Title
Representative Les AuCoin meets Mikhail Gorbachev
Description
Representative Les AuCoin and his wife Sue meet Mikhail Gorbachev, President of the Soviet Union. In typed notes about the image, AuCoin writes: "Sue and I were members of Speaker Jim Wright's 1986 mission to Moscow. At the Kremlin, I talked briefly with Mikhail Gorbachev about a bill I helped pass that banned flight tests on anti-satellite weapons. It was the first form of arms control ever conceived in and passed by Congress. Sue stands behind me." 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.
