Catherine May was the United States Representative from
the Fourth Congressional District of Washington, between 1959 and 1970. The
collection consists of those papers generated and received by the office of
Representative May during her six terms in the United States Congress.
Collection materials are inEnglish
Catherine May was born Catherine Dean Barnes at Yakima, Washington, in 1914.
Graduating from Yakima High School in 1932, she attended Yakima Valley Junior
College through 1934, and then received the Bachelor of Science degree in 1936 and
the Fifth Year Education Certificate from the University of Washington in 1937. From
1937 through 1940, she taught English in the Chehalis High School, interrupting this
tenure for a brief period in 1939 to study speech at the University of Southern
California.
At the close of the school year in 1940, Mrs. May entered into a career in radio
journalism and advertising, first with station KMO in Tacoma, and later stations
KOMO and KJR in Seattle. From 1942 to 1944, she worked in advertising for Strange
and Prosser Advertising Agency and the Federal Insurance Company, both of Seattle.
She was in New York City 1944-1946 in the employment of the National Broadcasting
Company. Following this, Mrs. May returned to Washington State, continuing in radio
journalism at station KIT in Yakima through 1957.
Catherine May entered politics actively when she was a candidate and elected to the
Washington State House of Representatives in 1952, representing a Yakima district.
Re-elected twice, she remained a member of the state legislature until 1958, when
she secured the Republican nomination to succeed retiring Republican Congressman,
Otis Halbert Holmes. She was elected to the United States Congress six times and
served until 1970 when she was succeeded by Democrat, Mike McCormack. Upon leaving
Congress, she was appointed one of the Federal government trustees of the
quasi-public National Railroad Passenger Corporation (AMTRAK). In May of 1971,
President Richard Nixon appointed her a member and Chairman of United States Tariff
Commission.
When Catherine May entered the United States Congress in early 1959, she was the
first woman Representative from the State of Washington. Also, she was the first
Representative from the State of Washington in quite a few years to be appointed to
the Committee on Agriculture, an assignment that is highly desired by
Representatives from Washington State. Mrs. May held this Agriculture Committee
assignment during her entire tenure in Congress. Work in this committee, and her
efforts on behalf of her constituents, occupied the center of attention throughout
her congressional career. Partially due to this concern with agricultural policy,
May was selected as a Congressional member of the National Commission on Food
Marketing, one of the numerous "study commissions" of the 1960’s. During her last
term in office, she received a second committee assignment, the Joint committee on
Atomic Energy. She was, lastly, a member of the somewhat ephemeral but nevertheless
interesting, House Beauty Parlor Committee.
Although Representative May’s attention centered on her committee and constituent
work, her career was not dominated by either of these. Like most members of Congress
in the 1960’s, she was involved in almost every major public issue of the time. Her
papers reveal significant interests in consumer affairs, the "hunger" and poverty
issues, transportation policy, drugs, minority relations, and, on occasion, foreign
affairs. The return of a Republican administration to power in the 1968 election
increased May’s contact and concern with the whole range of governmental and public
affairs. She was one of the congressional leaders that supported the administration.
She was apparently considered for the post of Secretary of Agriculture at the time
the Nixon Administration was organized. After leaving Congress, she continued to
receive significant appointments, including United States Tariff Commissioner, a
position of importance to the economic issues of the early 1970’s.
The collection consists of those papers generated and received by the office of
Representative May during her six terms in the United States Congress. The content
of the collection amply documents the wide arrange of legislative matters
confronting the Congress during the 1960’s. Indeed, the Catherine May Papers contain
materials relevant to almost every public issue of that period.
The great value of this collection to scholarship may be described under three
general subjects:
The first, and the largest, concerns political affairs of the Fourth Congressional
District, including personalities, events, constituent services, interests, and
opinions. Of special value are those papers concerned with Federal government
operations in the Fourth District and those concerned with public opinion;
The second area of importance and value concerns Republican Party politics diffused
throughout the collection. Those parties that concern the years of Republican Party
control of Congress are rich;
The third area, one most clearly demarcated in the collection, concerns agriculture
policy and politics. The agricultural emphasis is due to Mrs. May’s committee
assignment, as well as her personal interests and the interest of her constituents
in the principally agricultural Fourth District.
The original arrangement of this collection was simplified but altered very slightly.
A sizable bulk of published material was removed and transferred to other divisions
of the library. Tearsheets of the Congressional Record were discarded unless germane
to other material at hand. Duplicate items were removed. Files of redundant
material, requests for the Agricultural Yearbook, for example, were sampled and only
10-15% retained. An exception to this practice was made in the case of constituent
letter-writing campaigns. These materials were retained intact.
The collection is arranged into nine series, retaining the original office
arrangement. Two series, Invitations and National Commission o Food Marketing, were
established by removal or separation from earlier filing in the main "subject"
series. Within the series, the arrangement is chronological, based on the periodic
closing of the files, and each sub-series is alphabetical.
Correspondence will generally be found in the front of a folder, arranged
alphabetically by correspondent, with extended exchanges filed together. Original
and copies of items relevant to two or more subjects are often filed under each
pertinent entry.
Selected images and documents from this collection have been digitized and can be found online in the
Catherine May Congressional Papers Digital Collection.
This collection is open and available for research use.
Copyright restrictions may apply.

INDEX
The index that follows provides a comprehensive finding aid that locates all
materials pertaining to a given subject even though these may be scattered by the
arrangement of the collection. It is an index of the folder inventory, uniting in
one alphabet all series and sub-series, a method and procedure that appears to be
superior in improving the efficiency of searching in a collection of this magnitude
and diversity. While the entries are based on folder headings, these entries have
been generalized or made comprehensive to provide a single indexing term that
embraces homogeneous and related information. The arrangement is word by word,
disregarding initial articles. The numbers accompanying the entries are citations to
numbered containers where the information may be found.
Using the index is uncomplicated. A searcher interested in Congressional concern of
food and drug legislation is directed to the entry
Drug legislation 184, 274, 427
see also Meat inspection
If the searcher then refers to the Series Description (page 9), he/she will see that
container 184 is in the 1966 sub-series and that information regarding food and drug
legislation continues in additional folders in 1968 (container 274) and 1970
(container 427). Examination of container 184 produces a folder labeled Bills - H.
Con. res. 1046 - Sense of Congress-regulation of food and drug labeling, diet foods.
Examination of the cross reference Meat inspection produces a quantity of items in
container 221 regarding regulation of state meat inspection systems, in a folder
labeled Agriculture - Meat Inspection, 1967.
Finally, if this searcher is knowledgeable regarding government agencies, he/she will
pursue further information in those citations following Food and Drug
Administration.
