A series of subject files comprising letters and printed matter regarding overseas voting and citizenship rights is retained. An extensive series of case files for the Aldo Bellei Case is preserved. That particular legal case focused on the debate about the number of years American children born in Europe had to live in the United States to maintain their American citizenship.
