Note

was educated at St. Ann's Academy and attended State College of Iowa, Grand

Korean War. Employed as a technician by Bell Telephone, Gallagher lives with
his family on fifty acres near Jesup, Iowa. He was twice elected,
as a Democrat, to Iowa's House of Representatives. In 1973, Gallagher was

until 1985. He was chairman of the Senate Energy Committee and also was on

Scope
and Contents
The
papers of James V. Gallagher are made up of twenty-six boxes (13 linear feet)
of manuscripts dating from 1964 to 1984. Mr. Gallagher gave his papers to
the University of Iowa Libraries in periodic installments over a decade beginning
in 1975. Arranged chronologically within an alphabetical sequence, each new
addition is organized as an individual unit. Subject files and correspondence
make up the bulk of Gallagher's papers. The correspondence includes letters
from: Dick Clark, John Culver, Charles Grassley, Tom Harkin, Harold Hughes,
Jim Leach, Ed Mezvinsky, Arthur Neu, Robert D. Ray, Neal Smith, and Lewis
Warren. The subject folders cover topics ranging from apportionment to conservation,
abortion to busing, and the bottle bill to the coal project. Gallagher's work
on the Energy committee is well documented with minutes, reports, and correspondence,
as is his involvement with the Iowa Energy Policy Council. The collection
also contains material relating to the Democratic Party.
