[0:00] many people out as they can. We're going

[0:02] to take you along on some high stakes

[0:03] missions.

[0:04] >> And President Bush is headed back to the

[0:06] region this morning. His schedule

[0:08] completely rearranged after his

[0:10] administration has been slammed for what

[0:12] many people called an unacceptable and

[0:14] slow response to this disaster. Also,

[0:17] new questions today about the man the

[0:55] announcement, if confirmed, would make

[0:57] John Roberts the third youngest Chief

[0:59] Justice ever and the youngest in more

[1:01] than 200 years. The president says the

[1:04] Senate should move quickly because he

[1:05] says senators are already familiar with

[1:08] John Roberts.

[1:10] The past two months, members of the

[1:12] United States Senate

[1:14] and the American people have learned

[1:15] about the career and character of Judge

[1:17] Roberts.
