This series contains Paul A. Fino's constiuent files from his time in the United States House of Representatives. Fino's contiuents were mostly from the Bronx, New York, but some constiuents in Brooklyn wrote to Fino because they did not have a Republican representative. This series contains correspondence from constituents broken down into several categories: academy, general, jobs, servicemen, veterans, and visas. Soliders would often write to Fino and ask for help relating to hardship dischages, compassionate reassignments, medical discharges and transfers. While Fino did not have the authority to grant these assignments, he often had the contacts to help speed the process of recieving a response from the specified branches of the service.. This series also includes records of constiuents who asked Fino to reccommend them for the United States Naval Academy, constiuents asking for Fino to help them find a job, veterans asking for help related to Social Security and benefits, as well as general questions about housing and government information. While also helping family members of constituents secure visas to immigrate to this country.
