remarks from the Chair of COGME and welcoming comments from senior
management of the Health Resources and Services Administration. COGME
will hear presentations by speakers on various aspects of the topic of
GME financing in a time of reduced financial resources. The
presentations will be followed by an opportunity for members to ask
questions and make comment. Discussion will focus on the development of
recommendations for a report to the Secretary and Congress. The meeting
on Tuesday, June 14 will also include an election to fill the now
vacant position of Vice Chair. Additional presentations will be held on
Wednesday, June 15, followed by the development of plans for the
completion of a COGME report on GME financing. The public will have an
