Title
House floor speech on an international moratorium on illegal high seas driftnet fishing video recording
Description
A video primarily featuring a US House of Representatives floor speech by Congressman Les AuCoin advocating for a resolution that affirmed and enforced an international moratorium on illegal high seas driftnet fishing. AuCoin argued that the H. W. Bush administration had not adequately ensured that the moratorium was enforced. The video was likely recorded in the early 1990s.
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).
