Testimony before Senate Subcommittee on Housing regarding Energy Conservation Block Grant legislation

A speech by U.S. Congressman Les AuCoin before the Senate Subcommittee on Housing of the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs regarding Energy Conservation Block Grants. In his speech, Congressman AuCoin advocated for Energy Conservation Block Grants legislation in response to the energy crisis of the 1970s, and described the success of a similar program in Portland, Oregon. He explained how "The bill would expand HUD's existing authority to provide community development block grants to local governments. ... [and] communities will have an immediate incentive to become involved in extensive energy conservation plans and programs." 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).
