Abstract: |
These records document
the work of the Texas Cancer Council, created to implement the Texas Cancer
Plan, which has four objectives: to increase awareness of prevention programs
that may help lower the risk of developing cancer; to promote the early
detection and diagnosis of cancer; to improve the accessibility, availability,
and quality of treatment resources, services, and programs throughout the
state; and to advance development and application of new prevention, detection,
diagnostic, and therapeutic methods and techniques. These records consist of
minutes and agenda, organizational charts, committee files (concerning program
development and project review), advisory committee files, administrative
correspondence (of the board, the executive director, and the Attorney
General), agency policies and procedures manuals, news releases and brochures,
speeches, and program/project historical books, dating 1984-2008. The
Legislative Task Force on Cancer in Texas created the records dating 1984.
Records dating 1985-2008 are from the Texas Cancer Council. |

The Texas Cancer Council was created in 1985 (Senate Bill 53, 69th
Legislature, Regular Session) to implement the Texas Cancer Plan, developed in
conjunction with the Legislative Task Force on Cancer in Texas, that had been
formed in 1984. The Texas Cancer Plan is a comprehensive, long-range strategy
for supporting and coordinating public, private, and volunteer efforts to
lessen the burdens of cancer in the state. Originally, the Cancer Council was
mandated to cooperate and coordinate with the Legislative Task Force on Cancer
in Texas, so long as that body existed (formed in 1984, it published its final
report in 1986). The Cancer Council would then continue to revise and implement
the Cancer Plan.
The Texas Cancer Plan has four objectives: to increase awareness of
prevention programs that may help lower the risk of developing cancer; to
promote the early detection and diagnosis of cancer; to improve the
accessibility, availability, and quality of treatment resources, services, and
programs throughout the state; and to advance development and application of
new prevention, detection, diagnostic, and therapeutic methods and
techniques.
The council has initiated various statewide programs and services that
address the goals of the Texas Cancer Plan. The Physician Oncology Education
Program conducts continuing medical education in five specialty areas for
practicing primary care physicians. The Nurse Oncology Education Program offers
continuing education programs for practicing nurses and works with the state's
64 nursing schools to improve education in oncology nursing. The Texas School
Health Initiative provides training to a broad range of school personnel
through 20 regional school health specialists, with emphasis on such
cancer-related topics as proper nutrition and avoidance of tobacco use. The
Texas Cancer Data Center, at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer
Center in Houston, serves as a clearinghouse for information about cancer
demographics, services, programs, and care providers in Texas; this Center
maintains the web site that is shared by the Texas Cancer Council.
By law (V.T.C.A., Health and Safety Code, Section 102.009(b)(2)) the
Cancer Council may appoint advisory committees to aid in the implementation of
the Cancer Plan. So far there have been nine such advisory committees, falling
into two groups: (1) the original group of five committees -- Community Cancer
Care, Oncology Guidelines, Professional Education, Public Education, and
Private Sector Initiatives; and (2) the current group of four committees --
Community Cancer Control, Detection and Diagnosis, Prevention, and
Treatment.
The Cancer Council conducts studies and surveys deemed necessary for
the implementation of the Cancer Plan. And finally, the council monitors
contracts and agreements for cancer programs authorized by law, accepts
transfers of monies, and spends grant funds made available by the state and by
other public or private sources. To administer this grant program, the council
adopts rules governing the submission and approval or cancellation of grants,
which require interagency agreements or contracts with the council, including
provisions for fiscal and program monitoring.
The Texas Cancer Council is composed of sixteen members: three
physicians active in cancer treatment, one each appointed by the governor,
lieutenant governor, and the speaker of the House; three representatives of
voluntary health organizations interested in cancer, one each appointed as
above; three representatives of licensed health care facilities that treats a
significant number of cancer patients, one each appointed as above; three
licensed health care professionals (other than physicians) active in the
treatment or control of cancer; three members of the general public, one each
appointed as above; the chair of the Texas Board of Health, or a designee
(currently the Deputy Commissioner for Programs, Department of State Health
Services) (ex-officio, non-voting). The law encourages the inclusion of cancer
survivors and family members of cancer patients. (House Bill 1033, 76th Texas
Legislature, 1999)
Between 1991 and 1999, the composition of the council was slightly
different: the number of members was also 16, but instead of three licensed
health care professionals, the council consisted of one state representative,
appointed by the speaker of the House; one state senator, appointed by the
lieutenant governor; and the chair of the Texas Board of Human Services, or a
designee (ex-officio). Otherwise the membership was the same. (House Bill 7,
72nd Texas Legislature, 1st Called Session, 1991)
Between 1985 and 1991, the composition of the council was also
slightly different: the number of members was also 16, but the governor
appointed no members; instead, the speaker and the lieutenant governor each
appointed two physicians, and two members of the general public. Otherwise the
membership was the same as between 1991-1999. (Senate Bill 53, 69th Texas
Legislature, Regular Session, 1985)
Except for the ex-officio member, council members serve overlapping
six-year terms. These are non-salaried positions, and the governor (originally
the speaker of the House) designates the chair. The council hires an executive
director. The Texas Cancer Council currently has a staff of eight full-time
equivalent employees.
In 2007, the Texas Legislature passed a joint resolution
"proposing a constitutional amendment providing for
the establishment of the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas and
authorizing the issuance of general obligation bonds for the purpose of
scientific research of all forms of human cancer" (House Joint Resolution
90, 80th Texas Legislature, Regular Session). The passage of both the
constitutional amendment and the approval of the bonds meant that the Texas
Cancer Council would be absorbed by the Cancer Prevention and Research
Institute of Texas. House Bill 14 (80th Texas Legislature, Regular Session,
2007) created the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas Oversight
Committee to be the governing body of the institute. It will consist of eleven
members: three appointed by the governor, three appointed by the lieutenant
governor, three appointed by the speaker of the House, plus the attorney
general and the comptroller (or their designees). The appointed members were to
include cancer survivors and family members of cancer patients, if possible.

Texas State Archives staff completed an appraisal of the Texas Cancer
Council in June 1999. (This appraisal report is online at
http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/arc/appraisal/cancercouncil.html.)
Fourteen series on the agency’s retention schedule were determined to be
archival: Appointment documentation to Texas Cancer Council (TCC) Board,
Appropriations requests and supporting documentation, Meeting agenda and
minutes (previously two series), Board meetings--supporting documentation,
Organizational charts, Letters/Memorandum of Understanding with the Department
of Health, Advisory committees, Correspondence--administrative, News releases,
Agency policies and procedures, Speeches, Strategic plans, Historical books,
Publications in lieu of biennial report.
Program/project historical books are an archival series listed above
whose originals will be kept at the agency, and copies are sent to the State
Archives, as confirmed July 11, 2007.
The archival requirement for the biennial budget requests, strategic
plans, and publications in lieu of biennial report, is fulfilled by sending
copies to the State Publications Depository Program of the Texas State Library
and Archives Commission. The archival requirement for Program/project
historical books is fulfilled by sending copies to the Archives and Information
Services of the Texas State Library and Archives Commission.
Records are regularly transferred to the State Archives, and are added
to the finding aid on an annual basis.
The Texas Cancer Council periodically mounts the recent minutes of the
Texas Cancer Council (in pdf format and also in rtf format) on the agency web
site
(http://www.tcc.state.tx.us/tccminutes.html).
As of February 2008, this includes minutes from Council meetings dating August
1999-August 2007.
The record copies of minutes and agenda are maintained by the Texas
Cancer Council.

Minutes and agenda,
1985-2008,
1.75 cubic ft. |
|
These records document the work of the Texas Cancer Council,
created to implement the Texas Cancer Plan, which has four objectives: to
increase awareness of prevention programs that may help lower the risk of
developing cancer; to promote the early detection and diagnosis of cancer; to
improve the accessibility, availability, and quality of treatment resources,
services, and programs throughout the state; and to advance development and
application of new prevention, detection, diagnostic, and therapeutic methods
and techniques. Minutes are created to document in a thorough but usually
summary fashion the official actions of the 16-member board in its meetings.
Public agenda inform the public as to what will be discussed and/or decided at
each board meeting. These records consist of minutes and agenda of meetings of
the Texas Cancer Council, dated 1985-2008. The minutes contain summaries of the
discussions and actions of the Council at their regularly scheduled meetings,
usually held quarterly. These discussions and actions include the following:
project funding requests and decisions (by far the most voluminous item in each
set of minutes); the Executive Director's report; proposal, amendment, and
adoption of rules; review and adoption of legislative appropriation requests
(LARs), as well as operating budgets; elections of board officers; adoption and
revision of the Texas Cancer Plan, and the Texas Breast and Cervical Cancer
Plan; strategic planning efforts; updates on legislative issues; and
miscellaneous other reports (e.g., report on meeting with medical school deans,
report on Cancer Incidence Reporting System, Oncology Guidelines revision, the
Merkel Journalism Awards report). Also included are minutes and agenda of the
Contract Management Committee, and the Planning and Program Development
Committee, beginning November 1996; and of the Executive Committee, beginning
April 1987. (The earliest records, Texas Cancer Council meetings files,
November 14, 1985 thru May 7, 1987, are located within the records of the
Legislative Task Force on Cancer in Texas.) |

The Texas Cancer Council was created to implement the Texas Cancer
Plan, which has four objectives: to increase awareness of prevention programs
that may help lower the risk of developing cancer; to promote the early
detection and diagnosis of cancer; to improve the accessibility, availability,
and quality of treatment resources, services, and programs throughout the
state; and to advance development and application of new prevention, detection,
diagnostic, and therapeutic methods and techniques. The purpose of
organizational charts is to indicate agency staff organization in a graphic
format. These records consist of copies of organization charts, staff lists,
and personnel position descriptions/explanations of administrative
responsibilities for the Texas Cancer Council, dated August 1988 through
November 1995. Names of staff members holding each position are also included
on many of the organizational charts. Organizational charts are also included
in the 1993 report to the Governor and Legislature, and in each Strategic Plan,
1992-1998 (usually without names of staff); all of these publications are found
in the Texas Documents Collection. |

Committee files (Program Development and Project Review),
1991-1993,
fractional |
|
These records document the work of two committees of the Texas
Cancer Council, created to implement the Texas Cancer Plan, which has four
objectives: to increase awareness of prevention programs that may help lower
the risk of developing cancer; to promote the early detection and diagnosis of
cancer; to improve the accessibility, availability, and quality of treatment
resources, services, and programs throughout the state; and to advance
development and application of new prevention, detection, diagnostic, and
therapeutic methods and techniques. These records were created during the
course of business conducted by two former committees of the Texas Cancer
Council, concerning the development of programs and the review of projects for
funding. The records include agenda and items for discussion/background
materials, highlights of discussion/summaries of meetings, and related
correspondence and memoranda, dating 1991-1993. They constitute the files of
two committees of the Texas Cancer Council: the Program Development Committee,
1991-1992; and the Project Review Committee, 1992-1993. The highlights of
discussion or summaries of meetings are apparently in lieu of minutes. The
memoranda are mainly from the executive director to the members of the
committee. |
|
Researchers should also consult the files of the Contract
Management Committee and the Planning and Program Development Committee,
1996-1999, that are filed with the series Minutes and
agenda. |
|
The Program Development Committee and the Project Review Committee
have not been in existence since 1993, but the current Contract Management
Committee and Planning and Program Development Committee may have assumed their
functions. These are subcommittees of the board of the Cancer Council, and make
recommendations to the full Council on specific issues. They should not be
confused with the numerous Advisory Committees. |

These records are created during the course of business conducted
by the various advisory committees of the Texas Cancer Council, particularly
the review of proposals for funding. The Texas Cancer Council was created to
implement the Texas Cancer Plan, which has four objectives: to increase
awareness of prevention programs that may help lower the risk of developing
cancer; to promote the early detection and diagnosis of cancer; to improve the
accessibility, availability, and quality of treatment resources, services, and
programs throughout the state; and to advance development and application of
new prevention, detection, diagnostic, and therapeutic methods and techniques.
These records consist of correspondence, memoranda, membership lists, proposal
reviews/assessment reports on proposals for funding, minutes, annual advisory
committee reports, and other documents relating to the work of advisory
committees of the Texas Cancer Council, dating 1987-1990, and 1992, bulk
1987-1990. The nine advisory committees for which there are records fall into
two groups, and include the following: (1) Community Cancer Care, Oncology
Guidelines, Professional Education, Public Education, and Private Sector
Initiatives; and (2) Community Cancer Control, Detection and Diagnosis,
Prevention, and Treatment. |
|
One set of files contains a variety of documents concerning five
of the earlier advisory committees (Community Cancer Care, Oncology Guidelines,
Professional Education, Public Education, and Private Sector Initiatives),
dating 1987-1990. These documents include the following: correspondence
(especially between the Executive Director of the Cancer Council and the
members of the various advisory committees), some (but apparently not all)
minutes of meetings of the advisory committees, individual assessment reports
on proposals for funding, annual advisory committee reports, lists of names and
addresses of advisory committee members, information sheets on each of the
original six advisory committees (including role/objective, frequency of
meetings, and a list of members), and other attachments (e.g., organization
charts and the constitution and by-laws of the Texas Health Foundation). |
|
A sixth folder contains documents concerning the four later
advisory committees (Community Cancer Control, Detection and Diagnosis,
Prevention, and Treatment). This much smaller group of files date 1990 and
1992. These documents include the following: lists of members, and memoranda
concerning proposals for Texas Cancer Council funding addressed to members of
advisory committees for their review and comment, from either the executive
director or the program services manager of the Texas Cancer Council. These
latter memos typically include a list of the proposals with their
authors/originators, a list of enclosures, and a timeline or schedule of
deadlines. The proposals themselves are not included, nor are enclosures
concerning those proposals. Examples of proposals under review are
"Rural Community Cancer Services" (from the
Center for Rural Health Initiative); "Cancer
Prevention in African American Males" (from Texas Southern University);
"Smokeless Tobacco Use by Adolescent Males"
(from the Allan Shivers Radiation Therapy Center). Also included are memoranda
concerning review procedures. |

items, mainly concerning substantive issues (such as public education,
outreach, funding, legislation, professional conferences, a report of the Texas
Health Policy Task Force, State Legalization Impact Assistance Grant [SLIAG]
matters, etc.), but occasionally on general topics (such as letters of
appreciation and support, follow-ups on visits, etc.). |
|
Attorney General correspondence, 1991 and 1993, consists of
correspondence and memoranda between the Attorney General's office and the
Executive Director of the Texas Cancer Council. It concerns mainly substantive
issues, such as the following: interagency contracts, employment of outside
legal counsel, a plan for consolidation of legal services programs of certain
state agencies, the procedure for requesting representation from the Attorney
General's office, and state employees workers compensation rule changes, etc.

The Texas Cancer Council was created to implement the Texas Cancer
Plan, which has four objectives: to increase awareness of prevention programs
that may help lower the risk of developing cancer; to promote the early
detection and diagnosis of cancer; to improve the accessibility, availability,
and quality of treatment resources, services, and programs throughout the
state; and to advance development and application of new prevention, detection,
diagnostic, and therapeutic methods and techniques. These records are created
partly as a result of the rulemaking process. The rules and regulations are
proposed and adopted by the Cancer Council according to the requirements of the
Texas Administrative Procedures Act. These manuals are created primarily to
explain policies and procedures established by the Texas Cancer Council to
interested parties, including contracting entities, and staff members, and to
guide those persons through the process. These records consist of superseded
procedures manuals developed by the Texas Cancer Council (manuals on
administrative procedures, and a manual of policies and procedures for
performing agencies), dating 1994-1996 and 2000. Personnel manuals are not
included. The six manuals on administrative procedures (1994-1995 and 2000)
typically include the following sections: general, fiscal procedures,
publication procedures (as of October 1995), review of funding proposal, and
contract process after board approval. The two manuals of policies and
procedures for performing agencies (1994 and 1996) include some or all of the
following sections: compensation and payment, records retention, budget
changes, funding adjustments and contract amendments, project income, audit
requirements, property and supplies, subcontracts, reports, on-site monitoring,
sanctions, copyrights, publications, funding acknowledgement and logo usage,
confidential records, nondiscrimination, indemnification of the Texas Cancer
Council, and contract termination. |

The Texas Cancer Council was created to implement the Texas Cancer
Plan, which has four objectives: to increase awareness of prevention programs
that may help lower the risk of developing cancer; to promote the early
detection and diagnosis of cancer; to improve the accessibility, availability,
and quality of treatment resources, services, and programs throughout the
state; and to advance development and application of new prevention, detection,
diagnostic, and therapeutic methods and techniques. Speeches are created to
inform and educate interested organizations as to the work of the Texas Cancer
Council. Like the series News releases, speeches
document the outreach function of the agency, but for a different, more
focused, target population, such as organizations involved in cancer research
and education. These records consist of the texts of speeches, plus related
documents like cover letters and agenda, given mainly by the executive director
of the Texas Cancer Council, dating 1984 and 1990. Speaker of the House Gib
Lewis gave the 1984 speech to the Executive Committee of the Legislative Task
Force on Cancer in Texas. The others date from 1990, and include speeches by
Executive Director Emily Untermeyer: one to Tumor Registrars, press conference
remarks, and a keynote address to a workshop for Education Service Centers and
Universities on "Building Coalitions in Comprehensive
School Health." There is also a speech by Jim Rudd, Chairman of the House
Appropriations Committee, to the University of Texas Board of Regents. |

Texas Cancer Pain Initiative records,

fractional |

In November 1987, Dr. C. Stratton Hill Jr., Director of the Pain
Clinic of M. D. Anderson Hospital, sent a packet of materials to Dr. Lewis
Moore of the Texas Cancer Council, requesting that the council consider adding
the subject of pain control to the list of workgroups in the Texas Cancer Plan.
In April 1991, Texas Governor Ann Richards proclaimed April 1 to be
"Freedom from Cancer Pain Day," which
subsequently led a group of health care professionals to organize the Texas
Cancer Pain Initiative on June 1, 1991. These records include correspondence,
minutes, memoranda, publications, and conference programs, dating 1985-1989 and
1991. |
|
Dr. Hill's packet contains material from the Wisconsin Initiative
To Improve Cancer Pain Control, including correspondence, journal articles,
news clippings, and conference programs, dating 1985-1988. Minutes of the
organizational meeting of the Texas Cancer Pain Initiative, June 1, 1991,
contain attachments (the official memorandum from Governor Richards,
correspondence, and a reprint of a journal article), dating 1989 and 1991. |

The Texas Cancer Council was created to implement the Texas Cancer
Plan, which has four objectives: to increase awareness of prevention programs
that may help lower the risk of developing cancer; to promote the early
detection and diagnosis of cancer; to improve the accessibility, availability,
and quality of treatment resources, services, and programs throughout the
state; and to advance development and application of new prevention, detection,
diagnostic, and therapeutic methods and techniques. These records are duplicate
copies of material maintained at the Texas Cancer Council in binders referred
to as "Historical Books," dating 1986-2006.
They are not published volumes. These records are based on the program files,
and serve two purposes: they capture the history of all the projects the Texas
Cancer Council has ever funded, and they provide a quick reference of
historical data. Each overview of each project contains the following
information in table form: fiscal year, name of project, TCC number,
agency/organization, project director, funding dates, funding amount, funding
history by year, whether the project was continued for the next fiscal year,
initiative category, population served, geographic region served, cancer topics
addressed, project description, accomplishments, and performance data. |
|
Typical projects include the following, taken from fiscal year
1999: Cancer Intervention Project (Titus County
Memorial Hospital), providing culturally relevant educational materials to
minority Texans on prevention and early detection of colon, cervical, breast,
lung and prostate cancer. Case Management for Promesa
Salud (Planned Parenthood Association of Cameron and Willacy Counties),
providing culturally and linguistically sensitive case management which
addresses the needs of low-income women receiving breast cancer screening and
diagnostic services. Community-Based Cancer Prevention
and Control Program (Stephen F. Austin State University), providing a
health promotion and disease prevention program aimed at reducing the risk of
cancer by working through a network of employers. The worksite based model will
be appropriate for use in rural Texas communities. Texas Comprehensive School Health Network (Texas
Department of Health), which through a network of Regional School Health
Specialists in Education Service Centers, assists schools in promoting
life-long cancer risk reduction behaviors among school children. |

Earlier publications summarizing these records include
Programs funded by the Texas Cancer Council, 1989;
Texas Cancer Council Initiatives, 1991 and 1993;
and Cancer Prevention and Control Initiatives: An
Overview of Texas Cancer Plan Projects, 1996. And for a full overview,
see Texas Cancer Council Projects, 1986-2007: Texas Cancer Council Historical
Database, at
http://www.tcc.state.tx.us/tcchdbq.html.
Both the publications and the database include the name of each project, the
"contractor" (i.e., initiator of the project/recipient of the funding), the
project director and contact information, the priority population, and a very
brief summary of the project goals. |
