It assures the retirees will be fully notified and have a right to participate in the process.

Steve Miller has been very vocal, very blunt in saying he believes the days when industrial workers in America can have a middle-class standard of living are over. We think that's a very arrogant and wrongheaded notion and also a very dangerous view of America's future.

We're not going to be tied to an arbitrary date on the calendar. We haven't scheduled it yet. If it's needed we want to make sure it has maximum impact.

At this point, we expect Delphi to file the motions Friday morning.
