Title: "Testimony on U.S.-China Trade Agreement, Ways and Means Committee, Subcommittee on Trade"
Description: Testimony of U.S. Congressman Les AuCoin regarding a 1979 U.S.-China trade agreement, delivered before the Subcommittee on Trade of the Committee on Ways and Means on November 1, 1979. In his testimony, Congressman AuCoin expressed support for the trade agreement, which signaled "the end of a 30-year trade hiatus with the People's Republic of China." Congressman AuCoin stated how the agreement would help improve the U.S. trade deficit and create stability for Pacific Rim trade, among other benefits, while recognizing that the agreement had some less tangible goals. 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).
