Title
1984 U.S. House of Representatives election campaign speeches delivered before the Oregon Education Association
Description
A campaign speech by Bill Moshofsky delivered to the Oregon Education Association on March 31, 1984, and the following response of U.S. Congressman Les AuCoin. At the time, Moshofsky was running for Oregon's 1st Congressional District as a Republican, challenging the Democratic incumbent U.S. Congressman Les AuCoin. Moshofsky first ran for the position in 1982. In his speech, Moshofsky discussed the state of the economy and education system, highlighting his concerns with the federal $200 billion deficit. He described his track record of volunteer work in improving education on the community level, experience in the Oregon timber industry, and his career in business management and as an attorney. In Congressman's AuCoin's rebuttal of Moshofsky's speech, Congressman AuCoin stated his committment to education and public schools, and asserted that the $200 billion deficit debate was misleading, as the cause was military spending, not education programs. He also described Moshofsky's past in lobbying for cuts in higher education in Oregon. Attached at the end of each speech is the transcript of the respective question and answer sessions. 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).
