The sub-series is arranged by type of record into the six categories of senate roll call votes, senate record votes, legislative activities, sponsored and cosponsored bills, miscellaneous, and Congressional Record statements.
The four and one-half cubic feet of senate roll call votes comprises the largest category within the sub-series. These records contain individual sheets compiled by the Senate Democratic Policy Committee and printed by the Government Printing Office on each vote cast in the U.S. Senate from January 1975 through December 1998. The sheets are arranged by year in chronological order by vote number. Information on the sheets includes a topic heading or title, the legislative bill number, a brief analysis, and listings of those senators voting yea or nay, along with a listing of those not voting on that particular bill. Subject indexes for each year's votes are included with the sheets, which may be loose or in softbound editions for individual Congressional sessions.
The senate record votes comprise one-half cubic foot of small, softbound printed volumes compiled by the Senate Democratic Policy Committee. The volumes contain brief descriptions of each vote taken in the U.S. Senate, along with handwritten notations as to how Senator Glenn voted on each particular bill or legislative measure. Each volume contains the votes, arranged in chronological order by vote number, for an individual year and includes a subject index.
