Biographical NoteReturn to Top

Michael E. Lowry, commonly known as Mike, served in local, state, and national government during his public career.

Born in 1939 in Eastern Washington, Lowry attended public schools in Endicott and graduated from Washington State University in 1962. After working as the chief fiscal analyst and staff director for the Washington State Legislature’s Senate Ways and Means Committee in 1969-1973, Lowry was the governmental affairs director for the Puget Sound Group Health Cooperative in1974-1975 and served on the King County Council in 1975-1978, chairing it in 1977.

In 1978 he won a seat in Congress over conservative incumbent Republican Jack Cunningham in the overwhelmingly Democratic 7th Congressional District, which includes the city of Seattle and its southern suburbs. The 7th District's population was mainly Caucasian but also included Seattle’s African American and Japanese American communities, as well as a growing population of Asian immigrants.

After Senator Henry M. Jackson’s sudden death in 1983, Lowry defeated the former mayor of Seattle, Charles Royer, in the Democratic primary for senator. Although he was unsuccessful in the general election against former governor Daniel Evans, who had been appointed to fill Jackson’s vacant seat, Lowry did win 45% of the vote.

Lowry opposed many policies of the Reagan administration, as cuts in social programs adversely affected many of his constituents in the central area of Seattle. He was an ardent opponent of aid to the Contras in Nicaragua and other aspects of Reagan’s Latin America policy. He championed reparations for Japanese Americans incarcerated during World War II and environmental measures, such as the Washington Wilderness bill. Lowry’s voting record reflected his activist and liberal stance in the House.

Lowry served on the House Budget Committee, and by his last year in Congress was the third-ranking Democrat. On the Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee, he chaired the Panama Canal and Outer Shelf Subcommittee, and the Oceanography Subcommittee.

Re-elected four times to Congress, Lowry made another run for the U.S. Senate in 1988. He defeated Washington State Senator Jim McDermott in the primary but lost in the general election to former State Attorney General Slade Gorton. In 1992 Lowry was elected governor of Washington State and served through 1996. Records documenting his years as governor are held by the Washington State Archives, Olympia, Washington.

In his retirement from public life, Lowry taught at Seattle University’s Institute for Public Service and joined with his former opponent Dan Evans to promote the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Coalition. He also ran two nonprofit foundations that encouraged citizen participation in government and addressed needs of the working poor.

Content DescriptionReturn to Top

Lowry’s congressional papers document his activities, such as his service on the Oceanography Subcommittee of the House Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee, and reflect his major interests and concerns, such as energy, defense, the environment, health, and American Indian affairs. VIP correspondence contains the views of Lowry and other members of Congress on the Reagan administration's policy on Central America as well as other issues. Also included in the papers are constituent and outgoing letters, campaigns records from Lowry's run for the Senate in 1983 and 1988, mass mailings (including newsletters), news releases, clippings, and audio and videocassettes.

Much of Lowry's outgoing correspondence to constituents is in the form of Robos. Robos were automated responses to large volumes of constituent mail. The Robos are filed by number. Lowry’s office created two different Robo numbering schemes during his tenure, one for 1979-1983 and the other for 1983-1988. A numeric index is filed at the beginning of each scheme. Attached to each Robo is an automated report showing when the Robo was created, last updated, and last used, along with any related constituent mail topic codes. In some cases, it is possible to connect incoming letters to particular Robos via the topic codes for incoming constituent mail.

Gift of Mike Lowry, January 1989.

Processing Note

Processing was completed in December 2004 by Karyl Winn, Megan Carlisle, Chris Carlin, Kathleen Crosman, and Leslie Steinman. In order to make the papers accessible within a relatively short time, scattered files were brought together but not always re-alphabetized. Rather, folder headings were clarified as necessary and left in the order in which they were found. Several boxes of additional files were found among constituent mail after processing to file folder level . This additonal material was placed as close to corresponding series as was possible at that point.

The collection was also appraised to remove duplicate, redundant, routine, or nonsubstantive records. Lowry’s schedules were kept but invitations were destroyed. Because mail from constituents was both voluminous and homogeneous, staff sought to preserve representative examples. Consituent mail was almost always sampled by date if its bulk exceeded one inch. A record of the action is recorded inside the sampled file. Approximately 50 cubic feet of uncoded incoming letters were not retained. Routine administrative mail was generally discarded, although exceptional items were retained (requests for assistance that were not casework but were handled in the same way, letters from VIPs, unique items, etc.). Issue files and correspondence files on topics thought highly important to Lowry’s service or to the 7th Congressional District were retained intact.

Photographs, negatives, and slides were relocated to the Mike Lowry Photograph Collection, Photo Accession No. 2005-040, in the repository in 2005.

Detailed Description of the CollectionReturn to Top

 

The following section contains a detailed listing of the materials in the collection.

Washington, D. C. OfficeReturn to Top

Lowry's Washington, D.C. Office records include committee files from his service on the Oceanography Subcommittee of the House Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee, issue files, correspondence, mass mailings (including newsletters), news releases, clippings, and sound and videocassettes.

Issue files were created by Lowry’s legislative aides and include files concerning legislation and topics of concern to Lowry and his Seattle constituents. Major issues include defense, energy (including the Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act of 1980), environmental issues, health issues (including information about the Public Health Service Hospital in Seattle and the AIDS crisis), and American Indian affairs. There are also issue files concerning redress for Japanese Americans who had been incarcerated during World War II.

Lowry’s strong opposition to the Reagan administration’s policy on Central America can be found in joint letters sent by Lowry and other members of Congress in the VIP correspondence, as well as in Lowry's outgoing letters. Other VIP correspondence is mostly incoming from federal agency heads, fellow members expressing thanks for support on legislation, and representatives of foreign countries, including Nicaragua, Chile, and the U.S.S.R.

Incoming mail from constituents is filed first by date then topically, following a numeric coding scheme. When one letter concerned multiple topics, multiple codes were assigned, but the letter was filed by the first code. Early in Lowry’s tenure the codes changed yearly, but starting in 1983 the majority of codes were retained from year to year. Most of the codes were for fairly specific topics, but there were two generic codes as well. “General” was used for opinions on broad topics, such as civil rights; additional codes were used within the overall topic for more specific issues, such as gay rights or race discrimination. “Unclassified” was used in two ways. Used within an overall topic, it indicated miscellaneous letters. As its own broad topic, it was used to isolate certain types of opinion mail (liberal or conservative, pro- or anti-Lowry, anti-Semitic, racist, etc.). The bulk of constituent correspondence is from 1981 to 1988. Drafts or copies of outgoing letters were attached to many incoming letters in 1981 but not for later years.
