This series (Boxes 1-63) contains materials gathered by Frank Wheat for his book, California Desert Miracle, chronicling the history of the California Desert Protection Act as well as materials from many environmental organizations on a wide assortment of environmental subjects beyond the realm of the book. The Government Series is divided into three sub-series: Environmental Activities, Non- environmental Activities and the Legal Profession. The Environmental and Non- Environmental sub-series break down into segments focused upon federal and state governments. Materials related to various executive departments are followed by correspondence with state and federal legislators and finally by files related to specific legislation. The Legal Profession section is divided into Organizations, Overview and Professional Engagements. The Overview portion consists primarily of forms and examples of legal documents. "Professional Engagements" includes documents concerning seminars, conferences and meetings where a topic of interest is featured, usually in the form of an address or speech by Wheat. All are arranged alphabetically by topic, organization or format. Organizations are arranged alphabetically by title.

The papers of former Los Angeles County district attorney Gil Garcetti (1941-) includes mainly records that document his managerial and campaign activities in the nation's largest local prosecutorial office. The bulk of the papers contain administrative files created during Garcetti's tenure as district attorney from 1992 to 2000. These files consist of correspondence, budget, statistics, speeches, notes, press releases, schedule and calendars, recommendations, reports, and photographs. Many of these documents reflect Garcetti's focus on prosecution of domestic violence, fraud, gang violence, and child-support violations, as well as on crime prevention initiatives, such as Strategy Against Gang Environments program (SAGE) and SAFE WAY OUT family violence hotline. Another significant part of the Garcetti papers is his campaign files from the Los Angeles County district attorney elections in 1992, 1996, and 2000, which include bills, research, polls, debate notes, ephemera, and press clippings. The papers also contain case files, DDA interview notes, and reports from 1984 to 1991, during which Garcetti served as district attorney Ira Reiner's chief deputy and subsequently head deputy of the Torrance branch. The rest of the papers include audiovisual materials, awards, and memorabilia.
