George Scalise Released Quotations

Our forecast released in November calls fourth-quarter sales to be 4.7 percent higher than the third quarter, and with two months of data now in, we are on target to meet that projection.

The September results are in line with the 1997-2000 worldwide forecast we released last week which calls for industry growth of 5.5 percent in 1997 and 16.8 percent in 1998.
