ITEM 8.01. Other Events.
     On October 17, 2006, counsel for General Reinsurance Corporation (“General Reinsurance”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., received a letter from the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, Richmond Division (the “EDVA U.S. Attorney”), stating that the EDVA U.S. Attorney does not currently view General Reinsurance as a target or subject in connection with the EDVA U.S. Attorney’s pending investigation of Reciprocal of America (“ROA”). ROA was a Virginia-based reciprocal insurer of physician, hospital and lawyer professional liability risks. As previously disclosed, General Reinsurance and four of its current or former employees, including a former president, had received subpoenas for documents from the EDVA U.S. Attorney in connection with the EDVA U.S. Attorney’s investigation of ROA, and a number of current and former employees of General Reinsurance had been interviewed by the EDVA U.S. Attorney and the Department of Justice in connection with this investigation. It was previously disclosed that one of the individuals originally subpoenaed had been informed by the EDVA U.S. Attorney that this individual was a target of the EDVA U.S. Attorney’s investigation. The EDVA U.S. Attorney also confirmed that neither this individual, nor any current or former employee of General Reinsurance, is currently a target of the EDVA’s investigation. General Reinsurance will continue to cooperate fully with the EDVA U.S. Attorney in its pending investigation of ROA.
     Investigations by various governmental authorities of other matters, as previously disclosed, remain pending.
     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
