Christopher B. Galvln Senior Executive Vice President and Assistant Chief Operating Officer any other person anywhere. The system is based on a constellation of 77 small satellites in low-Earth orbit, working together as a digital switched voice and data communications network in space. We already have presented the Iridium technology and service concept in more than 35 countries. Motorola's primary role would be to supply equipment. We envision a consortium to provide the service to local telephone companies. Our Intelligent Vehicle Highway System (IVHS) technology addresses the growing concerns over traffic congestion and safety. We are designing products to bring the power of satellite, sensor, computer and communications equipment into the vehicle - to help determine the most efficient route to a destination based on real-time roadway and traffic conditions, and then guide the traveler along that route. Iridium and IVHS are examples of the cooperative culture at Motorola, a culture that brings together all organizations and functions to serve the customer, wherever in the world that customer might be. Senior Management Robert W. Galvin, in addition to his full-time employment as chairman of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors, has been elected chairman of the Board of Directors of Sematech, a nonprofit industrygovernment research consortium in Austin, Texas. He is also serving as chairman of the Board of Overseers of the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. Arthur P. Sundry, president and general manager of the Communications Sector and executive vice president of Motorola, retired after more than 30 years of service, all in the Communications Sector. Twelve years ago, his concern over improving our quality and better serving our customers was the catalyst that subsequently changed the tone of the entire corporation by launching Motorola on our latest decade of renewal. It is based on continual aggressive quality improvement leading to Six Sigma, only 3.4 defects per million. Carl E. Lindholm, executive vice president and director of international operations, retired after 23 years of service. He also served in communications, as chief corporate staff officer, and as general manager of the Automotive and Industrial Electronics Group. He continues to serve as a consultant on international activities. We acknowledge with appreciation the many contributions of Art Sundry and Carl Lindholm. George Fisher Gary L. Tooker Christopher B.
