Single page from the "Congressional Record" (Vol. 79, No. 35) for the First Session of the Seventy-Fourth Congress, pages 2451-2452. At the bottom of this leaf, which records routine Senate transactions, Rayburn signs big and bold with "M.C." after, adding "Bonham, Texas" below. Why he was asked to sign this particular page is a mystery. Accompanied by an outstanding original news agency 8½" X 6½" glossy black-and-white photograph. Superb outdoor scene showing seven legislators. Original newsprint text tipped to verso dates the image 27 September 1947, titles it "Congressional Leaders Called to White House for Emergency Meeting by the President" and explains the scene: "Shown at the White House to-day are this group of Congressional leaders who were called by the president in an emergency meeting to discuss the foreign aid crisis, high prices at home, and the possibility of a special session of Congress." Rayburn appears third from right, with Congressman Charles Eaton's arm slung affectionately over Rayburn's shoulders. An unusual document with a great image.
