Deb Haaland, wearing a gray suit with a red and black blouse, reads from a black book as she swears in the new USGS director. David Applegate, wearing a gray suit, white shirt, and red bow tie, stands opposite her with his right hand raised as he is sworn in. The pair stand in front of a large white marble fireplace set in a wood-paneled wall. The wall is decorated with Native American artwork, and the fireplace is framed by an American flag and a light blue flag for the U.S. Department of the Interior.
