Title
Letter to congressional colleague in support of H.R. 39, the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act
Description
In a letter to a fellow member of Congress, U.S. Congressman Les AuCoin expressed his support for H.R. 39, a bill that aimed to protect certain public lands in Alaska. AuCoin described how "boundaries were carefully drawn to exclude those areas of high mineral and energy values." H.R. 39 was first introduced in the 95th Congress, but it did not become law until the 96th Congress. 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).
