Title
"Testimony in support of H.R. 10567" to the Subcommittee on Compensation, Pension, and Insurance
Description
In a speech on the U.S. House floor, U.S. Congressman Les Aucoin advocated for congressional support of H.R. 10567, a bill he proposed. H.R. 10567 would have amended a section of Title 38 of the United States Code, addressing phrasing that restricted eligibility for the veterans disability rating system, as the original section stated that "a veteran's disability rating of "total" or "permanent" disability must be in force continuously -- for 20 years -- in order to be preserved at that level." The bill was never passed. 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).
