I was looking for a transcript of Ron Paul's March 1999 speech on the floor of the House "U.S. Military Action Taking Place in Serbia is Unconstitutional" (also known under "Burning bridges: Attacks on Kosovo unjustified, shameful") and had to exert quite a bit of effort to locate it.
The speech isn't available through Paul's current official congressional website (http://paul.house.gov) which seems to have recently been renewed. With the renewal all the original links to speeches/articles have stopped working (e.g. http://paul.house.gov/tst/).
The speech used to be in the Ron Paul Library at http://www.ronpaullibrary.org/document.php?id=90 but the library no longer exists and refers to the archives over at lewrockwell.org (http://www.lewrockwell.com/paul/paul-arch.html). However, I can't find this particular article/speech in those archives either.
Through some heavy Google-fu I eventually found the specific speech I was looking for mirrored on some obscure sites and through the speech content I stumbled upon the speech in the C-SPAN video library (http://c-spanarchives.org/videoLibrary/clip.php?appid=596662682).
The fact that the official congressional website doesn't have the complete archives makes me a little sad, but I'm quite happy that C-SPAN does.
Anybody know if I'm supposed to be looking elsewhere?
