This series contains records related to problem-solving activity on behalf of Senator Stafford's constituents. Each year, Senator Stafford's office received numerous letters from constituents asking for help with various problems. A typical case file consists of the constituent's letter, attached supporting material, and notes on the action taken to resolve the problem. The casework for each year is typically grouped under the file name General Casework with larger cases belonging in their own, separate folder. Cases are arranged chronologically by year.

This series contains daily appointment books which document Senator Stafford's activities. Each annual hardbound book contains detailed entries on Senator Stafford's day-to-day engagements. There are also files containing loose appointment books pages, some dated and others not. A majority of loose pages can be found in a separate folder according to the year they are from. The volumes are organized chronologically.

Series 6 is split into two subseries in order to preserve original order. The first subseries is arranged alphabetically. In the late 1990s, it appears that Senator Stafford's office changed the way it organized his correspondence. Subseries 2 reflects this change in organization. The researcher should also note that the files in Subseries 2 are arranged according to specific dates. It is possible that the switch came about when the Senator's staff switched to a new computerized form letter system that stored letters chronologically by their date of creation.
