ABC anchor Diane Sawyer is planning a trip to Capitol Hill to cover the transfer of power in the House of Representatives. As a preview she had Jonathan Karl narrate homevideo made by freshmen representatives as they traveled from New Hampshire and Arizona, Illinois and Washington State for their swearing-in. NBC and CBS both offered brief look-aheads to the next Congress: Savannah Guthrie from the White House, Nancy Cordes from the Capitol. Before the new Congress is sworn in, several states held inauguration ceremonies for new governors. CBS' John Blackstone previewed looming austerity in New York State, California and Nevada.
The day's other inside-the-Beltway story concerned John Wheeler, the 66-year-old lead fundraiser for the Vietnam War memorial wall on the DC Mall. He has been found dead in a landfill in Delaware, deposited there from a Newark dumpster. NBC's Pete Williams outlined the beginnings of a whodunit.
