Title: 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.
