"World Trade Week Address"

Title

"World Trade Week Address"

Description

In a speech to the Albany Area Chamber of Commerce in Albany, Oregon, on May 27, 1977, Congressman Les AuCoin discusses the U.S. economy and international trade for World Trade Week, a week long event during the third week of May proclaimed annually by the president of the United States. Congressman AuCoin expressed his overall support for President Carter's economic stimulus package, though AuCoin explained how he is also personally advocating for the 200-mile fisheries protection zone to boost the fishing industry, better management of the U.S. timber industry to keep timber prices low, energy conservation and alternative power sources to stimulate a new power industry, and federal funding for housing development programs. AuCoin also expressed his support for international trade, including improving the U.S. China trade relationship, which in turn would benefit the U.S. and Oregon economies.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).
