Title
Letter to a congressional colleague regarding the Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act
Description
A letter to a congressional colleague by U.S. Congressman Les AuCoin regarding the Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act (H.R. 8157 and S. 885). In his letter, Congressman AuCoin expressed his concerns with the bill, and asked for support for his proposed amendment. He described his concerns of there being a lack of nuclear waste safety guidelines, and explained that his proposed amendment would ensure that "before the Bonneville Power Administrator acquires the power from any nuclear generating facility, there must be in operation a federally licensed waste storage facility." 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).
