and thanks to pete williams and alisha for putting together that video tribute.ooked good when i was tan. onto to think frank and the members of the executive committee for this unexpected and wonderful honor. as you heard, before i came to washington, i worked in a los angeles. i covered to the academy awards for many years. at the oscars, the lifetime achievement award always went to the oldest person in the room. i looked around, and i am not really sure that is me. but i am thrilled, and very honored. this has special meaning coming from my colleagues. i also want to thank all of the people at cbs news for their support and friendship. i want to say one serious thing, which is that covering congress can be challenging. explaining to our listeners and viewers what congress is doing is not always easy. but i do believe it is a vitally important work. to function properly, our democracy depends on voters knowing what their elected leaders are doing. doing for them, and in some cases doing to them. it was a privilege spending years at the capital trying to do tha
