Pentagon Papers on C-SPAN
C-SPAN will have special programming about the Pentagon Papers this weekend:
On June 13th, 1971, the New York Times began publishing the “Pentagon Papers,” a top-secret Defense Department study on the United States political and military involvement in Vietnam from 1945 through 1967. On the 40th anniversary, this Monday, June 13th, the government will mark the study as declassified and release it to the public in its entirety.
On Saturday, June 11 at 6:00pm ET, tune in to C-SPAN Radio to hear the landmark 1971 Supreme Court Oral Argument as the Nixon Administration attempted to prevent the New York Times and Washington Post from publishing the Pentagon Papers.
On Sunday, June 12 at 5:20pm ET, tune in to American History TV on C-SPAN 3 to view a panel discussion from 2006, marking the 35th anniversary of when the New York Times first published the story. Panelists included Daniel Ellsberg who first leaked the study to the New York Times.
Along with C-SPAN, and C-SPAN 2, both C-SPAN 3 and C-SPAN Radio are available to stream LIVE online, anytime:

Government-recorded Hearings Now Being Added to C-SPAN
Carl Malamud was instrumental in getting more videos recorded by the Congressional committees themselves released to C-SPAN.
- Government-recorded Hearings Now Being Added to the Video Library C-SPAN Video Library Blog (March 18, 2011).
“The C-SPAN Video Library now contains committee hearings produced by House and Senate committees. C-SPAN can only record a limited number of committees every day. However, a number of House and Senate committees have installed their own equipment to webcast their committee proceedings. These webcasts are now scattered across House and Senate committee websites or not available at all. In order to enhance the offerings of the C-SPAN Video Library and to consolidate these hearings in one place, we are importing government produced committee video into the Video Library.”

C-SPAN Video Library Blog
Gary Price at ResourceShelf alerted us to this:
- C-SPAN Video Library Blog.
The C-SPAN Archives records, indexes, and archives all C-SPAN programming for historical, educational, research, and archival uses. Every C-SPAN program aired since 1987, now totaling over 157,000 hours, is contained in the C-SPAN Archives and immediately accessible through the database and electronic archival systems developed and maintained by the C-SPAN Archives.
The C-SPAN Video Archive is an incredible resource. Gary points out that the blog keeps you updated on new features and special content available in the video archive. “Recent posts include info about content featuring Justice Stevens, enhancements to the video player, and two new search features. One of them is a nickname search.”
C-SPAN archives online
C-SPAN has posted their archives online. That’s 23 years worth, 160,000 hours – online (almost all of their content). This is extremely cool. Get ready to waste a chunk of time today going through their archive. It should be noted that while all their programming is available, popular programs like Book TV are not embeddable (although you CAN send the link to facebook, twitter etc). Go ahead and browse the committee list for a little vicarious legislating 🙂

C-SPAN complains about closed health care meetings
C-SPAN complains about private health talks, by Foon Rhee, Boston Globe (January 5, 2010).
Democrats’ apparent decision to come up with a final health care bill not only behind closed doors but within a very select group of negotiators is drawing criticism not only from expected quarters, but from the media.
