Series II: Personal/Political/Official
Scope and Contents note
This series documents the activities of Brademas and his staff that are not directly related to legislative or constituent services, but that are an integral part of a Congressional office. There are three subseries: Leadership, Campaign, and Personal. See specific subseries for detailed descriptions.
Subseries I: Leadership
Scope and Contents note
This subseries, consisting of 8 linear feet of material, reflects Brademas' participation in the Democratic Leadership of the House of Representatives, beginning in 1967 when he was appointed a regional assistant Whip. In 1971 he and John McFall shared duties as co-Majority Floor Whips and in 1973 Brademas became Chief Deputy Majority Whip. From 1977 to 1980, Brademas served as Majority Whip. Materials are arranged chronologically by Congressional Session, then alphabetically by subject.
Files in the 91st and 92nd Congresses contain materials related to the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1970. Brademas participated in the bipartisan group that supported the development of amendments to the legislation aimed at eliminating secrecy in the legislative process and democratizing and modernizing House procedures.
For information about Brademas' appointment and role as Chief Deputy Whip, discussions of potential roles for him in the party leadership, and analysis of debates over making the Whip position elective instead of appointive, consult folders in the 93rd Congress including the "Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee," "Democratic Steering & Policy Committee" (see especially memo dictated by Brademas describing the events leading to his appointment as Chief Deputy Whip) and "Whip Appointment" as well as folders in the 94th Congress including "Democratic Caucus" and "Leadership."
Additional materials address Brademas' role in the Democratic Caucus and Democratic Steering & Policy Committee, including his chairmanship of the Task Force on Information and other assignments; major legislation and democratic policy initiatives (see folders in the 93rd Congress on '"Budget Committee" and "Impoundment" or the 95th Congress on "Railroad Strike"); as well as some information regarding Brademas' committee memberships (see "93rd Congress Gorewitz, Rubin L." and "95th Congress Education").

Subseries II: Campaign
Scope and Contents note
This series contains 13 linear feet of campaign files of Brademas and his staff. After two unsuccessful campaigns in 1954 and 1956, Brademas took office in 1958, unseating Republican Jay F. Nimtz. Files begin with the 1956 campaign and are arranged chronologically by campaign year, then alphabetically by subject.
Each election generally contains information on the administration of the campaign (see folders on "Accounting," "Declaration of Candidacy," "Budget and Expenses," "Volunteers," "Voter Registration"); fundraising efforts and events (see folders on "Banquet," "Fundraising," "Contributions"); and campaign strategy (see folders on "Analysis," "Planning," "Polls," "Opponents," "Issues"). Also included for most years are clippings files with items from local newspapers about Brademas' campaigns as well as his opponents and colleagues. For information on Brademas' campaign-related television and radio appearances, see folders on "Television and Radio" as well as the Audiovisual subseries in the Media Series. Additionally, there are four scrapbooks covering elections from 1964 to 1976. Scrapbooks include photographs, newspaper clippings, correspondence, press releases, brochures, and campaign materials.

Subseries III: Personal
Scope and Contents note
This series contains 20 linear feet of files kept by Brademas' personal secretaries. Files are arranged alphabetically by subject. Materials reflect personal interests and endeavors by Brademas, publications by and about Brademas, membership with various boards and committees, travel with committees and congressional congregations as well as district visits, and accepted invitations. Correspondence files include communications between Brademas and personal friends, colleagues or constituent mail that was brought directly to Brademas' attention. Prominent correspondents include Thomas P. O'Neill, Costa Carras, Frank Thompson Jr., Douglas Davis, Bert Liss, Mort Linder, John Koumoulides, and Theodore Hesburgh.
Some material documents years before Brademas' congressional career. See early "Correspondence" and "Articles & Statements" as well as folders on "Biographical Information," "Application Material (Rhodes Scholarship, Harvard)," "Dissertation," "Methodist Work Camp," "Notes and Notebooks," and "Stevenson, Adlai: Executive Assistant Correspondence."
