When we come out of the tough economy, we're going to be ready for the recovery with the right solutions and we have the strength and the wherewithal to invest to make sure that that happens.

And thank you for joining us tonight for UTC's annual December investor update. A couple of housekeeping  details before I turn it over to Louis, first of all, just to remind everyone that tonight's presentation is being carried live on the Web and that the presentation materials are available for download at UTC's website, utc.com. Also, as a reminder, after the conclusion of Louis's remarks and Q&amp;A, we will be hosting everyone upstairs on the fourth floor with a cocktail reception. The business unit presidents and Louis's staff will all be available to answer your questions, all right? And lastly -- let's see here. Can we turn the disclaimer on maybe? Thank you very much. Okay. Just a reminder that tonight's presentation does contain forward-looking statements that are subject to risks or uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from anticipated results, so fair warning. All right, so with that, let me...

These notes are a drawdown from United Technologies' existing shelf registration. The Hartford, Conn.-based company will use the proceeds from the notes to repay existing indebtedness, including outstanding commercial paper borrowings. "The ratings on United Technologies are supported by its substantial operating and global diversity, leading business positions and strong financial profile, including substantial internal cash generation," said Standard&amp;Poor's credit analyst Gregoire Buet. However, most of the company's markets are cyclical and highly competitive.
