Dear Mr. Shenk:
This letter is in reference to your letter dated May 7, 2013 containing comments of the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance on the Form 10-Q of Textron Inc. (the Company) described above.
Pursuant to my telephone call on May 10, 2013 with Doug Jones of your office, due to our executives business travel schedules, the Company requires additional time to respond fully to the comments and has therefore requested an extension of time to respond. I am confirming that, in accordance with my discussion with Mr. Jones, the Company anticipates responding to the comments contained in the May 7 letter on or before June 5, 2013.
If you have any questions, please call me at (401)752-5187.
Sincerely, |
