Media Releases, 1970 - 1992
Scope and Contents
Series 4 contains materials produced by the office of Les AuCoin and disseminated. Subseries I, Press Releases, includes materials that were specifically produced for the press. Subseries II, Mailings, includes materials that were produced for Oregon voters. There is a substantial overlap in the content of these materials, as they often drew on AuCoin’s speeches in Congress. However, they were produced for different purposes and used different formats. The series also includes a large number of press clippings illustrating how releases were eventually reported. Both subseries are arranged chronologically by the month and year in which the release was produced, with titles or topics listed where possible.
Additional media releases can be found in Series 2 and Series 3, when related to AuCoin’s campaigns or office files.
