Here's the link.... (and a little background...) In 1979, the U.S. cable television industry created C-SPAN in order to put the U.S. House of Representatives on satellite, becoming the first television channel anywhere committed to live, gavel- to-gavel coverage of its national legislature. C- SPAN has since committed itself to assisting other organizations and individuals wanting to bring coverage of their legislatures to television. Approximately 23 countries have brought delegations to tour C-SPAN's headquarters in Washington. As television has come to various national parliamentary chambers, C-SPAN television has provided coverage of many countries' legislative debates. In that same spirit of information-sharing, C- SPAN.org has created this clearinghouse of televised legislatures around the world. http://www.c-span.org/international/links.asp * * * "Murray Charters" <[log in to unmask]> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
