What I usually tell people is that basically copyrights are eternal. No copyright has really expired in the U.S. in the last 20 years. Every time something comes close, they just extend the time.
Anyway, the entire video is not available for broadcast and they will not copy the entire video. They will make copies of 30 sec intervals for research and documentary use. Cost depends on use, and how many people will see it and how many times it will be distributed. Home video rights are a separate license (how annoying). I've been told the clip of Eisenhower pushing the button to go from B&W to Color is cheaper. Anything else would require the digital master to be pulled and a duplication of the piece (you pay for that as well).
Well, sorry, dead end. But it was interesting to try
