Mondale swearing in
As Joan Mondale looks on, Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey administers the senatorial oath of office to Walter Mondale at Bethesda Naval Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland in January 1967. Two days before he was to be sworn in for his first full Senate term, Mondale underwent surgery for appendicitis. He was unable to attend the Congressional swearing-in ceremony, but he was able to be sworn in at the hospital by Humphrey.
