[QUOTE="PobreCarlos, post: 1020002, member: 16651"] brown_trousers; That portion you're speaking of is considered part of the domestic operations; i.e. - that work takes place here, not abroad.

Just pointing out that they're far from the be-all and end-all of the company's profit centers. [/QUOTE]
