Season 2011 Episode 3200 | 53m 33s

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.
