Correspondence, reports, meeting agendas and minutes, and other distributed materials regarding various UUP committees that the president was a member of, or kept informed of the activities of; correspondence, reports, and materials distributed regarding projects (one-time and continuing) that UUP was involved in (such as the committees of UUP's AFT and NYSUT affiliates that UUP was represented on, conferences that UUP's president attended, and testimony given by UUP's president before various State Senate and Assembly committees); and correspondence, reports, and reference materials on topics in which UUP had a continuing interest (such as the proportion of the annual New York State budget allocated to SUNY, retirement benefits for SUNY employees, proposed legislation affecting SUNY and UUP's lobbying efforts, and the Public Employees Benefit Fund which provided benefits to members of UUP, NYSUT, and PEF [the Public Employees Federation]). There are numerous handwritten notes made by the president on various documents included in this series. Some of those notations, along with notes of his secretary, are purely administrative, i.e., confirming his attendance at a conference or meeting. However, some are more substantive, such as his notes from a particular meeting, his questions or thoughts noted on a report, his handwritten inquires to others involved in a project asking for elaboration on a particular issue or point, notes on meeting agendas regarding the actions taken, and draft correspondence.
