Tom Egan: Our first question one has to do especially with the CPGs. What is it you want the sales teams of PMMI member companies to do?  How can we help?

Adam Pawlick:  Yeah. Right now we have not changed the way we're operating from a project standpoint. We have not pulled out back on capital projects or anything else. We're continuing to move forward. Our cash position is strong so that's not a concern for us currently. My first request would be keep doing what you're doing. Try to make it as normal as possible. The second thing is we really need to proactively know how you're going to be impacted by COVID-19. Do you have some assemblies that are being purchased from China? Do you have controlled systems and people that are based out of India that don't have the ability to work remotely? Where are we going to run into problems in our projects, and proactively, how is that going to impact our timeline?
