With April’s jobs report easing concerns about an economic slowdown, Warren E. Buffett, chief executive of Berkshire Hathaway, joins ABC’s “This Week” to share his thoughts on the economy.

In addition, the program will have a roundtable discussion on the president’s first 100 days of his second term with James Carville, Democratic strategist; Mary Matalin, Republican strategist; Jim DeMint, president of the Heritage Foundation and former South Carolina senator; and Bill Richardson, the former New Mexico governor.

As the debate in Washington intensifies over how to handle the civil war in Syria and with Israel’s airstrike on Thursday, Representative Darrell Issa of California, chairman of the oversight committee; Representative Mike Rogers of Michigan, chairman of the Intelligence Committee; and Representative C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger of Maryland, ranking Democrat on the Intelligence Committee, will join CBS’s “Face the Nation.” The program will feature a segment on gay athletes in professional sports.

President Obama gave interviews to Univision’s “Al Punto” and Telemundo’s “Enfoque” during his trip to Mexico and Costa Rica. The programs will air at 10 a.m. Eastern and noon Eastern, respectively, offering his perspectives on trade, border security and immigration. Univision will also have an interview with President Enrique Peña Nieto of Mexico, about his meeting with Mr. Obama.

As the investigation into the Boston Marathon bombings continues, NBC’s “Meet the Press” features a discussion on national security with Senator Patrick J. Leahy of Vermont, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, which has oversight over the F.B.I.; Rudolph W.

After the F.B.I. released photos Wednesday of men wanted for questioning in the September attacks on a United States diplomatic mission and C.I.A. outpost in Benghazi, Libya, two members of the House oversight committee will join “Fox News Sunday” to talk about the continuing search for answers: Representatives Jason Chaffetz, Republican of Utah, and Stephen F.

The program will be repeated over the weekend.

The Weekend Word: Loyalty

Today’s Times

• Cecilia Muñoz, a longtime immigration activist, was denounced and called a traitor after she joined the Obama administration and defended its deportation policy, Michael D. Shear writes. But now, as President Obama becomes the first president in decades with a chance to get an overhaul of the nation’s immigration laws through Congress, Ms. Muñoz’s loyalty in the face of public criticism appears to have paid off.

• The dearth of candidates for open Senate seats reflects what former and current senators say is a sad truth: the chamber, which was once considered an apex of national politics, is so riven by partisanship and gummed up by its own arcane rules, Jeremy W. Peters reports, that potential candidates from across the nation are loudly saying, “Thanks but no thanks.”

• A group of academics joined a gathering of former government and military officials in Washington this week to discuss their commitment to ending the government’s “truth embargo” on the existence of extraterrestrial life, Andrew Siddons reports. The lawmakers were there in hopes that their presence and political credibility would be enough to persuade Congress to take the issue seriously.

Weekly Address

• President Obama delivered this week’s address from Mexico City, where he spoke about “working with our neighbors on our common security and our common prosperity.” He said that Latin America presented an opportunity for him to expand on his top priority of creating jobs for the middle class. “One of the best ways to grow our economy is to sell more goods and services made in America to the rest of the world,” he said. “That includes our neighbors to the south.”

  The president also discussed border security and the immigration legislation that has been introduced in the Senate. “This bill is a compromise, which means that nobody got everything they wanted â€" including me,” he said. “It would modernize our legal immigration system so that we’re able to reunite families and attract the highly skilled entrepreneurs and engineers who will help create good-paying jobs for our economy.”

Happenings in Washington

• Samuel Winstead, a World War II Marine combat veteran, has been on a 350-mile biking journey called the Ride for Peace. He is scheduled to end the trip, which started on April 28 in Raleigh, N.C., in Lafayette Park in Washington on Saturday.
