Energy and Commerce Subseries, 1987-1994
- Scope and content:
-
Contains documents related to a variety of topics, chiefly energy production and the environment. Issues and legislative initiatives vary widely but often relate to the environment, including the following topics: clean air and wilderness; animal welfare; public health; cancer hospitals; the FDA [Food and Drug Administration]; various medications; maternal-child programs; Medicare; insurance and other health-related issues; cable television; telecommunications; energy and utility issues; nuclear power legislation; and energy policies. There is less correspondence and a higher frequency of staff memos to Price, perhaps reflecting less activity in this area of legislation.
Prominent organizations in these files include: the EPA [Environmental Protection Agency] or environment-related organizations such as the Environmental Defense Fund; certain North Carolina organizations; UNC [University of North Carolina]; the State of North Carolina; North Carolina State University; the FCC; telecommunications companies; public radio; and CPandL [Carolina Power and Light].
As in previous subseries, correspondence frequently reveals evidence of legislators attempting to gain support for their initiative. The files are unarranged.
