McCall on Fluoridation

The debate over water fluoridation is not new. Here, Oregon Governor Tom McCall makes his case for fluoridating Oregon's water supplies, at a legislative committee meeting in February 1969. The bill being debated at this meeting did not pass.

In June, 1968 – just months after the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert F. Kennedy – McCall expressed his position on gun control legislation. His arguments sounded much like those still being made today.
