Title
Remarks to the Whaling Moratorium Seminar
Description
Remarks by U.S. Congressman Les AuCoin at the Whaling Moratorium Seminar in Washington, D.C., on June 12, 1979. In his remarks, Congressman AuCoin advocated for a moratorium of the commercial killing of whales, including through the sponsoring of House Concurrent Resolution 92 of the 96th Congress, which aimed to put such a moratorium in effect. He explained how Japan and the Soviet Union accounted for the vast majority of whales killed per year, with the Soviet Union primarily taking interest in whale oil. 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).
