President Obama will hold the second prime time news conference of his presidency on Tuesday, March 24 at 8:00 PM eastern time. Mr. Obama is expected to push his ambitious budget plan and will likely also address the continuing outrage over the AIG bonuses.

CBS News will broadcast the news conference on television; the Katie Couric-anchored coverage will include analysis of his comments and of the issues and challenges facing the administration. CBSNews.com will also webcast the press conference and offer full coverage.
