Scope and Contents

From the Series: The material for 1974 is limited. There is no business correspondence and only 1 family item. The congressional corresondence is also sparee but repeating many of the former themes--birthday greeting thank you's for small favors and notes from participants in the Senate Prayer Breakfast Group. 1974 was the year in which Bennett left the Senate and the hotly contested race to fill his seat took place between Mayor Jake Garn of Salt Lake City and Congressman Wayne Owens. There is almost no material about either his retirement or the race. The 1976 material consists of some newsclippings featuring Bennett's son Robert. It was not part of the original collection, but was included because its amplifys 1972 material having to do with his role in the Watergate break-in.
