{LBJWEB} {LBJTWHY} Diary Backup also mentions A. Philip Randolph - but he doesn't show up in image/s. The 4 are seated around a low round table. MLK & LBJ (speaking & gesturing w both hands, eyeglasses held in r hand) both look towards WY & JF who face them. Looks like earnest discussion. Coffee cups, papers, other items on table.
