Taylor: Just today, EDO announced its shareholders have approved our Cooperation , Two days after the transaction is expected 20 days to complete. However, at this stage, any talk about a U.S. company's ability to enter the Chinese military in the field, I think that is too early, not even business plans in this regard. ITT's strategy in China is to develop the commercial market. The first week of next year, ITT will announce the new strategy, please be patient.
