            Abstract : 
A team control problem is considered, whose information structure is partially nested and is characterized by the existence of a common past. It is shown that, under LQG hypotheses, the common past can be "condensed" in sufficient statistics, thus yielding optimal linear strategies whose arguments do not increase with time.
