Extended Description:

The torsos of four people standing behind Judy’s wheelchair are visible in this view. One person holds a wire and equipment, presumably for a television camera. Two of the four also wear “Sign 504” buttons pinned to the lapels of their suits. The wheel and armrest of another wheelchair edges into the photograph to the right.
