English: President George W. Bush congratulates C-SPAN founder Brian Lamb and his wife Victoria during the presentation of the Presidential Medal of Freedom Monday, Nov. 5, 2007, in the East Room. "For nearly 30 years, the proceedings of the House of Representatives have been televised -- unfiltered, uninterrupted, unedited, and live," said the President. "For this we can thank the Cable-Satellite Public Affairs Network, or C-SPAN. And for C-SPAN, we can thank a visionary American named Brian Lamb." White House photo by Eric Draper
