By Newt Gingrich (Original source News Week)
“On March 19, 1979, C-SPAN began its first broadcast of the United States House of Representatives. The first on-camera speaker was then Representative Al Gore of Tennessee. It was a tremendous breakthrough in allowing citizens to see the House live and without editing or bias. The man who thought it through and made it possible is Brian Lamb.
Brian Lamb, an Indiana born graduate of Purdue University, is one of the great social entrepreneurs of our lifetime.
