Description
Opening remarks by U.S. Congressman Les AuCoin before the Fisheries and Wildlife Subcommittee of the House Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee regarding House Concurrent Resolution 273. In his remarks given on March 3, 1980, Congressman AuCoin expressed his concern for H.Con.Res. 273, the proposed cancellation of the U.S.-Soviet fisheries agreement admist the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. He disagreed with the Soviet aggression towards Afghanistan, though Congressman AuCoin explained how the U.S.-Soviet fisheries agreement benefited U.S. fishermen, and that if H.Con.Res. 273 were to pass "and the fishing agreement with the Soviets is cancelled, U.S.-Soviet joint ventures are also cancelled." 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).
