This Week in Crypto History

30 years ago: The House Environment and Energy Committee approved a resolution aimed at protecting the “maybe-mythical, maybe-real Pacific Northwest creature” – Bigfoot. In a unanimous vote, the panel sent to the House floor Joint Resolution 52, introduced by Rep. Ted Kulongoski, D-Junction City. Originally written “with a slightly tongue-in-cheek approach,” the final resolution took on a more serious tone, thanks to amendments by the director of the Bigfoot Information Center in Hood River.The Register-Guard

Of course, the director of the Bigfoot Information Center in Hood River, OR was none other than Peter Byrne. This was one of several of Peter’s Bigfoot research projects.

The Bigfoot Information Center was operational from 1971-1979.
