At Issue; Who Rules the Senate? : Slowdown in Congress
Description:
The pilot program, now in the planning stage, follows the above pattern. Douglass Cater will serve as host-analyst on the subject AT ISSUE: Slowdown in Congress. Views will be solicited, via film interviews, with Senators Russell, Clark and Mansfield; Representatives Bolling and McCormack, and one or two others. Present plans are to use the imminent contest over Civil Rights legislation as the point of entry into the story and to move from there into consideration of the broader array of Congressional practices and processes which interfere with its capacity to do its business expeditiously. Running Time: 28:32 At Issue consists of 69 half-hour and hour-long episodes produced in 1963-1966 by NET, which were originally shot on videotape in black and white and color.
