ON THE SUNDAY CHAT SHOWS

ABC / This Week with George Stephanopoulos: Indiana's two U.S. Senators, Republican Richard Lugar and Democrat Evan Bayh, will discuss Iraq, Iran, and the increasing clamor demanding Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's resignation. The roundtable this week will consist of conservative commentator George Will, Joe Klein of Time magazine, and Democratic strategist Donna Brazile.

CBS / Face The Nation with Bob Schieffer: The guests and subjects were not been announced as of early Sunday morning. This has, unfortunately, become a bit of a habit for CBS.

CNN / Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer: The question of how the U.S. should respond to Iran's nuclear threat will be discussed with Iraqi Ambassador to the U.S. Samir Sumaidaie, Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D - CA), and Congressman Duncan Hunter (R - CA). Also making an appearance on Easter Sunday: Rev. Jerry Falwell, televangelist and Founder/Chancellor of Liberty University.

FOX / Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace: Iran will be the top subject here also, with U.S. Senators Mitch McConnell (R - KY / Majority Whip) and Christopher Dodd (D - CT). Also, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich (R - GA) on the Republican Party's growing pains. And as Tax Day has nearly arrived (you have two extra days to get those forms and payments in until Monday), a bit on stepped up enforcement by the Internal Revenue Service.

NBC / Meet the Press with Tim Russert: Since it is the Easter/Passover season, the focus of the programme will be faith in America...faith and politics, that is...with National Catholic Reporter columnist Sister Joan Chittister, Editor Rabbi Michael Lerner of the liberal Jewish bimonthly magazine Tikkun, Managing Editor Jon Meacham of Newsweek, Islamic philosopher and scholar Dr. Seyyed Hossein Nasr, Rev. Richard John Neuhaus, and Houston-based televangelist/author Joel Osteen. Also, a minute with Dr. Billy Graham.

Syndicated / The Chris Matthews Show: The panel will ask if President Bush is approaching Iran differently than he did Iraq, and the question of why getting into college is more difficult today. The group consists of MSNBC's Norah O'Donnell, Howard Fineman of Newsweek, Cynthia Tucker of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and David Brooks of the New York Times.
