President John F. Kennedy is briefed by Dr. Wernher von Braun regarding the Saturn rocket (with SA-5 on the pad at the time) at Pad B, Complex 37, Cape Canaveral, Florida. (L-R): An unidentified (mostly obscured) individual; Senator George Smathers of Florida;, Major General (MG) Chester V. Clifton, Military Aide to the President; President Kennedy (back to camera); Dr. von Braun, Director, NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC).
The above description is meant to be similar to those of the other photos taken during President Kennedy’s 16 November 1963 inspection/tour of Cape Canaveral.
I believe this photograph was/is probably considered an outtake, as a result of MG Clifton unintentionally photobombing the shot. The hand-annotated number on the verso is consistent with the JFK Library numbering of other photos taken during the inspection/tour. However, it yields no return when queried at the library’s website.
