CSPAN 3/14/05

Prepared by the CSPAN WATCH team.

There is some confusion about the Washington Journal phone-in numbers.

Posted to the website:
Washington Journal: Democrats (202) 585-3881
Washington Journal: Republicans (202) 585-3880
Washington Journal: Others (202) 585-3882

Graphics on the TV screen:
See the screen or yesterday's post.

I'll venture a guess the screen is correct and the website is late in being updated.

We have an unanswered message in to the producers.

Of course, you can always submit a question via their website -

TOMORROW'S OUTLOOK

The GOP Leadership has announced the following schedule: on Tuesday, the House will meet at 9:00 a.m. for morning hour and at 10:00 a.m. for legislative business. The House is expected to consider: H.R.___ – Emergency Supplemental Wartime Appropriations Act (Rep. Lewis {CA} – Appropriations) (Subject to a Rule)


"The ethics committee Democrats have two sets of legitimate gripes -- one procedural, the other substantive. The procedural concern is the failure to adhere to the historical, bipartisan method of rewriting ethics rules. Instead, committee Republicans were bypassed, their ordinary role was usurped and the new, rigged rules were written in secret by the leadership. The new rules also pose substantive concerns, the most critical of which provides for the automatic dismissal of a complaint if it's not acted on within as little as 45 days and no longer than 90 days. . . . Mollohan now has a single Republican, Rep. Christopher Shays (Conn.), co-sponsoring his resolution . We would hope that -- especially in light of new ethical questions involving DeLay -- additional members of the majority will sign on, putting the long-term good of the institution ahead of the short-term interests of those with the greatest stake in an ineffectual ethics process.”
