Carl Albert Center

The Carl Albert Congressional Research and Studies Center (commonly known as the Carl Albert Center) is a nonpartisan institution at the University of Oklahoma in Norman, Oklahoma established for researching the United States Congress and, more generally, issues related to representative democracy and citizenship. It is named for Carl Albert, a University of Oklahoma alumnus and the 46th Speaker of the United States House of Representatives.〔 The current director is Cindy Rosenthal, who is also the Mayor of Norman.〔
==History==
The Carl Albert Center was founded by the University of Oklahoma's Board of Regents and the Oklahoma Regents for Higher Education in 1979 with both state and private funds.〔 The Center's early federal funding proved to be controversial, as a "yearlong battle" occurred in Congress before it approved a $2-million appropriation in 1982. Of the eight members in Oklahoma's congressional delegation that year, seven supported federal funding for the Carl Albert Center, with only Don Nickles opposing it.〔 Nickles argued that the "Senate won't buy" the idea of federal funding for the Center, while Dave McCurdy (one of the seven in support) termed Nickles' opposition "unfortunate" and contended that the institution was "good for the University of Oklahoma" and "of national importance".〔 In 1982, the Center contained 40 sets of congressional papers, 36 of which were from Oklahomans; however, a number of Oklahoma lawmakers wanted it to eventually become, in the words of journalist Denise Gamino, "the premier national repository for congressional papers".〔 By 1989, the number of collections held at the Carl Albert Center had grown to 50, while the Center was selected as one of three host institutions for the National Historical Publications and Records Commission's Andrew W. Mellon Foundation-funded 1989-90 Fellowship Program.
