Typewritten journal from November and December 1982

Description

US Congressman Les AuCoin's typewritten journal from November and December 1982. The journal describes his everyday life as a member of Congress, such as giving an address to the Oregon Sierra Club, having a discussion with an anti-missile and nuclear freeze activist group, meeting with a political advisory committee regarding the Balanced Budget Constituional Amendment, talks surrounding an Oregon wilderness bill, meeting with the Interior and Insular Affairs Committee, meeting with Senator Mark Hatfield, voting against "the vaunted 'Infrastructure/Jobs Bill,'" giving a house floor speech on the Defense Appropriations Bill on the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, receiving a conference report for the Transportation Appropriations Bil, and his work on the "automobile 'domestic content' bill" that affected the Port of Portland and the electronics industry.

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).
