Wikipedia:Copyright problems takes care of possible copyright violations.

This is an image of Senator Holman from Library of Congress [1] It says it is free to use in US, but not worldwide. Can I use this image?

http://www.copyright.gov/title17/chapter01.pdf Section 105 clearly states that no work of the US government is subject to copyright. However, this does not appear to be done by the US govt, though that is possible. What the page does state is that there is no known restriction on publication, meaning that the US government does not believe that copyright protection applies to it. Short of any notification otherwise from an unknown copyright holder, it should be fully usable. There would be no chance of any penalty being applied by a court, and it would be highly unlikely that anyone would even attempt a suit, or even request its removal. If there is a copyright holder, they probably are unaware that they are the copyright holder. I say add it. KV(Talk) 01:41, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
