Brian Lamb of C-Span has written to House and Senate leaders requesting "that you open all important negotiations, including any conference committee meetings, to electronic media coverage." Remember this is what President Obama promised during his campaign for the presidency. Mr. Lamb's letter was published on National Review Online today (see link below). Here's a clip:
President Obama, Senate and House leaders, many of your rank-and-file members, and the nation’s editorial pages have all talked about the value of transparent discussions on reforming the nation’s health care system. Now that the process moves to the critical stage of reconciliation between the Chambers, we respectfully request that you allow the public full access, through television, to legislation that will affect the lives of every single American.
