Description
In a speech, U.S. Congressman Les AuCoin addressed the housing crisis facing the nation in the 1970s. AuCoin describes issues relating to the the timber industry. AuCoin expressed his desire to have new government legislation "be aimed at curbing the rise in the cost of housing, rather than being almost exclusively preoccupied with increasing government programs to subsidize housing." The Housing and Community Development Amendments of 1977, including the Urban Development Action Grant program, is mentioned. This is one of a collection of digitized objects from the Les AuCoin Papers (MS.147) at the Pacific University Archives.
