Title

Letter to congressional colleague advocating for proposed amendments to the Solar Bank bill

Description

In a letter to a congressional colleague, U.S. Congressman Les AuCoin advocated for his two proposed amendments to the Solar Bank bill. The first of his proposed amendments aimed to ensure that "the Solar Bank could be funded from general revenues in the event that the Energy Security Trust Fund has not been enacted by Congress." The second of Congressman AuCoin's proposed amendments was designed to "conform the authorization levels for the Solar Bank to those in the bill recently approved by the Senate." The Solar Bank bill, also known as the Solar Energy Bank Act, aimed to incentivize solar energy by providing long-term, low-interest loans to add such equipment to residential and commercial buildings. 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).
