[S. Res. 259 Agreed to Senate
(ATS) ]
<DOC>
119th CONGRESS
1st Session
S. RES. 259
Recognizing June 2, 2025, as the 39th anniversary of C-SPAN chronicling
democracy in the Senate.
_______________________________________________________________________
IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
June 2, 2025
Mr. Grassley (for himself, Ms. Klobuchar, Mr. Wyden, and Mr. Young)
submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee
on the Judiciary
June 18, 2025
Committee discharged; considered and agreed to
_______________________________________________________________________
RESOLUTION
Recognizing June 2, 2025, as the 39th anniversary of C-SPAN chronicling
democracy in the Senate.
Whereas, for nearly 4 decades, Cable-Satellite Public Affairs Network (C-SPAN)
has served as an essential conduit between the United States Senate and
the American public;
Whereas, since its launch on June 2, 1986, the channel C-SPAN2 has offered
uninterrupted, unfiltered access to the debates, votes, and
deliberations of the Senate;
Whereas, over the course of 39 years, C-SPAN2 has recorded more than 43,830
hours of Senate sessions, capturing more than 169,000 speeches that span
the spectrum of political thoughts, policy debates, and personal
testimony;
Whereas these recordings preserve the voices of 359 different Senators,
including 185 Republicans, 167 Democrats, and 7 Independents, across
nearly 4 decades of service;
Whereas C-SPAN2 has documented more than 23,493 roll call votes, each a building
block of American law and policy, a living ledger of Senate decision-
making;
Whereas C-SPAN operates without public funding or government oversight;
Whereas the continued availability and success of C-SPAN is due to the funding
provided by cable and satellite television operators in the United
States; and
Whereas all television providers, including streaming services, should make
delivery of C-SPAN a priority so Americans can watch Congress in action,
in real time: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate recognizes--
(1) June 2, 2025, as the 39th anniversary of C-SPAN
chronicling democracy in the Senate; and
(2) the importance of continuous Senate coverage for all
Americans and the need for live coverage to be accessible on
all platforms.
