Description
A Special Order statement by U.S. Congressman Les AuCoin for the Congressional Record regarding auto import restrictions, titled "Auto Import Curbs Rejected," and delivered on May 29, 1980. In his statement, Congressman AuCoin expressed his opposition to import restrictions on foreign cars, stating how "if we shield U.S. automakers from competition, we don't give them any incentive to make the necessary changes needed to become competitive again in the new gas-conscious marketplace." Congressman AuCoin also included several statements from Oregonians with opinions on the matter. 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).
