(Many of the comments we have made this morning may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking information is based on information available at this time and is subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to, whether the Railroad is fully successful in overcoming its congestion-related problems and implementing its service recovery plans, industry competition, regulatory developments, natural events such as floods and earthquakes, the effects of adverse general economic conditions, fuel prices, labor strikes, the impact of the year 2000 systems problems and the ultimate outcome of shipper claims related to congestion, environmental investigations or proceedings and other types of claims and litigations.)
