Ben F. Barnes Biographical Sketch
Ben Frank Barnes served Texas as lieutenant governor, Speaker of the
House, and state representative. In his first political campaign, Barnes was
elected in 1960 at the age of 22 as state representative for Brown, Coleman,
Comanche and Runnels counties in West-Central Texas. He was elected Speaker of
the House of Representatives by his colleagues in 1965 and became the youngest
Lieutenant Governor of Texas in 1968, a position he held until 1972 when he
lost a race for governor. Ben Barnes was born April 17, 1938 at Gorman, Texas
and grew up on his father's peanut farm at Comyn, between DeLeon and Dublin.
Barnes enrolled in Texas Christian University in Fort Worth in 1955, later
transferred to John Tarleton College, and finally to the University of Texas at
Austin where he graduated in 1960 with a degree in business administration.
Barnes also attended the University of Texas Law School.
While a representative, Barnes served as chairman of the House Rules
Committee and as vice-chairman of the Banks and Banking Committee. As Speaker,
Barnes supported passage of the Consumer Credit Code, clean-air and
water-quality legislation, legislation establishing programs for the elderly
and legislation in behalf of the mentally ill and handicapped. During his first
term as Speaker, Barnes led in the passage of legislation which created the
Texas Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation. He was instrumental
in creating the Coordinating Board for the Texas College and University System
and the Governor's Committee on Aging, in revising and codifying the Uniform
Commercial Code, in raising teachers' pay, and in revising the Code of Criminal
Procedure. Some of the major issues faced during his terms as speaker were
redistricting, improvement of higher education, the promotion of tourism in
Texas, and efforts to attract new industry to the state.
As Lieutenant Governor, Barnes witnessed the creation of two nursing
schools, a dental school, three medical schools, and four senior colleges; an
increase in the minimum wage; and the adoption of the Liquor Reform Bill. He
backed legislation in the area of mass transportation, and legislation creating
the Texas Rehabilitation Commission. Throughout his four terms in the two
offices, Barnes was also interested in the issue of higher education.
President Lyndon B. Johnson appointed Barnes to his Advisory
Commission on Intergovernmental Relations in 1965. In 1968, Barnes represented
the U.S. Department of State at the Committee on Agriculture of the United
Nations Economic Commission for Europe. Barnes represented this Department
again in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Civil Defense Committee
Conference in Brussels.
One of the overriding concerns of the 1972 elections was the
Sharpstown stock-fraud scandal in which charges of fraud involving stock
purchases were leveled against nearly two dozen state officials and former
state officials. Though never directly implicated, Barnes' reputation was
tainted by the scandal which caused him to lose his bid for the governor's
office in 1972. Barnes retired from politics and became president of the
Bennett-Barnes Development Company in Brownwood which was primarily involved in
construction and real estate development. He also entered into partnerships and
various business ventures, some with former governor John Connally.
Agency History
The office of lieutenant governor is extremely powerful and
influential in Texas state government. The Texas Constitution (Article IV,
sections 1 and 16) gives the lieutenant governor power to act as governor in
the event of the governor's absence from the state, or his/her death,
resignation, impeachment, or inability or refusal to serve. The Constitution
has also designated the lieutenant governor to serve as president of the Texas
Senate. The current Rules of the Senate give the lieutenant governor authority
to appoint all senate committees and their chairs, to decide all questions of
order, to supervise all senate employees, and to determine the order of senate
business. Texas statutes have made the lieutenant governor chairman of the
Legislative Budget Board (which drafts the state budget) and the Texas
Legislative Council (which is the legislature's main source for drafting
bills); chair or vice-chair of the Legislative Audit Board (which appoints the
state auditor) and the Legislative Education Board (which oversees state
education policy); and member of the Legislative Redistricting Board (which
redistricts house and senate seats after each decennial census).
Scope and Contents of the Records
Types of records present include correspondence, memoranda, some
minutes, photographs, audio tapes, film, news clippings, speeches, press
releases, invitations, telegrams, surveys, schedules, guest registers,
statements, evidence, copies of bills, legal briefs, resolutions, books,
journals, postcards, petitions, periodicals, brochures, studies, opinion
surveys, itineraries, calendars, reports, publications, artifacts, and some of
Ben Barnes' college papers. These records date from 1943-1972 (bulk 1968-1972)
and cover Ben Barnes' entire tenure with the Texas legislature, though the bulk
of the records date from his term as lieutenant governor from 1968-1972.
Correspondence is with other legislators, constituents, officials, and with
members of state or federal boards, agencies, and commissions. Records largely
relate to pending or proposed legislation. Some records and news clippings
relating to the Sharpstown banking scandal are present.
To prepare this inventory, the described materials were cursorily
reviewed to delineate series, to confirm the accuracy of contents lists, to
provide an estimate of dates covered, and to determine record types. The
researcher should note that the contents of the boxes listed below have been
compiled from a list provided at the time the records were transferred.
Archives staff have not had the opportunity to verify the contents of the boxes
and, therefore, cannot vouch for the accuracy of the list.

News clipping files,
1969-1972,
11 cubic ft.
Records are news clippings dating from 1969 to 1972 and are news
clipping files of Ben F. Barnes. Topics of the newspaper articles include the
Sharpstown banking scandal; editorials on legislative actions; the formation of
an ethics commission; constitutional amendments; pesticide regulation;
legalized abortion; tax hikes; welfare spending; and Cesar Chavez, the farm
labor leader.
Arrangement
Some of the news clippings are photocopied and foldered by date in
reverse chronological order, others are pasted to sheets of paper and foldered
according to topic. All news clippings are dated and identified by the
newspaper in which they were published. Records remain in the order received.
Researchers please note the presence of news clippings scattered among records
in other series.

Restrictions on Access
Because of the possibility that portions of these records fall
under Public Information Act exceptions, an archivist must review these records
before they can be accessed for research. The records may be requested for
research under the provisions of the Public Information Act (V.T.C.A.,
Government Code, Chapter 552). The researcher may request an interview with an
archivist or submit a request by mail, fax, or e-mail including enough
description and detail about the information requested to enable the archivist
to accurately identify and locate the information requested. If our review
reveals information that may be excepted by the Public Information Act, we are
obligated to seek an open records decision from the Attorney General on whether
the records can be released. The Public Information Act allows the Archives ten
working days after receiving a request to make this determination. The Attorney
General has 45 working days to render a decision. Alternately, the Archives can
inform you of the nature of the potentially excepted information and if you
agree, that information can be redacted or removed and you can access the
remainder of the records.
Restrictions on Use
Most records created by Texas state agencies are not copyrighted

Constitutional Revision Commission files,

(bulk 1967-1968),
3.7 cubic ft.
Types of records present include correspondence, minutes,
publications, reports, books, and pamphlets, dating 1949-1968 (bulk 1967-1968).
Records are working files and research files of the Constitutional Revision
Commission. This commission was created (H.S.R. 429, 60th Legislature) in 1967
to undertake the research and study necessary to revise and update Texas' 1876
Constitution by eliminating or deleting obsolete or unnecessary provisions and
to make possible the solution of modern problems without the necessity of
frequent and detailed Constitutional Amendments. This commission was composed
of five members of the House of Representatives appointed by the Speaker, five
members of the Senate appointed by the Lieutenant Governor, ten persons
appointed by the Governor, five persons appointed by the Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of Texas, with the president and vice-president to be appointed
from among the members of the commission. Records reflect the work of the
Commission including committee and subcommittee work, and final reports and
recommendations submitted to the Governor and members of the 61st Legislature.
Research files also include some publications and reports from other states
relating to those states' work with constitutional revision.
Arrangement
Records generated by the commission are organized by committee.
Research material, including publications from other states, books, and various
reports do not appear to be in any specific order. All records remain in order
as received.
Preferred Citation

Information Services Division, Texas State Library and Archives Commission.
Restrictions on Access
Because of the possibility that portions of these records fall
under Public Information Act exceptions, an archivist must review these records
before they can be accessed for research. The records may be requested for
research under the provisions of the Public Information Act (V.T.C.A.,
Government Code, Chapter 552). The researcher may request an interview with an
archivist or submit a request by mail, fax, or e-mail including enough
description and detail about the information requested to enable the archivist
to accurately identify and locate the information requested. If our review
reveals information that may be excepted by the Public Information Act, we are
obligated to seek an open records decision from the Attorney General on whether
the records can be released. The Public Information Act allows the Archives ten
working days after receiving a request to make this determination. The Attorney
General has 45 working days to render a decision. Alternately, the Archives can
inform you of the nature of the potentially excepted information and if you
agree, that information can be redacted or removed and you can access the
remainder of the records.
In accordance with Texas Government Code, Chapter 306, Ben F.
Barnes allowed public access to the communications between himself and his
constituents on July 29, 2004.
Restrictions on Use

Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations files,
1965-1968,
2 cubic ft.
Types of records present include reports, news clippings,
memoranda, news releases, and publications. Records date 1965-1968 and are
records of Lieutenant Governor Ben Barnes as a member of the U.S. Advisory
Commission on Intergovernmental Relations. Barnes was appointed to this
commission by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965. The 26-member commission,
established in 1959 by federal legislation, was a bipartisan body established
to maintain continuing review of the relations among federal, state, and local
governments. Its membership consists of governors, mayors, county officials,
state legislators, representatives from both houses of Congress, the federal
executive branch, and the general public. The commission has, in part, the
responsibility to encourage discussion and study at
an early stage of emerging public problems that are likely to require
intergovernmental cooperation and to make proposals for improving
federal-state-local relationships. The commission considered issues and
problems related to, for example, industry, Medicaid, urbanization, and a wide
range of tax issues.
Arrangement
Records are in no apparent order and remain in the order
received.

files,
1969,
0.3 cubic ft.
Records present include statements, evidence (weapons in the form
of crude knives and one icepick), news clippings, recommendations, photographs,
and reports. Records are dated 1969 and reflect the work of the House Interim
Committee on Juvenile Crime and Delinquency in its investigation of incidents
of alleged mistreatment of inmates of the Gatesville State School. Since the
interim committee was due to be dissolved by law before any investigation of
abuse could be completed, members of the committee approached Ben Barnes as
Speaker of the House with their recommendations for further investigation and
correction of the situation at Gatesville State School.
Arrangement
Records are in no apparent order and remain in order as received
except that weapons were removed for storage with other artifacts on-site at
the Texas State Library and Archives.

the records can be released. The Public Information Act allows the Archives ten
working days after receiving a request to make this determination. The Attorney

non-fiction dating from 1943 to 1969 (bulk 1960-1969). These are books

related to legislative work, some vary widely in topic and do not appear to be

2 cubic ft.
Records consist of some of Ben Barnes' college and law school
papers and various items that appear to be unrelated to Barnes' work in the
Texas Legislature. Records date from 1957 to 1970.
Arrangement
These records are arranged in no apparent order.
Preferred Citation
(Identify the item), Miscellaneous, Records of Ben F. Barnes,
Texas Office of the Lieutenant Governor. Archives and Information Services
Division, Texas State Library and Archives Commission.
Restrictions on Access
Because of the possibility that portions of these records fall
under Public Information Act exceptions, an archivist must review these records
before they can be accessed for research. The records may be requested for
research under the provisions of the Public Information Act (V.T.C.A.,
Government Code, Chapter 552). The researcher may request an interview with an
archivist or submit a request by mail, fax, or e-mail including enough
description and detail about the information requested to enable the archivist
to accurately identify and locate the information requested. If our review
reveals information that may be excepted by the Public Information Act, we are
obligated to seek an open records decision from the Attorney General on whether
the records can be released. The Public Information Act allows the Archives ten
working days after receiving a request to make this determination. The Attorney
General has 45 working days to render a decision. Alternately, the Archives can
inform you of the nature of the potentially excepted information and if you
agree, that information can be redacted or removed and you can access the
remainder of the records.
Restrictions on Use
Most records created by Texas state agencies are not copyrighted
and may be freely used in any way. State records also include materials
received by, not created by, state agencies. Copyright remains with the
