On a global basis, we have contributed approximately $30 million required to satisfy minimum funding requirements to our defined benefit pension plans in 2013. In addition, we have contributed approximately $300 million of discretionary funding to our global post-retirement benefit plans in 2013. During the remainder of 2013, we expect to make contributions to our defined benefit pension plans of approximately $30 million to satisfy minimum funding requirements. We do not anticipate making any additional discretionary contributions in 2013.
