Found footage for use in the 1981 documentary "Rostenkowski," a portrait of the House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dan Rostenkowski, a powerful figure in Chicago (and national) politics. Very staticky footage of Rostenkowski on WMAQ-TV's "Today in Chicago" show with nearly inaudible audio. Talking about having to overcome resistance on the part of the Reagan administration to push through important social programs.
