He is CBS's chief Washington correspondent and since May 1991 has anchored the Sunday public affairs broadcast "Face the Nation." He is the recipient of many awards, including six Emmys, the Paul White Award (recognizes an individual's lifetime contribution to electronic journalism) and the National Press Foundation's Broadcaster of the Year (2002).
