Files in this series reflect activities in the Cohen Senate office that do not directly relate to the legislative process or providing constituent service. Rather, they document routine tasks such as maintaining Cohen's daily, weekly, and monthly schedules; coordinating his travel arrangements; maintaining campaign files, biographical information, and correspondence; and generating financial disclosure and other required reports. Activities Cohen undertook in an official or political capacity are also documented here, and they include conferences he participated in, as well as his service on the Roosevelt Campobello International Park Commission from 1986-1993. The bulk of the papers in this category were created by Cynthia Waters, who was Cohen's personal secretary from 1978-1996.

The files are organized into seven subseries: a) general files, b) campaign records, c) personal correspondence, d) accepted invitations, e) schedules, f) travel records, and g) Roosevelt Campobello International Park Commission records.

Access to some of the files in this series is restricted. Consult the Cohen archivist for further information.
