Title
House consideration on the 1993 federal budget and a peace dividend video recording
Description
A video featuring US House of Representatives consideration footage on the 1993 federal budget, including a "Walls Down" bill, an initiative seemingly led by Congressman John Conyers, Jr. of Michigan, which aimed to add more highway, housing, mass transit, airport improvement, and Social Security jobs to the federal budget than proposed by President H. W. Bush in 1992. US Congressman Les AuCoin notably appears at the 8:30 minute mark discussing the hypothetical reasons for a potential veto by President H. W. Bush. At the 24:50 mark, AuCoin advocates for a peace dividend -- decreased defense spending -- in the budget, the reduction of budget deficits, and investments in education spending.
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).
