specifically those use bid the border patrol. properly paying our border ral patrol security personnel and appropriately managing our pay systems are essential to the mission. the application of overtime, specifically auo, the primary compensation system used by the border patrol stretches back many years. established more than 40 years t ago, auo is a payment mechanism that allows for the compensation of certain employees for irregular, unscheduled, but oxia necessary overtime. approximately 77 percent of th auoin pay to dhs goes to employs of cvp including more than 0,00e border patrol agents. in order to be eligible, an employee must be in a position which the hours of duty cannot s beta controlled administrativel and which requires substantial amount of irregular or occasional overtime work. cbp takes seriously the responsibility to ensure the rol proper use of taxpayer funds. while many front line officers and agencies require work hour flexibility, off through the use of auo misuse of the funds is not tolerated. within dhs

i would tell you that those border patrols are doing yeoman's work. they are doing and a credible job. also the bringing together of the inter-agencies, having coast guard corpsmen deal with these kids mail home, most of whom, have never been treated by a doctor or a clinician until they come -- have been encountered by us. fema has done a tremendous job. they know disasters and they know about coordination and they know about engaging the interagency and they know about working closely with state and local. administrator fugate and the men and women of fema have done a great job on this. as you know from secretary johnson's remarks yesterday, he takes his very personally and it's very high on his radar screen, as it is among every member of the obama administration. this group is all working together to ensure that these children are transferred out of our border patrol facilities quickly and they go to health and human services and that they can provide from the moment we encounter them, from the moment we encounter them -- with nutrition, education

corporal wes mecham is patroling at 4:00 a.m.when he spots a man walking on the side of the road. >> i had traveled this road, i couldn't tell you how many times on night shift throughout my career and never -- all those times i travel that had road seen anybody walking that time of night. >> corporal mecham wonders if his car has broken down and he's walking to get help. his dash cam turns on automatically. >> i'm not saying you're doing anything wrong, i'm just asking. we don't get too many people walking this time of night. i said, sir, you mind if i speak to you? he was very compliant. very polite. talked to me in a friendly manner. >> mecham asks to see i.d. and even cracks joke. >> you've been walking a while. them are some wet shoes. >> the man explains he's walking to go buy a soda. aside from the late hour, this doesn't seem unusual to corporal mecham. >> just going to get something to drink or something to eat? >> i'm going to get a soda, sir. >> okay, that's cool. >> what is odd, however, is the man's i.d. >> is that y

>> we're turning them over -- border patrol is turning them over to ice.s in charge of the relocation. we know that some are being bused and being reunited with their family members and a lot of those family members that they are being reunited to are here in the united states. >> do you know of any of these children being sent back to their homes? >> i'm not aware of any at this point. >> yeah, i don't think there are any. we haven't heard of any of them and the adults that come with them also stay. how do they get through mexico? mexico has got a southern border with guatemala. that's not an easy trip going from honduras to al salvador up to here. i'm sure there are mexican kids in there too. how do they get through mexico? >> smuggling organizations within mexico are charging these individuals, these kids a high number of money to bring them into the united states. >> so the parents pay the money down in honduras or whatever and then they get the ticket to take the kid up, right? >> somebody is paying the money. some of these kids that are coming are al

some of the border patrol told me, look, some of us are former military.ve been in iraq and afghanistan. but when you're a father or mother and you see kids with no parents coming in, that's where the humanitarian crisis comes in, besides the homeland situation we're facing on the border. >> it's so tragic. what are the children telling you? why are they there alone? they are fleeing their countries because of safety concerns? >> they gave me two basic reasons. one was the economics. number two, the violence. they told me stories about people being killed and saying, one father that i was talking to, he had his son in his arms. they said, if you don't give us your son to join our gang, we're going to kill him by tomorrow. that's when he said, that's it, i'm leaving. but i think tied into that also are the fact that some of those kids told me that they've got parents over here, whether it's in chicago, new york, l.a., other parts of the country. they're trying to join their families. but the other thing is, the bad guys, the smuggling organizations, are tel

two ski patrollers at mammoth mountain tried to steep off a vent covered in snow.s they were working the snow collapsed. the men fell 21 feet into the vent filled with carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfite. a man saw the men fall and he tried to rescue them. but he was overcome by the fumes. all three died. >> the first patrollers were overcome quickly within a minute or two. they were conversant upon falling and landing and asking for help. and then were silent within a minute or two. >> reporter: seven other ski patrollers became ill as they responded to the tragedy. it turned out that oxygen masks used by the ski patrol did not seal out the poisonous gas. as craig heaps first reported in 1985 the carbon dioxide does not typically pose a problem unless they pitch their tent in the wrong place. >> reporter: in the midst of incredible scenic beauty, thousands of dead trees form an ugly scar on one of california's most popular tourist areas mammoth mountain. >> when we first saw it we thought it was a fire or something. >> reporter: carbon dioxide killed these trees c
