Title
"Space" speech given on the U.S. House floor following 10 year anniversary of Apollo 11
Description
A speech titled "Space" by U.S. Congressman Les AuCoin that was given on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives just after the 10 year anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. In his speech, Congressman AuCoin celebrated the scientific accomplishments of the Apollo program, in spite of its controversially high financial costs, expressing how "Just as with all scientific endeavors the financial cost may seem out of proportion to our immediate gains, but those gains will come about." 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).
