1957 Press Photo House Speaker Sam Rayburn, president

Caption: (WX8)WASHINGTON, Feb.20-- THE MOOD CHANGES-- House Speaker Sam Rayburn lets loose a hearty laugh as he jokes with photographers today. This took place as the Texas Democrat sat in his car outside the White House after he and other congressional leaders talked over the grave Middle East situation with president Eisenhower. In a serious vein, Rayburn told reporters no definite conclusions were reached at the meeting.
