| Although the Institute commended the SEC for its goal of enhancing the utility of financial disclosure statements, it questioned whether disclosure of a tax contingency or valuation reserve for material items comprising the issuer's tax reserve would improve the reader's understanding of the statements. These outstanding results were accomplished notwithstanding a LIFO inventory valuation reserve charge of $91 million in the fourth quarter 2006.
