[0:04] years. We'll look at his remarkable
[0:06] career.
[0:07] And in our Meet the Press Minute, Fidel
[0:09] Castro comes to America. When he was
[0:11] here back in 1959,
[0:13] he had lots to say on Meet the Press.
[0:16] And joining me in the questioning this
[0:17] morning is Lisa Myers of NBC News. And
[0:21] gentlemen, we welcome you all. Thank
[0:22] you. Senator Domenici, you're out there
[0:24] in New Mexico. Let me start with you.
[0:26] God's country. God's country.
