Hello, current US government employee. My agency was sued for a pretty penny some time ago because they weren't doing their due diligence when it came to using images. Every employee now has to take a IP training before they're let loose.
Reach out to their public affairs dept, it'll be taken care of if they're not complete idiots. If they don't comply, make them comply with a DMCA complaint as others have mentioned.
Give him one of the cheese ones. I've found that people enjoy a good smoked gouda.
