   1.                                                   We note your response
to our prior comment 1 that you will revise to define core sales as
                                                        "change in sales
excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, acquisitions, and
                                                        divestitures." However,
we believe that core sales and core sales growth should be
                                                        identified as non-GAAP
financial measures and the disclosures required by Item 10(e) of
                                                        Regulation S-K, such as
the reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP measure, should
                                                        be provided when the
measures are disclosed in your filings. Please revise future filings
                                                        accordingly.
              Please contact Charles Eastman at 202-551-3794 or Claire Erlanger
at 202-551-3301 if
       you have questions regarding comments on the financial statements and
related matters.
