The 30 second thing is a good idea. It would be much worse if they were allowed to blather on with irrelevant self-serving nonsense like they usually do. There is seldom anything that needs to be said that can't be condensed into 30 seconds.

"In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion." (1987) -- Carl Sagan
