This photograph is of Mitchell Elias Daniels, Jr., director of the Office of Management and Budget during the George W. Bush administration. Daniels formerly served as White House director of political and intergovernmental affairs under President Ronald Reagan, and went on to serve as the governor of Indiana from 2005-2013. On September 11, 2001, Daniels hesitated to evacuate his office in the Old Executive Office Building (later rededicated as the Eisenhower Executive Office Building) and returned to work later that day from the Roosevelt Room in the West Wing.
