Legislative Files
Scope and Contents
Bill files, voting and attendance records, Matsunaga legislative activities by year, cumulative legislative history, and committee files are in this series. The latter are small as Matsunaga “spurned much committee work” (Halloran, Richard. Sparky: Warrior, Peacemaker, Poet, Patriot. Honolulu, Watermark Publishing, 2002, p. xi).
