1946: Meanwhile, in Washington, LBJ and Sam Rayburn attend a luncheon in the Speaker’s Dining Room. Rayburn had been Speaker of the House since 1940, although the Democrats would lose the majority the year the photo was taken. Johnson and Rayburn were both political colleagues and friends. LBJ would occasionally show his affection for Rayburn by kissing him on top of the head. This photo is from the Sam Rayburn papers at the Dolph Briscoe Center for American History. Johnson is standing near the center, and Rayburn is seated in the middle.
