>> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news." i'm jericka duncan in new york. thanks for staying with us. there's a battle brewing right now on capitol hill over what you are allowed to see on the floor of the house of representatives. for decades now c-span cameras have been ordered to shoot only static shots. it dates back to 1979 when former congressman newt gingrich was giving an angry speech to an empty chamber. then speaker tip o'neill ordered the cameras to show he was preaching to no one. and soon those cameras were locked down. except for special occasions like the recent be vote for speaker.

well, there's now a growing chorus of people seeking to keep the cameras rolling. scott macfarlane reports. >> reporter: one late friday night in america the floor of the u.s. house of representatives saw more action and drama than netflix. plot twists, arm twists, and a different type of political restraint. the 15-round battle over who'd be speaker of the u.s. house unfolded during one of the rare moments in which extra cameras are allowed inside the u.s. house chamber. >> that's putting americans in the room. that's showing them just what happened. not doing so would be hiding what happened. >> reporter: every two years the cable public affairs service c-span receives permission to record house proceedings on the opening day of congress before a speaker is voted in. this time that window spanned not just a few hours but four dramatic photogenic days. >> that was remarkable watching that exchange on the floor.

you never would have seen that from the standard government-operated feed. >> reporter: with the speaker finally chosen, the house has reverted back to its government-operated feed, allowing only a few fixed distant cameras controlled by government staff. here's what this dramatic moment would have looked like had it occurred without c-span's cameras inside. >> you think these cameras should permanently be in the house xham behr. >> reporter: absolutely. >> wisconsin congressman mark pokan and some colleagues are from both parties are urging leaders to permanently give america the better view. >> some of us midwesterners kind of shun the cameras quite honestly. he we don't gravitate toward them. we drink water and eat air instead for survival. but it's important for people to see what is happening. >> reporter: c-span says it's made that request before, for more than 40 years, and been rebuffed every time. what's the resistance? why didn't this happen years ago? >> you would have to ask every speaker going back to tip

o'neill. >> reporter: sometimes they don't answer at all. >> correct. >> reporter: his spokesman tells cbs news house speaker kevin mccarthy is seeking to make the house chamber more transparent. well, some of his colleagues osc him to allow more lights, more cameras, and a better view of the action. >> that again was scott macfarlane on capitol hill. well, for the first time in nearly 50 years the u.s. senate is convening without vermont senator patrick leahy. he retired last year as the fourth longest-serving senator in u.s. history. leahy has a new book about his decades in office, and he sat down to discuss it all with robert costa. >> there's an inscription on the side of the dirksen senate office building and it he reads, "the senate is the living symbol of our union of states." is it? >> the senate should be the conscience of the nation. >> is the senate failing now?

>> the senate has become so bitterly divided on things that they shouldn't be divided on. >> will all senators now rise and raise their right hand. >> reporter: political divisions are the bookends to the long career ofr leahy. >> this is not the swamp. i think this is where democracy can be and should be. >> reporter: leahy was sent to washington in the wake of watergate. an idealistic 34-year-old prosecutor. you're elected in 1974. a watergate baby. now you're about to leave the senate after an attack on the u.s. capitol. what does that say to you? >> part of it says to me have we learned something? does anybody read a book on history? january 6th shook me to the core because i thought back to the really wonderful men and women

i've served with over all these years, in both parties, who would not have stood for this. >> reporter: for his new memoir, published by simon & schuster, part of cbs parent company paramount global, leahy plays off the title of the robert frost poem "the road not taken." indeed, united states senator was an unlikely career path for the young attorney. and when leahy arrived in congress, he intended to keep his head down. not easy when you stand 6'2". you really wanted to blend into the background most of the time. >> oh, i did. i sat in the first caucus, i came and i sat way in the back row against the wall. next thing i knew hubert humphrey, scoop jackson and a couple other very senior ones come and sit beside me. they said boy, you learn fast. i said what do you mean? you sit here so if it gets boring you can sneak out without anyone seeing you. >> one i'd like to have you read the report. >> interpreter: leahy's no nonsense approach endeared him to the old lions of the senate.

but his quiet composure has long hidn a crusader's zeal. last year when chief justice john roberts declined to preside over donald trump's second impeachment trial leahy took on the task. >> the nays are 43, and he is hereby acquitted of the charge in said article. >> what would it have meant for the country if more republicans had voted to convict trump in that trial? >> i think it would have helped the country. i don't say this as a partisan thing. it would have sent word to the country in the same way that barry goldwater told richard nixon you've broken the law, it's time to go. i wish more had been willing to stand up and saying this was wrong. they'd say it privately. won't say it publicly. >> reporter: there's no place where the public and private sides of politics come together more than in rooms like this. leahy's so-called hideaway. amid photos of his life of 60

years, marcell, and their family. it's where senators brokered an end to the 2019 government shutdown. >> i can just do he ahead and take pictures -- >> reporter: and where leahy can just be himself. >> got him. getting your crew. >> no, that's enough. >> there, i got you. >> too close. >> reporter: an avid photographer, leahy has lined the walls with photos of his home state. >> i was born basically blind in one eye, and things that require depth perception like baseball or whatnot are more difficult. you only need one eye for photographery. >> reporter: the vermont senator has another far more unusual sideline. >> you remind me of my father. i hated my father. >> reporter: he's been a bit player in several batman movies. a lifelong fan of the caped crusader, leahy has spent his career working power of their o.

the poor, the hungry, children and victims of landmines. though he is the fourth longest-serving senator in u.s. history, with the trappings of seniority to show for it, leahy is the first of his family to have attended college, and he's not afraid to take the gloves off. he opposed all of donald trump's supreme court nominees. >> trump claims he has an absolute right to pardon himself. does he? >> reporter: taking particular umbrage during the brett kavanagh hearings. >> there were a lot of people who should have been questioned in this last round by the fbi, but the trump white house said they couldn't. >> what do you make of senator collins and senator manchin saying justice kavanagh misled them during the confirmation hearings? >> i was in that hearing. i wasn't misled. i believed the charges against him. and i believed that the white

house stymied a full investigation. the fbi did not do a complete investigation. it was rushed through so he could not have a complete investigation. and it was a farce. but that's my view. >> reporter: the biden years have proven happier for leahy. and though he is only three years older than the president, he's not advising biden to follow suit and retire. should he run in 2024? >> that's going to have to be his decision. if he does i'll support him. >> because there's something about gettinging to a certain age where you start to maybe reflect about the crossroads of life. >> really? and when does that happen, bob? >> well, you tell me, sir. >> i've got to read the book "the road taken." i've got to find out when that time is. >> are you going to miss all of this? >> i'm going to miss this view. i've taken an awful lot of pictures. >> reporter: as patrick leahy prepares to descend from his position of power in washington,

his thoughts turn to the next generation of leaders. and to the young man he once was. >> if you could go back to 1974 and tap the 34-year-old you on the shoulder and give him a little advice, what would you tell him? >> i'd tell him things that look impossible aren't if you work hard enough at it. it's not going to be done with press releases and look how great i am. it's going to be done with just it's going to be done with just st (peaceful music) - time to get up, sweetie!

there's a treasure hunt under way in the netherlands. officials published an old map believed to show where german soldiers hid riches looted during world war ii. and that has touched off quite a frenzy. tina kraus explains. >> reporter: if x marks the spot, that sound means treasure hunter jan hinsen could be getting closer. he says, "i'm quite tickled. i've been searching this yarp for 30 years and have found some nice roman objects but i never knew nazi treasure was buried here." the dutch national archive revealed the news, posting a treasure map online that was kept hidden for 75 years under the official secrets act.

this archives official says the red crosses show where four boxes of treasure are buried. millions of dollars' worth of treasure. she says there are broaches, necklaces, silver and gold coins, rubies, diamonds, lots of valuables. modern-day explorers are descending on the dutch town, which was on the front line in world war ii, hoping to uncover the booty german soldiers looted after a bank explosion in 1944. the town's mayor says it's all pretty fascinating but he's a bit afraid. "i just don't want people to start digging haphazardly," he says, "or it will get out of hand." hinzen is still on the hunt. he says, quit think it's buried here, and i'm not the only one because i already see some big holes in the ground." more clues in a race for riches that may never be won. tina kraus, cbs news. and that is the overnight
