Financial table:
change in assumption: .5% ( .5 % ) decrease in discount rate; estimatedincrease to 2008pensionexpense ( in millions ): $ 1
change in assumption: .5% ( .5 % ) decrease in expected long-term return on assets; estimatedincrease to 2008pensionexpense ( in millions ): $ 10
change in assumption: .5% ( .5 % ) increase in compensation rate; estimatedincrease to 2008pensionexpense ( in millions ): $ 2

Additional report context:
we currently estimate a pretax pension benefit of $ 26 million in 2008 compared with a pretax benefit of $ 30 million in .

Question: does a .5% ( .5 % ) decrease in discount rate have a greater impact on pension expense than a .5% ( .5 % ) decrease in expected long-term return on assets?
Answer: no
