Description	President Eisenhower and Secretary of State Dulles sit behind a desk as Willy Brandt, mayor of West Berlin, enters the office. Eisenhower holds out his right hand to shake Brandt's hand, and props his ear out with his other hand; Dulles is whispering in Eisenhower's ear. Dulles is also looking through a briefcase which contains files on West Germany, France, and England. The U.S. Capitol building and the Washington Monument are visible in the background through a window, indicating that the meeting is taking place in Washington, D.C. A suitcase labeled with Dulles' initials sits on the floor in the foreground.
