New Web Site: Robert H. Michel, U.S. Congressman -- http://www.robertmichel.name The Dirksen Congressional Center has created a site devoted to Robert Henry "Bob" Michel, a Republican representing central Illinois’s 18th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives for 38 years.?He served as Minority Whip (1975-1981) and Minority Leader (1981-1995) during an era of Democratic Party House dominance. At this site you will learn about Michel and his leadership, read quotations, see photos, watch videos, and search the Robert H. Michel Collection, first acquired by The Center in 1989 and supplemented over the years. Among the special features of the site are digital selections from Michel’s "Presidential Scrapbooks" in which he kept selected photographs and correspondence from each of the nine presidents with whom he served. We have also transcribed and posted to the site the notes Michel kept of congressional leadership meetings in the White House.
