Title

Video recording primarily featuring House consideration for the AuCoin amendment for abortion rights

Description

A compilation of video clips featuring remarks and votes on the US House of Representatives floor in 1992. Congressman Les AuCoin notably appears at the very beginning of the video, discussing a Rules Committee rule that prevented amendments from being debated and voted on on the House floor. At the 12:00 minute mark, AuCoin advocates for a pro-arms control amendment of his which centered around the US disarming their tactical nuclear weapons. From the 22:00 minute mark on, House consideration takes place on what is referred to as the "AuCoin amendment" -- at the 38:50 minute mark, AuCoin explains this amendment, which seemed to have proposed clarifications for the Military Health Care Initiatives Act of 1992 and strengthened abortion rights for military women serving abroad.
This is a digitized version of an analog videorecording 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).
