where's the stafford act, all of these things you were doing? and when you bring up the issue, admiral, about what if this was a terrorist attack happening? how would we respond and how it emergency management or the control, the command and control be different in that type of event? how are we preparing for the so emergency management is ready? >> that's a great question. one of the things that is built into the emergency system that we used for hurricanes or we used for terrorist attacks is the esf-10, which is the emergency support function oil and hazardous material built right into the larger emergency response system. and so the consequence that is oil or hazardous materials of any event, whether it's, could be a storm. we mentioned the tanks that failed during katrina, or could be a blowout or could be a terrorist attack. it's going to be pretty much the same. one of the challenges is, if it's not a responsible party situation like we had here, and it exceeds our oil spill liability trust fund, then we got a little bit of a challenge the

here's rob stafford. >> 911. >> it's the worst news you could ever possibly have to deliver to somebody. >> on a saturday morning in an upscale atlanta suburb, a young son saw something no child should ever see. >> oh, he's going to remember it forever. >> where is he at now? is he with you? >> yes. >> okay. all right. how old is he? >> 7. >> he's 7? >> uh-huh. >> and what he saw would soon open the eyes of investigators to something they had missed for years. >> the deep, dark secret had been exposed. >> this is a tale of two tragedies, of two young women who lived and died at different times and in different cities but left behind a mysterious trail of almost identical clues. could solving one case lead to the truth in the other? for one family, the story began on december 4th, 2004. >> typical saturday morning, and the phone rang. and i was immediately hysterical. and i asked where she was, was she okay. and he said, "no, heather, i'm sorry, she's gone." >> she was 33-year-old jennifer corbin, the wife of dr. barton corbin, a tall, handsome dentist who was 40. they had been married s

you know, unsubsidized stafford loans, the ones not based on need are now at 7.9%. sorry, 6.8%. and parents plus loans, which are not based on need, are 7.9%. you know you can put money in the bank and get nothing. why are you paying 7% or 8% on loans? the trick to get that degree is to figure out how to make it more affordable. i think the real answer will be local community colleges. you don't want your kids at home for two more yes, sir, they don't want to be there but if you can get them to stay home for two years, cut the burden of debt, cut the interest rate payment, get the degree and then move on to the professional level. >> yeah, i like your thinking. i like three-year undergrad degrees. not many of them. you can find them. especially if you're going on to graduate work. the a.p. credits when you come in, it takes forethought for a 15, 16, 17, 18-year-old kid to me. i don't think you should be switching majors three or four times because it's a different kind of world right now. let's look at the broader world. what prevents the u.s. from slipping into another recessio

they're doing things like the old stafford act model reactivr, they would wait until after the stormn assessment and help. what mr. fugate is doing is prepositioning the assets before the storm hits and being there and we've heard this across the board, whether it's republican or democratic leaders across the states, thanking fema for being forward leaning. that's the right model. >> generally speaking it is interesting, because republicans and democrats can't agree on anything these days. if they agree the preparedness for this disaster was sound i'm clinds to think that's worth listening to. good to have you here. the co-founder of the chertoff group and formerly the chief of staff of the homeland security. >> we had a hallelujah moment over fema of all things. >>> up next minding your business including why, why you might see gas prices go down because of hurricane irene. i'll tell you about that. 26 minutes after the hour. you're watching "american morning." a week. it saves us so much time and money. postage meters are a lot more expensive. can you print only stamps? no. first c
