Representatives Les AuCoin and Tim Wirth testify before Congress
Description
Representatives Les AuCoin and Tim Wirth testify before the Education Subcommittee in support of of increased federal funding for education. In typed notes about the image, Les AuCoin writes: "In the 1970s, then-congressman Tim Wirth and I testified in support of a deeper federal commitment to education. The venue: the Education Subcommittee of the House Labor and Education Committee. Tim went on to win a Senate seat in Colorado and was appointed by President Clinton to a high-ranking post in the State Department. Later he was president and CEO of Ted Turner's United Nations Foundation." A handwritten note on the back of the photo reads "Testifies with Cong. Wirth on education res.". A small label reads "Please credit National Education Association Carolyn Salisbury." Based on these notes, this photo was likely taken between 1970 and 1979. This is one of a collection of digitized objects from the Les AuCoin Papers (MS.147) at the Pacific University Archives. The original photo remains with the AuCoin family.
