Title
"Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty and Bush" radio episode
Description
An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin regarding President Bush renouncing the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty. AuCoin advocates for the ABM Treaty, stating that the treaty made Americans safer and saved taxpayers billions of dollars. From Bush’s view, according to AuCoin, renouncing the treaty was done to protect the US from terrorist groups, as the treaty was an outdated, Cold War-era relic. AuCoin, however, asserts that renouncing the treaty is likely to trigger other countries nearby to acquire more missiles, while unlikely actually preventing terrorist attacks. This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode aired around 2002.
