Courting Australia, U.S. Keeps Watchful Eye on China's Power
Tonight on the program, President Obama announces that more than 2,000 U.S. troops will head to Australia, but he stopped short of saying the move was meant as a message to China. Also, executive pay at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac comes under scrutiny in front of Congress and we have a report on the costs of dental coverage in rural Alaska. Finally, four astronauts win the highest civilian honor.
