FOI FYI reports that the Senate Judicary Committee voted in favor of allowing video coverage of Supreme Court arguments unless “a majority of justices believes that the coverage would infringe on an appellant's right to a fair trial.”
FOI FYI also reports that the “House Committee on Natural Resources will hold a hearing on "New fees for Filming and Photography on Public lands" Wednesday, Dec. 12, and you can tune in to the live webcast, starting 10 a.m. at http://resourcescommittee.house.gov/.” The hearing is to discuss proposed new “fees on documentaries, audio taping, commercial photography, and any still photography [on public land] that the [Department of Interior] feels is ‘inappropriate.’"
