House Rules and Procedures for Broadcast Coverage of Congress

Rule V, Clause 1

Broadcasting the House

The Speaker shall administer a system subject to his direction and control for closed-circuit viewing of floor proceedings of the House in the offices of all Members, Delegates, the Resident Commissioner, and committees and in such other places in the Capitol and the House Office Buildings as he considers appropriate. Such system may include other telecommunications functions as the Speaker considers appropriate. Any such telecommunications shall be subject to rules and regulations issued by the Speaker.

(a) The Speaker shall administer a system subject to his direction and control for complete and unedited audio and visual broadcasting and recording of the proceedings of the House. The Speaker shall provide for the distribution of such broadcasts and recordings to news media, for the storage of audio and video recordings of the proceedings, and for the closed-captioning of the proceedings for hearing-impaired persons.

(b) All television and radio broadcasting stations, networks, services, and systems (including cable systems) that are accredited to the House Radio and Television Correspondents' Galleries, and all radio and television correspondents who are so accredited, shall be provided access to the live coverage of the House.

(c) Coverage made available under this clause, including any recording thereof-- may not be used for any political purpose; may not be used in any commercial advertisement; and may not be broadcast with commercial sponsorship except as part of a bona fide news program or public affairs documentary program.

The Speaker may delegate any of his responsibilities under this rule to such legislative entity as he considers appropriate.

EC just did a whole hour on the drilling/house fiasco on blog talk radio. It was great we had a ball.

[Salvation]

**Nine percent Nancy will be tarred and feathered with this issue.**

High prices for gasoline?

 

It's Nancy's fault.

 

She, alone, would not allow a vote on DRILLING!

 

Freep her office!

You have to send Nancy’s email to:

Pelosi’s actions are un-American!

If a Republican was doing this, the media would be covering it 24/7!

[penelopesire]

Darn....missed it. Is she on everyday?

[rodguy911]

The rats are busy trying to make sure everything else is banned, they are all in a tizzy about banning everything we could possibly use to cover our guys there.

[rodguy911]

EC and HC(Honest Conservative) have a ping list,get on it. They will put you on it. HC is on at 8 eastern with William Russell. I am too tired to do more radio,that was my fourth show this week. I'm through for the nite.

[penelopesire]

WOW..I have been meaning to listen to blogtalk for awhile, just never got around to it. Thanks for the head’s up.

[free_life]

Lets tack the media’s bias in not reporting this onto this call for a vote to drill.

I would like to see hundreds of thousands asking the media why they blackout the peoples business.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

“they are all in a tizzy about banning everything we could possibly use to cover our guys there.”

And Americans hate censorship. You’re right. My suggestions could get them in trouble. Maybe one is going to retire soon anyway?

I’m no lawyer, but someone told me this one time:

“Lex mala, lex nulla. A bad law is no law whatsoever.”

Leftwing Blogosphere in Uproar Over Obama Oil Drilling Switch

It will not mean much if they can not break the media embargo. I was listening to the Ed Morrissey Show Friday when it broke. We were surfing channels and websites looking for news. Apart from Politico, FR, a few blogs and a short bit on Fox there was either nothing or disparaging reports. They had 50 Congressmen on the floor and it got little coverage. Politico reports that only about a dozen are committed to show Monday. Even the leadership (Boehner and Blunt) are expected to skip it. That will not do it. I am writing emails and making calls but to be honest, I am more hoping than expecting at this point. With any luck, I am totally wrong on this.

[DJ MacWoW]

Well we honestly did not expect anything different from her. I believe that we’re just surprised at how brazen her actions are and no one calling her on it.

[EBH]

Or better yet...that she got freeped while on her book tour?

Bush has abdicated his leadership of the party.

Its up for grabs and these guys look like they just might take charge.

[DJ MacWoW]

They need us to keep shouting. It worked with illegal amnesty. If the shouting continues, and more people join, it will be hard to ignore.

[Man50D]

We need to keep up the pressure to force this vote by continuing to contact our representatives. Toll free Capital switchboard numbers are:
