President Nixon and John Connally face the press to announce Connally's appointment as Secretary of the Treasury, replacing David Kennedy. December 14, 1970.

This is one of the few "news" photographs I took in the White House. President Nixon introduced to the press the man he had nominated as Secretary of the Treasury. I thought at the time how "presidential" John Connally of Texas looked. Later I watched him rise in stature and importance, and for a time this picture appeared quite prophetic.
