I was told that the gentleman in the first two photos is Senator George W. Norris (Rep, NE) standing next to his Ford in the Capitol parking lot. Not sure about the other to photos, but all were taken in the D.C. area apparently.

Does anyone recognize the men in the other photos?

Fordially,

hard to tell from the photos, but he is known to have almost single-handedly, during the 1920s, blocked Mr. Ford's attempts to cheaply acquire the power plant systems that later became the TVA in the '30s. The plants were built at great expense by the government to produce nitrates during the war, but scientific advancements soon rendered them obsolete. Interesting that he would be posing with a Model A, of all cars.
