We expect housing and construction markets to continue to stabilize in the remainder of the year, but be down relative to last year's record levels, ... As a result of this environment and continued pressure on our cost structure due to higher raw materials and energy costs, Johns Manville's outlook for 2000 is for net sales and underlying earnings to be essentially flat with last year's record levels. |

We have constraints and have to be careful in order to successfully compete with them. |
We have succeeded in gaining a lot of flexibility going forward. That bodes well for the future. It is something we haven't had a lot of. |
We were consistently told - even on the last day - that it was going to take five years to sign Johnny. We weren't willing to do that. Our best offer was $40 million over four years. |
We wish Pedro nothing but the best going forward both on the field and off the field, ... He pitched with every ounce of his being for the Red Sox over the course of 216 games. Some of those performances were among the most memorable in Red Sox history. Who will ever forget the 1999 All-Star game? He has earned everything that he has accomplished, including his World Series ring and his reputation as one of the greatest who ever lived. |

We work together as an organization damned well and have a strong sense of humor about much of what goes on around us - thankfully. The media has been in much more turmoil over the Red Sox than has been the case internally. |
We're almost as nervous as when we were down, 0-3, in the ALCS last year. |

You know, from our perspective, we'd love to ... you know, we want to support the Baseball Classic but it's actually a plus for us that he's coming here March 1st and not playing there. |
