Now let me give everyone a brief update on our air gas offer.

 
On December 9, we announced our best and final offer of $70 per share. As we stated in that announcement it is time to bring this matter to a conclusion.

 
We are disappointed that the Air Gas Board continues to ignore the will of its shareholders. Air Gas shareholders deserve the opportunity to decide for themselves whether they want to accept our $70 per share in cash offer.
