Good Afternoon, I'm Kimberly McBroom.
The President is gearing up for what is expected to be a major speech tonight.
It'll be a pep talk of sorts to urge patience in the war against terrorism.
This, as Congress tries to deal with the fallout from terrorist acts-- whether it be from bombs or anthrax.
Meanwhile, the U-S Postmaster General says the people who buy stamps shouldn't have to pay the extra costs now
being faced by the Postal Service.
Potter told a Senate panel today the government should cover the five- billion dollars that postal officials say they need to recover from the anthrax mailings.
Aleen Sirgany is in Washington this afternoon, and joins us now with the latest.

An Alaska jury had awarded the money to thousands of fishermen and property owners after the 1989 oil spill -- which was

Exxon said it shouldn't have to pay any punitive damages --
after spending three billion dollars to clean up the oil spill and settle lawsuits.
The appeals court says some damages are justified -- but
that five billion dollars is too much.
