He was elected Minority Leader in 1966, a position\n he held until 1972 when he was elected to the 92nd U.S.\n Congress from the 6th District of Virginia. Butler served the\n 6th District for a decade. While serving on the Judiciary\n Committee, Butler participated in the impeachment action\n against President Richard M.

Ford and Nelson\n Rockefeller to serve as President and Vice President\n respectively. Butler was a principal architect of the\n Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978.

The papers are divided\n into seventeen series: June Nolde Butler papers; correspondence and subject files; military service; appointment calendars; campaigns; scrapbooks, clippings and photos; speeches; newsletters, press\n releases, radio reports and weekly reports; voting record;\n constituency correspondence; confirmation of Gerald R.
