Shortened remarks at the Oregon Committee for Israel Bonds regarding the US–Saudi Arabia AWACS Sale
Description
The shortened remarks of US Congressman Les AuCoin at the Oregon Committee for Israel Bonds on June 3, 1981. In his speech, Congressman AuCoin criticized the Reagan Administration's proposal to sell offensive arms to Saudi Arabia (the US–Saudi Arabia AWACS Sale), a country in which the US had a history of oil pricing disputes with, instead describing Israel as the true "dependable friend in the Middle East."
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).
