The bulk of the collection spans the years 1986-1990, covering primarily the years Angelo was on the staff of Rep. Conte. Because Angelo's work with Rep. Conte involved the needs of small businesses, it is a convenient resource for Congressional materials relating to small business legislation. This collection includes correspondence between congressional staffers, between small business owners and Rep. Conte's office and the Department of Defense; Congressional publications; and outlines of bills, proposed bills, and acts. The collection provides an overview of Rep. Conte's work with and for small businesses, as well as Angelo's contributions to the Small Business Act.
