Reconciliation of Changes in Benefit Obligations, Plan Assets and Funded Status [Table Text Block]

Reconciliation of benefit obligation:
Obligation at beginning of period	$	1,692		$	288		$	1,823		$	325		$	86		$	110

The amount included on the New plans line in the preceding table includes obligations under a pension plan in Switzerland, gratuity plans in India and a termination benefit plan covering certain employees in Italy. We determined in 2016 that these obligations should be included within our defined benefit pension plan obligation and the related disclosures. The adjustments were primarily reclassifications from Other noncurrent liabilities to Pension and postretirement obligations and did not have a material impact on pension expense.
