Title: "Offshore James Watt" radio episode
Description: An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin on the dicussion of hypothetical oil drilling off of the coast of Oregon that was brought up by a proposed bill. First Interior Secretary to Ronald Reagan James Watt proposed the idea of oil exploration on the outer continental shelf in the 1980s, but AuCoin used his power as a congressman to halt this. AuCoin questions whether energy should trump other values. This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode aired in 2003.
