In an announcement made last week President John Keiser said that Church's collection is 'one of the largest ever compiled by a U.S. senator, second only to Senator Hubert Humphrey's collection. The collection contains the personal correspondence, research materials and other documents compiled when he was chairman of the Special Committee on Aging and the Senate Foreign Relations committee. It also includes bound volumes, research materials, and' correspondence' from Church's work on intelligence agencies, wilderness areas, multinational corpo- rations; presidential powers, Vietnam, gun control and other issues. -r • His senate and presidential campaign documents, including videotape advertise- ments, are in the collection along with press releases, photograph files, and copies of most speeches Church has delivered.
