Description
US Congressman Les AuCoin's remarks before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Monopolies and Commercial Law on September 9, 1982. In his speech, US Congressman AuCoin described the struggling Oregon economy, which suffered from high unemployment, a floundering timber industry, and the economic policies of the Ronald Reagan Administration. AuCoin expressed his opposition towards the Antitrust Equal Enforcement Act, which he deemed to be a bailout for -- and organized by -- timber companies.
