We can’t republish the AP-owned photo here, but follow this link to a 1981 shot of Sen. Daniel Inouye and the late Sen. Mark Hatfield (also pictured, and sitting between them, is former Wisconsin Democrat William Proxmire). 

The AP caption that accompanies the photo says the senators are negotiating an “emergency spending bill.”
