Title
Brief clip of AuCoin House floor speech on women's rights and a pro-Oregon timber industry promotional video recording
Description
A video recording that includes a brief clip of US Congressman Les AuCoin advocating for women's rights on the House floor and a seperate pro-Oregon timber industry promotional clip. The clips both likely date to the early 1990s. The early 1990s in Oregon was marked by a declining timber industry, including a large-scale debate between environmentalists (including members of the ESA Committee, the "God Squad") concerned about protecting the habitat of the endangered northern spotted owl and the members of the logging industry who argued that the Endangered Species Act and its regulations reduced the number of jobs for timber workers.
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).
