Description:

From the Sub-Series:

Records in this series reflect the concise results of staff research in 1973 and 1974. They include briefing books on Republican candidate James Erwin's statements, voting record, and a contributors' list to Erwin's 1970 campaign for governor. Also included are Mitchell's press releases, statements, position papers, and notes on such issues as tax reform, energy, and fishing. Mitchell proposed such programs as establishment of a Maine Land Bank to protect Maine's public lands; development support for the fishing industry; establishment of a comprehensive energy policy; improvement of Maine's health care system; programs to assure financial accountability and cost analysis for governmental agencies; expanded adult education; and, most importantly, programs to ensure that "No Maine citizen should be forced to choose between a decent job and a decent place to live. In planning for Maine's future we must integrate economic and environmental objectives." These papers were developed from research material in the subject and campaign files.

Acknowledgment of non-neutrality

The George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, like all archives and special collections libraries, is the creation of human beings who have collected, organized, and described things in ways that reflect personal, cultural, societal, and institutional biases. Although we strive to preserve and present collections in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, and are represented in the collections, we acknowledge that our systems are neither neutral nor perfect. We encourage you to let us know if you encounter materials, descriptive language, or practices that are offensive or harmful, particularly those for which inadequate context or warning is offered. We are committed to modifying and updating our descriptive practices to use respectful and inclusive terminology and appreciate your help in this work. We look forward to supporting you in your research and learning together.
