Title

Letter to congressional colleague advocating for The Community Energy Conservation Act

Description

In a letter to a congressional colleague, U.S. Congressman Les AuCoin advocated for The Community Energy Conservation Act. In his letter, Congressman AuCoin explained how the bill would "encourage local governments to undertake innovative [conservation] programs based on community consensus" through the HUD Community Development Block Grant program and the Department of Energy. The Community Energy Conservation Act was compared to that of the Carter Administration's proposed Energy Management Partnership Act. The letter was signed by both Congressman Les AuCoin and Congressman Ed Markey. 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).
