Required pension contributions under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, as well as rules governing funding of our non-US pension plans, are expected to be minimal in 2017. We plan to make contributions to our pension plans during the third quarter of $500 in cash and $3,500 in Boeing common stock. These contributions would exceed our previously announced plan to contribute approximately $500 to our pension plans in 2017.
