Thank you, Victor for a bird's eye view of HON(Bendix and Allied Signal).

For management consultant such as myself, the view is quite different. We look at the revenue that GE has not owned yet. Good management knows how to squeeze more earnings out of a revenue that past management due to their set policy which restricted them to look at some of the hidden values. With GE's strength(financial and management), the hidden values will change by the merger.

Then there is the scale factor, reduction of overhead and inefficiency, which is duck soup for Mr. Welch. There are further consideration in some of the combined strength in selected industries. Currently, of course, the focus is on seeking value and direction of the combined company. I hope there is no management philosophy conflicts which will result in a larger restructuring(75,000 layoffs).

Once the direction of the combined company is developed, you will see a quick resolution to the merger.
