Certain of our foreign earnings are indefinitely reinvested. Although a significant portion of our cash and cash equivalents is held outside the U.S., we manage our worldwide liquidity to provide sufficient funds in the locations in which they are needed. Our ability to access cash held by foreign subsidiaries may be subject to withholding taxes and other considerations associated with transferring funds across jurisdictions.
