In an interview with cspan, senator harkin reflects on his time in washington. This is 35 minutes. Senator tom harkin of iowa, we are sitting in a room you spent a lot of time in over the years. And done a lot of important pieces of legislation. I am wondering what prompted you to make the decision to retire this year. There is still a lot to do.
