Title

AuCoin-Moshofsky 1984 debate video recording -- alternate version with extra footage

Description

A video recording of a debate between the candidates of the 1980 congressional race for Oregon's 1st Congressional District, Democratic incumbent Les AuCoin and Republican challenger Bill Moshofsky, at Beaverton High School on September 15, 1984. Such topics discussed in the debate include the 1984 presidential election, the issue of the federal budget, campaign funding, the Nicaraguan Revolution, a federal fisheries program, inflation, social security, the environment, immigration policy, the Equal Rights Amendment, abortion, prayer in schools, and the Star Wars program during the Cold War. Compared to the similar PUA_MS147_vid_002 video file, this version is of slightly lesser quality, but includes the footage of the aftermath of the debate at the very end and a clip of KGW 8 evening news discussing the debate.

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).
