	DoD News: Secretary Rumsfeld Interview with NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, WETA TV
		Lehrer: It's been suggested that you are emphasizing only the upside of this, and that you haven't talked publicly about, hey, wait a minute, they may not -- they may resist, they may do this, they may do that, thousands and thousands of people could die, including a lot of Americans.
		Lehrer: And there are a lot of what they call -- the private aid groups have been on this program and elsewhere saying that there has been very little coordination with them from the U.S. government, they're prepared to help out and all that, and they're waiting for the calls.
		Lehrer: But, it has not given you any pause at all to consider whether or not, the numbers you just laid out, that aside, that the message as to why this military action may have to be taken has not gotten through to everyone.

	Scoop: Rumsfeld Interview with Jim Lehrer, News Hour, PBS
		JIM LEHRER: And to the Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
		LEHRER: Speaking of time, there have been several stories in the last few days in the newspapers that you and your colleagues in the military are concerned about a military action against Iraq, because of the weather.
		LEHRER: But, in terms of what's going on with the U.N. now, would you concede that at least what that letter did, we'll go back to where we started, the letter from Iraq, has slowed a process, or the process down.

	MediaChannel.org - A Global Network of More Than 1,000 Media Issues Groups
		NEW YORK, April 15, 2004 -- When the anchor of public television's main news program goes out of his way to tell viewers that he's setting the record straight about a recent historic event, the people watching are apt to assume that they're getting accurate information.
		Or, if Lehrer did not have such a citation, I asked if there were plans for an on-air correction to set the factual record straight on the program (which reaches nearly 3 million viewers across the United States each night).
		Lehrer's refusal to correct his evident error is especially striking because he had emphasized his incorrect statement on the air by immediately adding: "I just want to get that on the record." (My request to a NewsHour spokesperson for a direct comment from Lehrer did not yield any statement from him.)

		Lehrer: As you know, during the campaign he said he was concerned about the readiness of the U.S. military.

		Lehrer: Were you ever confronted with a situation where you had to make a decision that you felt might be good for a defense policy or whatever and for President Clinton and yet might be harmful to your party, the Republican Party?

	The News Hour With Jim Lehrer Interview of the Deputy Secretary of State on China
		If they decide to be obstinate to these talks, one of the ways that we would know that is if they absolutely refuse to discuss the return of the aircraft, and then it may indicate that they are not so concerned about a workmanlike relationship.
		LEHRER: You were involved in many of the negotiations or the discussions with the Chinese over these last 12 days.
		Lehrer, and I'm not quite sure who is going to claim exact paternity for this.

		But since shortly after New Year's, it has been reimbursing the U.S. government millions for alleged overcharges, and last month the Pentagon launched a criminal investigation of allegations of fraud by a Halliburton subsidiary.

	Interview by Margaret Warner of the News Hour with Jim Lehrer
		Columnist Jim Hoagland put it that US diplomacy had been devalued in India's eyes because the assurances that you gave to India in June -- Musharraf has given us his word this is going to end, or close to end -- haven't happened.
		And I pointed out that the US view was it was very important that President Musharraf be able to show a return to civilian-controlled democracy and a path to that democracy, and we had a good discussion on this.
		Former Secretary of State Baker, as you know, has written that he thinks that would be a good idea; the US should support that as a precursor to any military action.

		But to have somebody else come in and substitute a new system because the Iraqis are complaining is a real travesty.

		Of course, there is a place on television for Idol, for reality shows and sitcoms; room for television dramas that take their storyline from the news, and even room for news coverage that often seems like its taking cues from television dramas; there is probably even room for another CSI spin-off.
		The panel's report will be the beginning, not the end, as we will launch a national dialog to share the vision of how the trusted, valued assets of public broadcasting will be fully optimized to connect with the needs of citizens of all ages in every community.
		There is one possibility for new revenues that must be mentioned: a new bill was introduced last week on the Hill to secure some of the projected proceeds for public television from the analog spectrum auction.
