Also, we note your supplemental response to comment 5 of our October 12, letter that York received no proposals for a business combination during the time period while it was discussing and considering Johnson Control`s proposal. Please tell us whether you received other proposals for a business combination in the recent period prior to discussing and considering Johnson Control`s proposal as well as the amount of consideration and the reasons for rejecting the offer.
