Title

"U.S.-China Trade Agreement" Congressional Testimony

Description

Congressional testimony of U.S. Congressman Les AuCoin regarding a U.S.-China trade agreement. In his testimony, Congressman AuCoin expressed support for the trade agreement which was sent to President Carter by Congress, as Congressman AuCoin explained how the treaty signaled "the end of a 30-year trade hiatus with the People's Republic of China." He did critique some aspects of the bill in his testimony, such as its potential effectiveness. 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).
