I call the meeting to order.
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for convening so quickly. As we do some further work on our procurement study, we would like to welcome a couple of guests today.
Before I do that, I'd like to remind everybody that we'll have a vote. The bells will start ringing at a quarter to eleven, and the vote is at a quarter after eleven. So if we're out of here at eleven o'clock, we'll all have time to get there.
Today we'd like to welcome Kenneth Rowe, chairman and chief executive officer of I.M.P., and Allen Conrad, vice-president, business development, in the aerospace division.
Gentlemen, we appreciate very much your being here. We had an article circulated previously that has been published. We look forward to your comments, and then we'll have questions. There's a seven-minute round from each. If that's all we have time for, that'll be it, but if we have more time, we'll keep the questions going until 11 o'clock.
The floor is yours. We look forward to your presentations.
