Same as catalog # 311194 Master 1 - Tape 1 Ike at the white house, meeting the press after his recovery from his 1955 heart attack. President Dwight D. Eisenhower comes out of a small building with first Lady Mamie and meets the press. Ike is recovered from surgery. Great shots of still photographer pools, as these guys shoot lots of snap shots. Also good shots of newsreel cameramen with their cameras on tripods. Best shot is when Ike walks from the left to the right, stops, takes off his hat, and waves it for the crowd. Crowd waves back at Ike. He shakes the hand of the doorman, bellhop, and enters his limo. The car drives off.
