Comments on National Energy Plan, Gasoline Rationing Program

Comments by U.S. Congressman Les AuCoin regarding the national energy plan and the gasoline rationing program. Congressman AuCoin advocated for a "strong conservation program" and the "development of safe, alternative energy technologies" in regards to the national energy plan. For the gasoline rationing program, Congressman AuCoin called the gasoline rationing program "an expensive, bureaucratic nightmare," pointing out how Oregon would not have benefited and "would have received less than the national average in fuel allocation." 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).
