Letter to congressional colleague rejecting proposed amendment to the Panama Canal Act
Title
Letter to congressional colleague rejecting proposed amendment to the Panama Canal Act
Description
In a letter to a congressional colleague, U.S. Congressman Les AuCoin rejected a proposed amendment to the Panama Canal Act, which would "prohibit the payment of any money to Panama under the 1977 Treaty as long as a U.S. investor had a claim against Panama which had not been settled to the satisfaction of the investor." The proposed amendment was controversial, as it was lobbied by the attorneys of U.S. billionaire D.K. Ludwig, who would have benefited from such an amendment. 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).
