Title
"Increase China Trade... Keep Jackson-Vanik Framework" letter to congressional colleague
Description
A letter to a congressional colleague from U.S. Congressman Les AuCoin titled "Increase China Trade... Keep Jackson-Vanik Framework." In the letter, Congressman AuCoin expressed support for increased trade with China, and advocated for legislation he proposed that "amends the waiver clause in Section 402 of the Trade Act that restricts certain trade benefits to non-market countries including China unless those countries exhibit satisfactory emigration policies." The Jackson-Vanik amendment to the Trade Act of 1974 changed trade relations with countries that restricted Jewish emigration, among other human rights concerns. 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).
