"Opening Up Trade with China" Speech

Description

In a speech, Congressman Les AuCoin expressed his support for normalized trade relations between the United States and China. Specifically, AuCoin advocated for two bills he introduced to Congress: H.R. 8196 and H.R. 8197. The normalization of U.S.-China dimplomatic relations was a popular goal of the 1970s, and was formally recognized by the two countries in 1978. 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).
