Alexander Baugh assumed responsibilityfor AIG's global casualty business. Nicholas Walsh will becomepresident and CEO of AIG's Europe, Middle East, and Africaregion.

Benmosche said brokers and customers are satisfied with thepromotions.

During the conference call Benmosche said AIG's competition is“struggling a little bit with their flows, and so they have to getin businesses they weren't in traditionally.”

On Liu's show he added that he was surprised Buffett “wanted toget into a business and wait for people to call,” adding asarcastic “God bless him.”

Buffett told Liu Berkshire was going “full bore” intocommercial insurance.

“We would like to get into commercial insurance very big time,”he said, adding the four AIG executives came to him and in factsome had been calling “for a long time.”

“We did not initiate anything,” Buffett said.
