Title

Federal News Service - Congressional Transcripts Online

Description

Federal News Service was founded in 1985 in response to an urgent and growing need for immediate verbatim transcripts of government briefings, speeches, press conferences and other newsmaker events to the many domestic and international news bureaus in Washington, D. C. Quickly, FNS assumed a broader mandate and began to transcribe Congressional hearings, National Press Club speeches, and significant events such as conferences at Brookings Institution, Carnegie Endowment and broadcast interviews with opinion leaders.

Government agencies, news media bureaus, public affairs representatives and other Washington opinion makers quickly grew to rely on FNS as their Window on Washington. Shortly thereafter, FNS introduced its Washington Daybook, a schedule of events occurring in Washington today, tomorrow and the next week or more.

FNS became nationally prominent with its transcript coverage of the Iran-Contra hearings, which became an "instant" paperback book distributed throughout bookstores across the U.S. The demand for verbatim transcripts of more and more congressional hearings increased, and FNS now produces transcripts of most major hearings to its large database of clients within 24 hours - and many are completed the day the hearing occurs!
