I think that would be the prudent thing to do. I live in Philadelphia so I don't have to catch a connecting flight when I arrive on US Airways or Lufthansa. Immigration and Customs are not a problem (if you are a US Citizen returning); going thru security for your connecting flight is where you're going to encounter delays. Add a 'Terminal Change' because all international arrivals are at new Terminal 'A,' US Airways (domestic) is at Terminal 'B,' American, Continental and Northwest are further removed. 61-minutes just isn't going to be enough time (IMHO).
P.S.
An article in this AM's (11/23)
Philadelphia Inquirer indicates there may be some delay at Immigration/Customs also. They make it look bad in an accompanying foto, but I have always found that returning U.S. Citizens can usually 'skate' thru immigration (my last re-entry was Oct 4th. 2001).
