Morrison kept in close contact with other members of ANIA, though they were located all around the United States. Contact was maintained primarily through faxes and letters. Fax cover sheets have been saved only when they contain useful or necessary information regarding the fax's contents, or a message to/from Morrison. Correspondents include Bill Lenahan (Assistant Director, Irish American Labor Coalition), Bob Linnon of the Irish American Unity Conference, Raymond Flynn (Mayor of Boston), Michael Quinlin (assistant to Raymond Flynn), John Finucane of the American Irish Political Education Committee, Father Sean McManus of the Irish National Caucus, Jim Gallagher (National President, Ancient Order of Hibernians in America), Joseph Jamison (Director of Research, NY State AFL-CIO), and Niall O'Dowd, founder and editor of "The Irish Voice" magazine.

As a founding member of Irish Americans for Clinton-Gore, and an active participant in the 1992 and 1996 Clinton campaigns, Morrison received a fair amount of press recognition. His high profile led him to be contacted by leaders of the Baltic community in Connecticut in 1992. They proposed that, were Governor Clinton to make a strong statement calling on Russian President Boris Yeltsin to withdraw all troops from the Baltic states, it would gain him considerable favor amongst Baltic-Americans and help him when the polls opened in November.

Faxes and letters in this folder deal mainly with Morrison's contact with Clinton-Gore campaign officials, especially Christopher Hyland, Deputy National Political Director for Ethnic Constituencies.
