Sensitivity Analysis
It is unlikely that in any given year the actual rate of return will be the same as the assumed long-term rate of return. The following table provides a summary for the last three years of actual rates of return versus expected long-term rates of return for our pension plan assets:
 
                         
    2008     2007     2006  
Expected rates of return on plan assets (net of administrative expenses)
    8.50 %     8.50 %     8.50 %
Actual rates of return on plan assets (net of administrative expenses)
    (28.50 )%     12.64 %     9.74 %
                         
 
Sensitivity of changes in key assumptions for our pension and postretirement plans’ expense in 2009 are as follows:
 
  Discount rate – A 25 basis point change in the discount rate would increase or decrease the 2009 expense for the pension and postretirement medical benefit plans by approximately $9 million.
 
  Expected rate of return on plan assets – A 25 basis point change in the expected return on plan assets would increase or decrease the 2009 expense for the pension plans by approximately $4 million. The postretirement medical benefit plans have no expected return on plan assets as they are funded from the general assets of the Company as the payments come due.
 
  Contribution to the plan – A $20 million decrease in planned contributions to the plan for 2009 will increase our pension expense by $1 million.
