prominently in these files are Chris Mealy, Assistant General Counsel; Willis Whatley, Deputy General Counsel; and David A. Dean, General Counsel.
There is some duplication between the records in this subseries and the records of the Legislative Office. This subseries contains a much more complete record of the anti-crime legislation than do the records of the Legislative Office.
These records have all been transferred into acid and lignin free folders and boxes. In that process, paper clips and other metal fasteners except staples were removed. Duplicate items within individual folders were removed and discarded. Envelopes were also removed and discarded. A few records were removed from binders to eliminate contact with acidic materials and to conserve space. Contents of original folders that were more than three-fourths inch thick were normally divided into two or more new folders. In a few cases the records were divided by types of record. The arrangement within the new folders is probably best described as random since that is how they were filed in the original folders.
The records in this subseries are in good condition. Only a few have rust stains from paper clips and other metal fasteners, and a few have bent or otherwise damaged edges from there having been too many records in some of the original folders. The bent edges have been straightened as much as possible in the new folders. A few items have stains from long contact with highly acidic red rope expansion folders and newspaper clippings. None of the boxes appear to have been wet, and none of the records have any indication of mold or mildew.

Crime and Anti-Crime Files
1979-1983
6 feet
Types of records in this subseries include correspondence, memos, notes, clippings, magazine articles, position papers, drafts of legislation, speeches, federal legislation, minutes, resolutions, Attorney General's opinions, bill analyses, U. S. Supreme Court cases synopses and decisions, copies from Vernon's Civil Statutes, copies from the Code of Criminal Statutes, copies from the records of the 61st-64th Legislative Sessions, mailing lists, bill status reports, newsletters, form letters, typewriter magnetic cards, reports, court case reports, fiscal notes, legislative committee reports, lists of witnesses, lists of supporters of the Anti-Crime Package, editorials, and press releases. All of these records document the anti-crime legislative packages proposed by Governor Clements in 1979, 1981, and 1983 with the great majority of them dealing with 1981. They are grouped more or less by the three sessions of the legislature beginning with the 1983 session followed by those of 1979 and 1981. The arrangement within the three group can best be described as random. Many of the records pertaining to a particular bill for the 1981 session are kept together for most of the bills. There is considerable duplication of items among the several folders pertaining to some of the bills.
Individuals who figure prominently in these files are Chris Mealy, Assistant General Counsel; Willis Whatley, Deputy General Counsel; and David A. Dean, General Counsel.
There is some duplication between the records in this subseries and the records of the Legislative Office. This subseries contains a much more complete record of the anti-crime legislation than do the records of the Legislative Office.
These records have all been transferred into acid and lignin free folders and boxes. In that process, paper clips and other metal fasteners except staples were removed. Duplicate items within individual folders were removed and discarded. Envelopes were also removed and discarded. A few records were removed from binders to eliminate contact with acidic materials and to conserve space. Contents of original folders that were more than three-fourths inch thick were normally divided into two or more new folders. In a few cases the records were divided by types of record. The arrangement within the new folders is probably best described as random since that is how they were filed in the original folders.
The records in this subseries are in good condition. Only a few have rust stains from paper clips and other metal fasteners, and a few have bent or otherwise damaged edges from there having been too many records in some of the original folders. The bent edges have been straightened as much as possible in the new folders. A few items have stains from long contact with highly acidic red rope expansion folders and newspaper clippings. None of the boxes appear to have been wet, and none of the records have any indication of mold or mildew.
