In 1963 and in 1974 legislators were asked in a fifty-state random sample survey to name what they thought were most important issues of their sessions. Their responses provide the basis for classifying specific issues into twenty or more policy areas. Each issue was also described by the presence or absence of twenty-one contextual characteristics relating to the types of resources involved, the types of interest and conflict, and societal impacts. The policy area classification system, applied by separate researchers, exhibits substantial consistency when the contextual characteristics are examined over the ten-year interval
