This series documents the efforts of Cohen's press secretaries to communicate effectively with constituents about Cohen via television, radio, newspapers, and mailings. Cohen's press secretaries were Mark Haroff, 1973; Richard Fallon, 1974-1975; and Thomas Bright, 1976-1979. Records include newsletters, press releases, special mailings, speeches, and radio scripts. Some bound copies of articles by and about Cohen which span his service in both the House and the Senate have been filed with Cohen's U.S. Senate press records. Photographs and audiovisual materials were also used to communicate information about Cohen, and they will be processed in the year 2000 and filed in separate series.

Records in this series are divided into three subseries: a) Maine news clippings, b) press releases, and c) speech files.
