Conference Flag-Protection Speaker (unnamed)

Man 2nd pierces the Mural Room's photo-op glare with crisp attentiveness, echoing Vice President Hoynes' wry sun quip on unpredicted California floods before pressing his bid to meet Toby Ziegler—twice, amid quilt-clasped seniors and reporter scrutiny. He poses steadily as flashes capture the moment, channeling constituent urgency into White House corridors during aqueduct crisis surges of 25 million acre-feet. This poised intermediary fuses public ritual with insider access, his polite insistence ('Sir?', 'Could you see Toby Ziegler?') bridging everyday stakeholders to power's edge, embodying the quiet leverage of those summoned amid national emergencies.
