Abstract
Bob Bailey, Bob Cortright, Onno Husing, Becky Kreag, and Patty Snow were interviewed on May 29, 2025, by Mike Rupp and Hui Rodomsky.
Before the establishment of Oregon’s statewide planning program in 1973, Governor Tom McCall and the 1971 Oregon Legislature enacted Senate Bill 687, creating the Oregon Coastal Conservation and Development Commission.
In this interview, five key participants in Oregon coastal land use planning discuss the contributions made by the Oregon Coastal Conservation and Development Commission to the statewide planning program, and the issues identified by the OCC&DC that led to the creation and adoption of Oregon’s four coastal goals.

Description
"People and the Land" is a collaboration between the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development and Portland State University. The goal of this project is to document and preserve a record of Oregon’s land use program through the recording, transcription, collection and archiving of personal oral histories.
The project is intended to enable Oregon’s statewide planning agency to make a significant, abiding contribution to the body of literature that records and analyzes the politics, policy, and practices that make Oregon's land use program unique.
