Professor John McHale:

In the Department of Finance's forecast, if one looks beyond this year, it is conservative in what it assumes what the level of contract manufacturing will be next year. The 3.9% growth number is uncontaminated by the contract manufacturing issue. We see a broadening of growth to include domestic demand, but one needs to be cautious of the tearaway growth that might be suggested by the figure of 4.7%. However, that is not to take away the message that there is momentum ibecause there is real momentum in the economy.
