(a) 2001 includes goodwill amortization of $38 million ($33 million after tax or $0.10 per diluted share) and special charges of $70 million ($57 million after tax or $0.17 per diluted share).

(b) Diluted earnings per share have been adjusted to reflect the December 15, 2003 two-for-one stock split which was effected as a stock dividend (see Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements).

(c) Capital expenditures for 2003 include the purchase of previously leased assets for $339 million (see Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements). Consequently, after-tax return on capital for 2003 was reduced by 0.4%.
