Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt Disclosure [Text Block]	Short-term Borrowings and Long-term Debt On March 22, 2012, the Company executed a five-year syndicated senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) totaling $1.3 billion which replaced a syndicated senior unsecured revolving domestic credit facility in the amount of $1.15 billion and a syndicated revolving international credit facility of $350 million that were both set to expire in November 2012. The Credit Facility includes 24 participating banks with commitments ranging from $23 million to $115 million. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company may borrow up to the maximum borrowing limit, less outstanding letters of credit or banker's acceptances, where applicable. At September 8, 2012, our unused Credit Facility totaled $1.2 billion net of outstanding letters of credit of $88 million and outstanding borrowings of $10 million. The interest rate for most borrowings under the Credit Facility ranges from 1.00% to 1.75% over the “London Interbank Offered Rate” (“LIBOR”). The exact spread over LIBOR under the Credit Facility depends upon our performance under specified financial criteria. Interest on any outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility is payable at least quarterly. The Credit Facility is unconditionally guaranteed by our principal domestic subsidiaries. This agreement contains financial covenants relating to maintenance of leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios and also contains affirmative and negative covenants including, among other things, limitations on certain additional indebtedness and liens, and certain other transactions specified in the agreement. Given the Company's strong balance sheet and cash flows we were able to comply with all debt covenant requirements at September 8, 2012 with a considerable amount of cushion. The Credit Facility contains cross-default provisions whereby our failure to make any payment on our indebtedness in a principal amount in excess of $125 million, or the acceleration of the maturity of any such indebtedness, will constitute a default under such agreement.

The entire disclosure for information about short-term and long-term debt arrangements, which includes amounts of borrowings under each line of credit, note payable, commercial paper issue, bonds indenture, debenture issue, own-share lending arrangements and any other contractual agreement to repay funds, and about the underlying arrangements, rationale for a classification as long-term, including repayment terms, interest rates, collateral provided, restrictions on use of assets and activities, whether or not in compliance with debt covenants, and other matters important to users of the financial statements, such as the effects of refinancing and noncompliance with debt covenants.
