When not used for political or commercial purposes, congressional floor proceedings are made available to senators and congressmen as well as to the public. Guidelines for Requests to Copy Congressional Floor Proceedings Persons requesting copies of U.S. Senate and House floor proceedings must be prepared to sign an order form which states the material duplicated will not be used for political or commercial purposes. Requestor is responsible for researching the information necessary to place an order, i.e., date of proceeding, beginning and ending times to be duplicated. The Congressional Record is the usual source for this material. For each additional clip ordered, five minutes will be added to the total time.
Prepayment is required.
The Standard Service turn-around time is four to six weeks from the date that payment is received. Rush Service guarantees that the order will be completed no later than seven working days from the date that payment is received. The user bears responsibility for materials and services ordered. Tapes may not be returned for refund or exchange. Cost varies depending on videotape format and duration to be copied.
