mr. sullivan had a comparatively extensive criminal arrest record, from narcotics to crimes against persons, battery and aggravated battery, probation violations. he had a reasonably extensive record. >> when police went to henry sullivan's apartment, they found a vintage red 1971 chevrolet cheyenne pickup truck parked outside his apartment. incredibly, the truck belonged to the murder victims, richard and karla van dusen. >> it had been completely restored. it was a classic truck. it was a definite eye catcher, and, in fact, what i would describe as a one-of-a-kind pickup truck. >> when questioned, henry sullivan denied any involvement in the murders. with his driver's license found at the crime scene, it looked like an open and shut case. but it was just the beginning. c. but a lot of us leave our identities unprotected. nearly half a million cars were stolen in 2012. but for every car stolen, 34 people had their identities stolen. identity thieves can steal your money, damage your credit, and wreak havoc on your life. why risk it when you can help protect yourself from identity theft wit

mr. sullivan: mr. president i'd like to say a few words on the nuclear agreement that's being negotiated with iran. i want to start by commending the members of the foreign relations committee particular ly senator corker, the chairman of that committee where they moved the corker-menendez bill through the committee a few days ago with a unanimous vote. very important work, it's a good start to a critically important topic for the american people. and i know it was a struggle. we read about it in the press what happened, but it's important to recognize it's a struggle that should not have been. the obama administration put tremendous pressure on members of this body, democratic members of this body, not to allow the united states senate to have any say on this issue. one of the most important foreign policy issues facing the country right now. they wanted the american people not to have a voice. in fact, last month when the bill was released, the president vowed to veto it. he backed off only when it w

mr. sullivan helped us with aviation issues we were dealing with this year. again not seen a job in terms of putting together a strong mark. the chairman said everything from aircraft carriers down to addressing the needs of our reserve fleet with training vessels for young maritime leaders that the future are included in this mark which again is critically necessary. the only point i want to underscore is that the national deterrent find which we created last year is that debated this year as a result of its mark. when we had our first ship in one-on-one subcommittee hearing with the department of the navy she won't do the shipbuilding plan the next 30 years. if we don't deal with the issue in terms of absolutely essential component of our national defense from a fee-based deterrence platform that must be replaced and will be replaced. if it all comes out of the account, we will at this rate the size of our fleet and i think what the chairman smart guys in activating and funding the national fee-based deterrence fun site among presidents which rias for the m

mr. pratt: dr. sullivan? dr. sullivan: one country we haven't mentioned here is china. and they are very much involved in the situation, including developing two of the largest oil field in iran under sanctions. i don't think the issue isn't application of two tough sanctions. it is an issue of not applying the sanctions we already have. the chinese imports 60% of iran's oil exports. they built a real system. they built roads. they were very much involved in iran. the russians are very much involved. that is another country we have maybe mentioned once or twice in here. it is not just the u.s.. we have lost leverage. some people in the city think we can do some ink and the world jumps. this is a different world. china is a powerful country. russia is not as powerful in its economy. it is degraded, and its leaders or something else. but the chinese are a powerful country that wants more influence in the middle east and they are moving into every single country. it is one of few countries that helped saudi arabia and iran at the same time. they support the palestinians an

sullivan: to put this into perspective, this is the white house document. this is it. mr.ratt: -- even if iran's intent is to build nuclear energy, what language should be insisted upon in the final agreement to safeguard and avoid nuclear actions like tokushima? -- fukushima. dr. anthony: this is an issue of real concern, in terms of one of the sites. the one it nearest to the gulf and the other gulf countries. because of the sanctions because of the nonexistent relations between tehran and washington, diplomatically and formally, there could be such an accident. iran has had a history of earthquakes. so has turkey. they are part of a different tectonic plate than those of arabia. so there is a legitimate fear, what if there is an earthquake in that region? they -- their fear is that there would be spillage and linkage, and that this would be contaminating and pose an immediate, direct threat to the water desalination plants in kuwait, bahrain, qatar, and elsewhere. and ships may refuse to come into the gulf until this is dealt with and cleaned up. that is more than a nig
