On Friday I spoke with the subcommittee's press secretary. He stated there were no coverage plans by any media organizations as yet, and that my documentary crew was welcome to cover the event. My crew and I can provide excellent coverage of this hearing and can make the tapes available to the readership here. But in order to make this happen, we need a modest amount of funding to get there with our gear. Our funds are currently low from our 20-hour coverage of the 2nd Annual Cyberspace Conference in Santa Cruz, and we have yet to film the SRI conference. So the reality is...donations are needed to cover this event. Bob, if you would like to coordinate donations, and a sufficient amount is raised (about 3 to 5K, a real Motel 6 budget) we will cover the event, release the tapes at cost, and account for our expenses. This has to happen quick. I hate to see something like this just evaporate.
