This resolution recognizes June 2, 2025, as the 39th anniversary of C-SPAN (Cable-Satellite Public Affairs Network) chronicling Senate proceedings, highlighting the network's significant contribution to transparency in American democracy. The resolution emphasizes C-SPAN2's unique role in providing unfiltered, uninterrupted access to Senate debates, votes, and deliberations since its launch in 1986, noting that over 39 years, the network has recorded more than 43,830 hours of Senate sessions, capturing 169,000 speeches from 359 different Senators across political parties. The resolution also acknowledges that C-SPAN operates without public funding, instead being supported by cable and satellite television operators, and calls for all television providers, including streaming services, to prioritize delivering C-SPAN to enable Americans to watch congressional proceedings in real time. By recognizing C-SPAN's importance, the resolution underscores the network's critical function in maintaining governmental transparency and providing citizens direct access to legislative processes.
