Employee Benefit Plans
Pension and Postretirement Plans. We sponsor both funded and unfunded domestic and foreign defined pension and other postretirement benefit plans, and defined contribution plans. As part of our acquisition of Goodrich on July 26, 2012, we assumed approximately $1.5 billion of pension and postretirement benefit plan obligations. Contributions to our plans were as follows:

There were no contributions to our domestic defined benefit pension plans in the first nine months of 2013. In the first nine months of 2012, we made contributions of $201 million to our domestic defined benefit pension plans, all of which was contributed in the third quarter of 2012.
The following tables illustrate the components of net periodic benefit cost for our defined pension and other postretirement benefit plans:
