| Tanner said the backlog would be aided by $41.5 
				billion to $43 billion in new orders expected this year, but 
				delays in a few larger orders could change that.
 				For instance, he said the company expected to finalize a 
				multi-year contract valued at over $5 billion with the U.S. 
				military for 79 C-130J transport planes in the fourth quarter.
 				"Should it shift to the right, it would be difficult to achieve 
				that $80 billion backlog amount," he said.
