1. Does an agency's receipt of information over which it has no authority to act implicate a "matter within" the agency's "jurisdiction" under 18 U.S.C. § 1519, as the Eighth Circuit held below in conflict with decisions from three other circuits?
2. Can a false statement be deemed "material" under 18 U.S.C. § 1001 even if the government would have acted no differently had the statement been true?
