Description
Sound recording of the radio program "Face Off." Senator Edward M. "Ted" Kennedy of Massachusetts and Senator Alan K. "Al" Simpson of Wyoming debate the idea of requiring television sets to make closed captions available without the need for a separate decoding box. They anticipate that this would make TV more accessible to the deaf and hearing impaired, and also help teach children to read. The episode aired on Wednesday, August 22, 1990, on the Mutual Broadcasting System.
