The State Department Spokesman, or the alternate, generally briefs the State Department press corps ON THE RECORD, ON CAMERA each workday afternoon in the Carl T. Rowan Press Briefing Room, room 2209 in the Harry S. Truman building of the U.S. Department of State.

A mult-box is available.  While most video camera positions on the risers are assigned, two unassigned positions are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. TV lighting is available. The official transcript of the briefing will be posted on the Department's website later that day. Reporters who wish to attend can confirm that a briefing will be held and at what time through the Daily Appointment Schedule.
