Introduction of colleagues at Portland hearing on the question of a nuclear weapons freeze

Description

A brief speech delivered by US Congressman Les AuCoin introducing colleagues at a hearing on the question of a nuclear weapons freeze in Portland, Oregon in the early 1980s. In his speech, Congressman AuCoin specifically mentions by name Congressman Jim Weaver, though states that "each one of the members of the Congress who are participating in this hearing has fought against the arms race throughout his career in the House of Representatives and each of us has been committed from the beginning, to the question of a Nuclear Weapons Freeze.

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).
