Pension Plans
Note 8.  Benefit Plans

     The Company and its subsidiaries have pension plans covering the majority of eligible employees on a contributory or non-contributory basis. .  The Company also provides postretirement health care and life insurance benefits for the majority of its U.S. retired employees.   Disclosures for the U.S. plans have been combined with those outside of the U.S. as the international plans do not have significantly different assumptions, and together represent less than 25% of our total benefit obligation.
