Title: "Bush National Guard" radio episode
Description: An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin on President Bush's controversial National Guard record as a young man despite his support of the Vietnam War.

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 2004.
