The total matching contributions were $11, $7 and $5 in fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. 

We have a deferred compensation plan for certain management employees and directors. The liability for compensation deferred under this plan was $33 and $28 at March 2, 2002, and March 3, 2001, respectively, and is included in long-term liabilities. We have elected to match our liability under the plan through the purchase of life insurance. The cash value of the insurance, which includes funding for future deferrals, was $36 and $34 in fiscal 2002 and 2001, respectively, and is included in other assets.
