	Filed February 21, 2013
	File No. 1-134

In accordance with the voicemail which I left with you yesterday, and Mr. Pavot’s consent to our request, please be advised that Curtiss-Wright Corporation will formally respond to the SEC comment letter no later than the close of business on October 25, 2013. As mentioned in my voicemail, Curtiss-Wright is hereby requesting the extension to respond to the Commission’s comment letter dated October 1, 2013, in order to adequately confer with field personnel who are currently working on our third quarter close.

Very truly yours,

Paul J. Ferdenzi
