WASHINGTON, March 2 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Speaker Nancy Pelosi held a press availability this afternoon on health insurance reform in the Capitol. Below is a transcript of the press availability:

Speaker Pelosi. Good afternoon. How are you all? Anybody have a question?

I know that some of you asked me on the way here about the President's letter. We welcome the President's letter, which he sent to the bipartisan leadership of the House and Senate. In it he spelled out our areas of agreement that had emerged from last Thursday's meeting- not that there were new-but that he emphasized our common ground in keeping cost down and fighting waste, fraud and abuse.
