| In the wake of
the devastating loss of Columbia and its crew, our company's
Caring Foundation has donated $25,000 to the Space Shuttle
Children's Trust Fund, a nonprofit fund for children of
astronauts who lose their lives on space shuttle missions.
Our company's Caring Foundation provides aid on behalf
of our global company to people and communities impacted
by disasters around the world.
For all of our employees throughout the world, the
impact of this recent tragedy was especially powerful.
As a global family, we mourn the loss of a crew that
represented the brightest international and multicultural
talents. As professionals who share their desire to
make a lasting contribution to humanity through scientific
inquiry, we feel a special kinship with the vision that
inspired them.
