"Let's Stop the Arms Race" workshop video recording

A video titled "Let's Stop the Arms Race" featuring a community workshop held in Oregon on arms control policy and preventing nuclear war with the Soviet Union during the final years of the Cold War. The workshop took place on April 14, 1984. As a Congressman, Les AuCoin served as the moderator of the workshop. Speakers include strategic analyst and researcher on US-Soviet relations Brian Green, Associate Director for space policy at the Federation of American Scientists John Pike, congressional staffer Robert Sherman, and retired Admiral and Commander of Pacific Command Noel A. M. Gayler. Audio is missing for a few seconds towards the very beginning of the video.

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).
