The lady in the photo with the exchange of gifts is, indeed, Mrs. da Silva. The one standing behind him at the desk has dark hair, a much thinner face and is not wearing the same shawl. Besides, it would have been a breach of diplomatic protocol to have Mrs. da Silva stand while her husand sat,and it simpy would not do.<BR/><BR/>Now, the questions is....who is she?
