Les AuCoin Collection

NBC News coverage on the Star Wars program and stealth bombers video recording

A video recording featuring news coverage of funding for the Strategic Defense Initiative (AKA Star Wars) program and stealth bombers. US Congressman Les AuCoin notably appears at the 0:40 and the 3:00 minute marks, criticizing the Star Wars program and advocating for the funding to be spent elsewhere. This news story is likely from 1990.

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).
