Point out the original source of the uncropped image. It's trivial to determine that cropped X is a derivative of uncropped Y, and thus we can treat Y as the source of X.

Point me to the original public domain image. I'll crop it and remove the antenna sticking out of his head, and release my copyright on the modification to the public domain.

Looking at Google, this seems to be the original: http://www.house.gov/clay/images/photo016.jpg

Cool, thanks. I would have hate to have seen Wikipedia's copyright policy require the replacement of a free image with a non-free one!

The only need for the "source" in this case is to verify that it was a US Gov image (it was not obvious from the photo itself). That is, it is required here just to guarantee that it is a free image.

The path of least resistance would be to upload the original image, tag it PD-USGov, and then someone can (I volunteer to) crop that original image the same way.
