Opening Statement for the Rural Housing Hearings

Description

In an opening statement to the Subcomittee on Housing and Community Development of the Committee on Banking, Finance, and Urban Affairs, Congressman Les AuCoin advocated for addressing the housing needs of rural Americans. He shared an example of an Oregon migrant labor camp with inadequate facilities. AuCoin's statement came before expected congressional testimony from the Farmers Home Administration regarding national rural housing needs. This is one of a collection of digitized objects from the Les AuCoin Papers (MS.147) at the Pacific University Archives. AuCoin served in the Oregon House of Representatives (1971-1975) and in the United States House of Representatives from Oregon's 1st District (1975-1993).
