Title

Remarks in support of H.R. 562 to include urgent supplemental appropriation to help unemployed Americans find employment

Description

US Congressman Les AuCoin's House floor remarks on September 16, 1982 advocating for H.R. 562, which would have provided urgent supplemental appropriation to help aid unemployed Americans, and Oregonians especially, in getting back to work. Critical of Ronald Reagan's economic policies, AuCoin asserted that the Reagan Administration had "cleaned the economy of jobs and businesses faster than any administration since Herbert Hoover's."

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).
