| #10 I read the headline as 'US, Pennsylvania sign $148 MM ..." and I was a little put off. When I read on and learned PA referred to Paleostinians I was REALLY put off. |

| #2 the PA agreed to do something in exchange for $148 million. Or it suggest that USG wants to assist what PA is already doing. |
