[0:03] From NBC News in Washington, this is
[0:06] Meet the Press with Tim Russert.
[0:10] Welcome again to Meet the Press. Our
[0:11] issues this Sunday morning, taxes and
[0:13] spending. Which taxes will be cut and
[0:15] how will we pay for them? What programs
[0:17] will be reduced or eliminated? And who
[0:19] will be affected? Can the Republicans
[0:21] really cut taxes and still balance the
[0:24] budget? Our guest, four men, all

[1:03] correspondent there, Ed Rael, who has

[1:10] Korea. Ed, what's the latest? Do we

[1:14] they alive? Tim, only the North Koreans
[1:17] know about that. The United States is
[1:19] continuing this morning to demand the
[1:21] immediate release of those two pilots.
