Notes: Former U.S. President Harry S. Truman attends a press conference at the Sheraton Blackstone Hotel directly preceding the Democratic National Convention held in Chicago from August 13-17, 1956. The tone of the press conference is rather lighthearted, and there is some banter between President Truman and all attending press members.
