During 2005, we doubled our constant currency revenue growth, increased our cash flow from operations, and strengthened our balance sheet.

Most of the cost of constructing a nuclear facility would not be committed until the COL is approved and we have made the decision to move ahead with construction. Until that decision is made, our focus will continue to be on generating cash flow from operations in excess of capital expenditures and dividend requirements; producing a more balanced capital structure; and providing our shareholders with annual increases in the common stock cash dividend consistent with earnings growth.

While we are pleased with meeting our earnings targets for the quarter, we are even more pleased with the company's operating cash flow performance, with continuing operations $600 million ahead of plan for the first half of the year.
