you and i met years ago when polly was kidnapped. i was a reporter in san francisco covering that story at the time. there were moments, again, when the media and the police would all rush to an area thinking, yes, we found some kind of lead and, no, not this time and it would happen. obviously, only a few months went by before they discovered that polly had been killed. talk to me about what is going through the minds of parents when they have these ups and these terrible downs and things like that. >> soledad, it's always a pleasure. i was lucky. i was informed by the authorities early on in the case that anything relevant in polly's case would come to me from them and not from the media. so, as those reports were starting to roll out, particularly in the later days, and, really, literally, any time somebody found a dog bone there would be a breathless reporter saying that polly's remains had been discovered. i was able to get through that. but the emotional roller coaster is absolutely extraordinary. it takes you from the lowest d

the polly klaas tragedy is capable of happening in anywhere, usa. >> sergeant matthew stapleton of the petaluma police department says law enforcement here is acutely aware of the dangers posed by sex predators. that's one of the reasons the it wanted to set up a sting. >> we wanted to make sure that people around us got the message crystal clear that we have resources dedicated to this. and we will continue to dedicate resources to this as much as we can. >> and that's why the petaluma police reached out to perverted justice. sergeant stapleton and his men worked out a plan with the online watchdog group. the police will be staked out in the house next door and perverted justice will turn over chat logs and phone records of the suspects expected to show up. once a man leaves our house, the police will make an arrest. usually we set up inside the house, often in the kitchen. this time, we're in the backyard. to give you an idea of how this works, watch this man, 41-year-old norberto avalos. he's here to meet a girl who told him she was 13. >> come on back. i made some frozen lemonade.

his own child, polly, was abducted and killed almost two decades ago.rom college station, texas. first of all, it is good to see you. i'm glad you're here with us. when you hear about this situation with isabel, it must break your heart. >> well, it does break my heart because so many times over the years i have seen this exact same situation play out on the news. you'll see a parent pleading for their daughter's safe return, not understanding that there are no real terms about this, that the term was that the child is the thing that was wanted in the first place. >> can you explain this, marc, because we know that your own daughter was taken from the slumber party at your wife's home, and this looks like a case where perhaps their daughter was taken from the home. how does something like that happen when you have someone who is able to actually get into your own house? >> well, this is such a high-risk situation, and i think it's a huge public safety issue when we can't feel safe in the sanctity of our own homes, and that's why it's incumbent on the lo

we had an ambassador there, the american ambassador by the name of eldridge durbrow, a rollie pollie figure with a rather rotarian manner whose gawky wife insisted on wearing the vietnamese dress in which she looked rather ridiculous. at the time the only foreign reporters in saigon were a handful of stringers and visitors like myself from hong kong. evidently unaware that vietnam had been a nation for about 3,000 years, durbrow kept telling us that one of america's priorities was nation building which meant converting the vietnamese into being facsimile americans. he was always promoting schemes of one sort or another to achieve that objective. one which had been invented earlier by colonel ed landsdale, the cia agent, was to recruit guitarists to go around singing american style folk songs at bonfires, the idea being that if they sang american-style folk songs and roasted weenies and marshmallows, they would get converted to the american cause. when i expressed some skepticism about this project durbrow accused me of being a defeatist. well, one of his big projects -- one of the bi

sudden polly there is no reason in the world in terms of what they can save on a tax favored basis for them to put in a simple plan. right now they have the $5,000 i.r.a. if they want to put in $10,000 they're going up to a simple plan. you have to be careful that what you do on the individual savings side doesn't disrupt the structure that really works pretty well on the individual employer side. i think when you look at it from an employer's perspective in selling them a plan, there are options. there are things you can do as opposed to the i.r.a. charge at the beginning of bill's testimony where it is basically telling you when you can't do something. with the employer side it's here's what you can do. here are your options. it's very positive on the employer side. >> all right. thank you. mr. vanderheid? >> thank you. while we don't take positions on proposals of this sort i find a lot to agree with in what randy and judy just said. i think from a rather abstract viewpoint if you look at what's happening with respect to employers, you would introduce a whole new set of nondiscrimin
