Electronic Business. The emerging area of electronic business (e-business) has become increasingly important as we attempt to extend our efforts to reduce our costs and serve our customers. It involves enhanced interactions with our customers, improvements in the speed and efficiency of our manufacturing operations, additional effectiveness of our administrative processes and improved linkage and value from our entire supply chain. Internally, we have developed Internet web-based applications at xxxxxxxxx.xxx that provide customers access to order data that is important to their day-to-day operations. Cost of access, ease of use and timely availability of these data improve the effectiveness of our customer relationships and also reduce the total cost of doing business for both organizations.

We want to achieve a capital structure that will earn us an investment-grade credit rating. To do this, we know that we must further reduce our total debt, including our retiree obligations, and increase our stockholders' equity. We have made some progress during the past six years in improving our financial condition, especially in reducing our unfunded pension obligation. Our balance sheet pension liability at the end of 1999 was $410 million compared with $1.6 billion at the end of 1993. Additionally, we had a net unrecognized gain that is not reflected in the pension liability shown on the balance sheet. While accounting rules do not permit the immediate recognition of this net gain, the market value of our pension trust assets at year-end of over $6 billion was essen...
