Description: A House floor statement by U.S. Congressman Les AuCoin on the Maritime Education and Training Act of 1980 (H.R. 5451), delivered on June 30, 1980. In his statement, Congressman AuCoin advocated for H.R. 5451, which recodified existing provisions of law regarding maritime education and training based on four years of research in congressional subcommittees. Notably, the bill established legal obligations for recipients of federal assistance who were trained at the U.S. Merchant Marine academy and other state maritime academies. The Maritime Education and Training Act of 1980 eventually became Public Law 96-453. 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).
