Title
Televised press conference hosted by AuCoin on extended unemployment benefits video recording
Description
A video of U.S. Congressman Les AuCoin hosting a small, televised press conference from Washington, D.C. addressing how legislation that extended unemployment benefits was likely initially defeated by President H. W. Bush for not declaring the unemployment crisis an emergency. He also discussed the Bureau of Land Management's Cy Jamison's decision to petition the Secretary of Interior to convene the "God Squad" (environmentalist members of the ESA Committee) during the early 1990s logging crisis. AuCoin took questions from Oregon reporters who called in over the phone.
This is a digitized version of an analog videorecording 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).
