government officials asked about that meeting with schwartz, "did tuiole her that you were interestedn taking a short position in abacus? pellegrini, yes, that was the purpose of the meeting. and how did you explain that to her? the government does not mention this information in its complaint and john nestor in a statement says "our case is built on a thorough record with testimony documents e-mails presented in court at the appropriate time." it's possible the government has other evidence contradicting this testimony that they did not know of paulson's short positions. pelgreeny said that he shared the outlines on how it selected the portfolios it wanted. goldman has denied wrongdoing. pelligrini denies comment to cnbc. the deal was structured in such a way to provide upside of $900 million for paulson, the downside of only $20 million to the hedge fund. trish? >> steve, let's back up here. the government saying, of course, the aca had no idea that paulson was going to short here. this testimony, obviously, seems to contradict that. so, might the government be looking at something

then the next one is from harvey schwartz to daniel sparks and donald mullen -- don't think we should slow or delay discussions. however, we need to huddle quickly before hitting bids, i think. this was all in may. then the next e-mail says, from donald sparks -- sounds fine. then the next e-mail is from tom moan tag to daniel sparks and others -- of course we should, but this is how we find value by showing asset and see where bid comes. they don't look to us for guidance, they pay what they think it's worth. is there a different issue? we will value where the mac shows us wheref we find a bid, won't we? the last one from donald mullen to sparks and moan tag -- agreed. we just need to make sure the proper communication occurs with clients, and we have thought through post-sale pricing. so what's clear -- and then you have the one later about how -- it was. what's clear here is there didn't seem to be a great deal of confidence in the long side of this particular instrument. but the salespeople were being pushed to move it. and it just looks like you guys are not only making the marke

they asked him about a meeting with laura schwartz -- "did you tell her that you were interested in taking a short position with abacus?" pellegrini says "yes, that was the purpose of the meeting." they said we look forward to presenting a complete and accurate evidentiary record in court. it is possible that the government has other evidence contradicting this testimony in which the aca claims it did not know of paulson's short position. and pellegrini walks away from the testimony, saying he doesn't remember specifically telling her, however, adds "it would have been a little difficult to sort the miss the fact that we were trying to short this stuff." pellegrini also told investigators that he shared with aca the out lines in how it selected the subprime securities that did was looking for mortgages with low fica scores and high loan-to-value ratios. the government's case is substantially about goldman's failure to disclose the role of paulson in shorting the portfolios that made up the collateralized debt obligations. however, aca became a major investor in the deal and appears to have

schwartz: physician assistants as a primary care provider has unnecessary delays in receiving home health services. medicare recognizes that nurse practitioners and physician assistants diagnosis and care for patients, prescribe drugs for patients all in accordance with state law. when state laws excludes ordering home health care within the scope of practice of nurse practitioners, as pennsylvania does, medicare still requires a physician signature for referral and payment. it allows the nurse practitioners to place a senior in a nursing home but not for less expensive home health care does not make sense. this leads to costly delays. i urge my colleagues to join with me to fix this problem and to ensure that seniors get the care that they need in a appropriate and cost efficient setting. by co-sponsoring my bill, house bill 4993, the home health care planning and improvement act and make sure that seniors get the care they need in the right setting and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady yields back the balance of her time. for what purpose does the gentleman from kent
