Title
"Amendments to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act" Speech before the House Committee on Public Works and Transportation
Description
In a speech before the House Committee on Public Works and Transportation, Congressman Les AuCoin advocated for amending the Federal Water Pollution Control Act to address concerns regarding the "disposal of seafood wastes into the marine environment." AuCoin described how Environmental Protection Agency regulations can be too strict in preventing the dumping of biodegradable waste, causing fish life to face a decrease in seafood particles to feed on. 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).
