A statement, annotated by Jack Brooks, discussing the problems associated with two year terms for Representatives in Congress. It proposes a four year term instead. Due to congressional redistricting caused by the 1965 Martin v. Bush Supreme Court ruling, Brooks went from representing 416,000 people in the 2nd district to representing 457,000 people in the 9th district. He explicitly references this change in an annotation next to a paragraph regarding the increased responsibilities of Representatives due to population growth.

A draft of a constituent survey commissioned by Jack Brooks during the 1968 election in order to better understand the needs of voters in the 9th district. Brooks's original district, the 2nd district, was redistricted into the 9th district in 1966 after the Supreme Court ruled in Wesbery v. Sanders that Congressional districts had to be close to equal in population. Brooks lost 8 out of the 9 east Texas counties he originally represented in this redistricting. In the 1966 election in the 2nd district, Brooks ran unopposed and won. In the 1968 election in the new 9th district, he ran against Henry Charles Pressler, and won with 60.9% of the vote. This draft includes a name recognition question where, according to the script, the pollster pretends to 'forget' the name of Brooks in order to judge whether or not the constituent knows that Brooks is their Representative.
