NOTE 8. DEBT

Loans Payable and Commercial Paper

Loans payable, commercial paper and the related weighted-average interest rates were as follows:



	April 3, 2016					December 31, 2015
Dollars in millions	Amount		Weighted Average Interest Rate			Amount		Weighted Average Interest Rate
Revolving line of credit ⁽¹⁾	$	100	1.02	%		$	—	—
Loans payable ⁽²⁾	17					24
Total loans payable	117					24
Commercial paper ⁽³⁾	50		0.43	%	⁽⁴⁾	—		—
Total loans payable and commercial paper	$	167				$	24

____________________________________

⁽¹⁾In the first quarter of 2016, we borrowed against a new international revolving line of credit, with a financial institution, which has a maximum capacity of $100 million. We plan to pay the outstanding balance in full in the second quarter of 2016.

⁽²⁾ Loans payable consist primarily of notes payable to various domestic and international financial institutions. It is not practical to aggregate these notes and calculate a quarterly weighted-average interest rate.

⁽³⁾ In February 2016, the Board of Directors authorized us to issue up to $1.75 billion of unsecured short-term promissory notes ("commercial paper") pursuant to a commercial paper program. The program will facilitate the private placement of unsecured short-term debt through third party brokers. We intend to use the net proceeds from the commercial paper program for general corporate purposes.

⁽⁴⁾ The weighted average interest rate is inclusive of all brokerage fees.
