Title
Letter addressed to a friend regarding support for Bottle Bill legislation
Description
In a letter addressed to a friend (likely a congressional colleague), U.S. Congressman Les AuCoin advocated for proposed national bottle bill legislation. A bottle bill is legislation that aims to create a deposit-based returnable system for single use beverage containers. Congressman AuCoin explained in his letter how he was among the writers of Oregon's Bottle Bill of 1971, the first of such legislation passed in the nation. 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).
