PBS NewsHour and C-SPAN coverage during the 1992 Senate election in Oregon video recording

A video compilation of PBS NewsHour and C-SPAN coverage of the 1992 Senate primary elections in Oregon. The first 34 minutes of the video includes footage of PBS NewsHour covering the Bosnian War, as well as the conflict in the early 1990s in Oregon between environmentalists concerned about protecting the northern spotted owl and the members of the logging industry who argued that the Endangered Species Act and its regulations reduced the number of jobs for timber workers. Congressman AuCoin appears at the 31:50 minute mark of the video, expressing his support for the Endangered Species Act. Various C-SPAN interviews and news stories of the 1992 Senate primary election in Oregon span from the 35:00 minute mark to the end of the video. Footage of AuCoin interacting with voters at the AFL-CIO Trade Show in Portland is at the 1:13:00 minute mark, and he is interviewed by C-SPAN at the 1:22:50 minute mark.

This is a digitized version of an analog videorecording 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).
