As reported yesterday on nytimes.com:

“WASHINGTON — Researchers, political satirists and partisan mudslingers, take note: C-Span has uploaded virtually every minute of its video archives to the Internet. The archives, at C-SpanVideo.org, cover 23 years of history and five presidential administrations and are sure to provide new fodder for pundits and politicians alike. The network will formally announce the completion of the C-Span Video Library on Wednesday.”

Video shown is President Carter’s address on July 15, 1979.

President Carter addressed the nation about the ongoing energy crisis and about the mood of America as a result of the crisis. He expressed concern that American democracy was threatened by “crisis of confidence” in which cynicism toward government had eroded faith in the American way of life.
