Education and Labor Subseries, 1985-1994 and undated

Scope and content:

Correspondents are frequently Price's legislative colleagues, especially those serving on pertinent committees (e.g. Dennis Eckart (Ohio), chair of the Small Business Subcommittee), and officials in stakeholder organizations such as North Carolina schools, Wake Forest University and Meredith College. Organizations mentioned frequently include the National School Boards Association; the Taft Institute; OSHA [Occupational Safety and Health Administration]; the U.S. Department of Labor; and telecommunications organizations such as cable companies and the FCC [Federal Communications Commission]. Prominent labor and economic topics include: the Family Medical Leave Act; RICO [Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations] legislation; unemployment; child welfare issues; Head Start programs; hunger and welfare issues; and Wake County schools.

Education topics reflect the concentration of higher institutions of learning in Price's constituency, his interest in this area of legislation, his time spent on the Science, Space, and Technology Committee as well as his time as co-chair of the Literacy Task Force of the Sunbelt Caucus. Subjects represented include: the Higher Education Act; all levels of education; student financial aid; literacy; Goals 2000: Educate America Act; national service legislation; standardized testing; technology issues; and telecommunications issues. Other topics present seem to relate to this committee area tangentially such as files on infant mortality.

Document types and formats include correspondence, Congressional Research Service reports, various office documents, bills, staff memos, talking points, committee testimony, Price's speeches, handwritten notes, clippings, and printed materials.
