i cannot -- stewart udall led.s in my mind the great secretariat of the interior ever had or will have. i would like to share three of the last conversations that i had with secretary udall. the first occurred in january 2009 and it had to do with what some people would probably call "the udall family has arrived big time because for the first time in history we had two udall's elected" so there were celebrations going on. i was invited to many of them. there was one that was very special and it was because stewart udall had asked to meet me because he had some guidance he wanted to give me. even though their receptions going on and i was going from one to another, i went to tom udall's reception and then met with his father. it was supposed to be a five minutes stock and five minutes and that being about one hour. he talked about the history of the interior and his commitment. he had been thinking about that meeting for a long time. he had written down five things that he wanted me to follow as secretary of the in

. >> stephen colbert or jon stewart. >> colbert and stewart are the most trusted men? wow. we have really come a long way. really come a long way. well, my point is that in those days, anyway cronkite represented legitimacy and respectability and solid news. at the same time, when i arrived at the cbs bureau in washington, we had one woman reporter, two women editors and two women producers. today, poo. it's way over 50%. it's a totally changed environment but in those days it was very much a man's world. no question about that. and the people at the very top right now two of the three top evening anchors are women. so that in and of itself gives you a demonstration of the change. so we have come a long way from then, but then, time and time again i think the reporting was much sounder. let me give you one illustration. cbs had a marvelous reporter named winston burrdett. no longer with us. winston covered italy. he covered the vatican. and it was his responsibility every now and then to wander off into the middle east. one day, at the state department i got a call from our

and he referred to jimmy stewa stewart. so there's a -- there's a sense of commonality here in our views that if you are going to vote to continue debate, then the debate should continue. it's almost that simple. so the citizens can see if you have a case to make that makes sense, they can weigh in and help turn the tide in the direction of the u.s. senate or that you have no case to make and they want you to sit down and have the senate get on with its business. so that's the simple thing. well, there is many ideas for much more radical steps, steps in which we would proceed to s say, yes, we'll do -- we'll do something different, we'll eliminate the filibuster. but that is not the proposal that i'm speaking to today. it's not the proposal that many of us are speaking to. we're saying, yes, you can keep speaking but you've got to speak. you can't go on vacation. you cannot hide from the american people. you cannot object and hide. that is not in the tradition of the senate. now, there's a "wall street journal" article that
