At 12:50pm, ABC News President David Westin sent the following update on Bob Woodruff and Doug Vogt to his ABC News colleagues today:

"Both Bob and Doug are now in the excellent hands of the doctors and nurses at Bethesda Medical. They made the trip well.

Doug continues to make excellent progress. The doctors and his wife, Vivian, are very encouraged. He will continue to undergo various tests in the coming days.

Bob is also coming along beautifully, bearing in mind that he started out behind Doug. There are a host of tests and procedures he's going through, and they will continue for some time. I'm not a physician, and if I tried to explain it all, I'd get it wrong. But the one thing that is absolutely clear is that every test Bob's been subjected to thus far he's not only passed, but he's passed with flying colors. He's proving himself, once again, to be a very tough, resilient fellow. All of us must be patient. This is a process, and I'm sure that there will be ups and downs in that process. But Bob continues to lead the way with his progress.

Both Lee and Vivian greatly appreciate the outpouring of support and concern. We're doing our best to convey all of that to them and to their families through this difficult time. They will continue to need your support in the coming days and weeks."
