NBC News story on the Oregon "timber summit" video recording
Description
A video featuring footage of a NBC News story covering a 1989 "Timber Summit" held in Salem, Oregon organized by the Oregon congressional delegation. The news story included an interview with US Congressman Les AuCoin. The 1980s and early 1990s in Oregon were marked by a declining timber industry, including a large-scale debate between environmentalists (including members of the ESA Committee, the "God Squad") concerned about protecting the habitat of the endangered northern spotted owl and the members of the logging industry who argued that the Endangered Species Act and its regulations reduced the number of jobs for timber workers.
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).
