of japan are hearing. the japanese government is staying on message saying at a news conference today that its evacuation parameters are sound and only residents within 12 miles should evacuate while those within 19 miles should remain indoors and, as we've been reporting, the u.s. government is saying that american citizens on the other hand should evacuate to 50 miles. and there's yet another discrepancy and that is that the u.s. state department is urging u.s. citizens not to travel to japan at this time and those in japan should "consider departing." just a few hours ago a top japanese official in tokyo said that tokyo is safe and that there is no reason to leave. it's very interesting to note, chuck, that at the same time, tokyo streets are largely empty and its airports are full. people trying to leave the country. >> you know, ann, during the whole gulf oil spill. remember there was an initial battle, who was going to be in charge? is it bp, is it the government?
