NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

1.     Stock Repurchase Program
We repurchased 3.9 million and 0.5 million shares of common stock in the first quarters of 2015 and 2014, respectively, at a cost of $415 million and $50 million, respectively. We have remaining authorization from our Board of Directors to repurchase up to 31.3 million shares through December 31, 2017. The timing and volume of purchases is guided by our assessment of market conditions and other pertinent factors. Any near-term share repurchases are expected to be made with internally generated cash, cash on hand, or proceeds from borrowings. Since the beginning of 2006, we have repurchased and retired 143.7 million shares at a total cost of $8.8 billion.
