the procession for jimmy carter, who was a navy veteran, included a motorcade to the u.s.al memorial, then a horse-drawn caisson procession to the capitol. on the east front where carter took the oval office in 1977. where a casket sitting on the same wooden framework used for abraham lincoln after lincoln's assassination in 1865. a formal and elaborate set of honors for a former president who was known to refuse some of the trappings of his office. carter famously carried his own bags and banned the playing of "hail to the chief" when he was in the white house. his death and the services for the longest-living u.s. president come at a pivotal moment in washington, as one administration gives way to another. >> he served the people, and he left the world better than he found it. >> reporter: congressional leaders laid wreaths and recalled carter's unlikely ascendant from a small-town georgia peanut farmer to leader of the free world. >> for the remainder of his life, the longest post-presidency of any american president, ever, he focused on making the lives of his fellow m

harder than anything he did in the navy. so his support has made a huge difference. also, my faith is very important to me. and i am grateful. after 20 years, i have actually grown stronger in my faith. spending more time in prayer and really seeking what god would have for me each day has played a very important role in keeping me going and keeping -- being able to just rise above the mire at times. and to believe that god is at work in our lives here on capitol hill and in our nation. >>congressman dan kildee, you we first elected to congress in 2012. you are retiring after six terms. walk us through your decision. well, it's interesting, this decision that i made to retire this year was made 13 years ago. my wife and i had a very specific conversation, having been an observer of congress for a long time. i always wanted to be here and be a part of it. but i also knew that i was not going to make it my life's career. i would come and do this for a season of my life. originally, my wife and i thought about ten years being r

and we got the navy to go out and pick these people up. wasn't a very popular thing at the time, but i think it proved to be a great step forward because the first thing these poor people on the boat saw were may the american navy trying to help them to save their lives and set them on a new way. i don't think they'll ever get over that. and that was carter's leadership. when you went up to the hill to talk to your former colleagues about these kinds of issues, did they get it? some of them did. some of them still got no, no. we had to work on it, but we had pretty good support on the hill. i would say in both parties. um, and as one of the positive memories i have of that time, we, we spent a lot of time. the main thing that people are afraid of it is that senators are afraid of it. they'd say, you're right, i know you're right, but you know, i got to get elected. and this is not going to be very popular. and i remember we got some of them. i can remember a couple of them said, okay, i'm going to vote. i'm going to vote for you, but i'm g

they charge more for our navy than they charge for newbies of other countries. they laugh at us because they think we are stupid, but we are not stupid any more. so the panama canal is under discussion with them right now. they violated every aspect of the agreement and the immorally violated it also. and they want help because it is leaking and not in good repair. and they want us to give $3 billion to help fix it. i said, why don't you get the money from china? because china has taken it over basically. china is at both ends of the panama canal and banning it. is at both ends of the panama canaland banning it. and is at both ends of the panama canal and banning it. and they come to see this biting, this guy who should never have been allowed even to run for president, of course she shouldn't have either. but they want $3 billion to fix the panama canal that is run by china makes a lot of money, one of the most profitable structures ever built because you have ships lined up back to florida frankly and they keep going through and the numbers are staggering, hal

. >> i think he mentioned especially the navy helicopter, we have an agreement so there is to allow limited the state so yes, there's a level certification which we are ready support. cnet operational today authorization has been given but we have to work with california a negative so in providing violent and marine corps can't air station. >> you got personnel who are trained but this is the initiative anticipating this. >> we plan for a request to be made from states and north, has to be able to quickly allocate resources and people while maintaining day-to-day responsibilities and jobs so the commander has to think about all of this anticipate the request we could get natural disaster. the commander will make the decision to move and prepare assets so they are ready to go. i now this is what's allocated and requested he could do support change as things go on right now this is all i have. >> look so far requested? everything just getting ready to engage? >> i'm not going to speak for california, we are not the only agency they are making the request to. it's important to note with any na
