Title

Televised press conference hosted by DeFazio and AuCoin on legislation for states to levy tariffs on raw logs video recording

Description

A video featuring footage of U.S. representatives Les AuCoin and Peter DeFazio hosting a televised press conference addressing legislation they had helped introduce to Congress that proposed giving states the right to levy a tariff on the export of raw logs, most funds of which would directly go back into the state by investing in communities suffering from the declining logging industry. For most of the program, DeFazio and AuCoin took questions from reporters who called in over the phone.
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).
