Thank you, Bill, and good morning. Moving to segment results on Slide 5. Revenue for RF Communications was $538 million compared to $550 million in the prior year. Tactical Communications revenue was $398 million and declined 8%, driven by a significant decline in DoD. Although down slightly due to transitioning to Phase 2 of the Australia order, international revenue was at a healthy level and supports the strong double-digit growth expected for fiscal 2012. In Public Safety and Professional Communications, revenue growth was excellent, increasing 18% to $140 million with strong growth in both products and programs. Operating performance for this segment was very good, with operating income increasing in spite of lower revenue. A favorable product mix, cost containment and lower manufacturing costs all resulted in higher operating margin of 33.8%, up from 32.5% in the prior year. Orders for the segment totaled $629 million, and book-to-bill was 1.17. Tactical Communication orders were $534 million. Book-to-bill was 1.34, and backlog was $717 million. We continue to see demand for our products from all branches of the U.S. DoD. From the U.S. Marine Corps, we received a $64 million order for Falcon III radios, and we were awarded a $49 million IDIQ contract to provide Unity Multiband Land Mobile Radios to our Marine Corps first responders. Following the close of the quarter, Harris was awarded a 5-year, $400 million IDIQ contract from the U.S. Special Forces, with an initial order of $39 million for Falcon III hand-held radios with wideband networking. We also expect an award later this fiscal year for the 4-year potential $500 million JTRS seizures next-gen IDIQ contract for Falcon III radios, including handhelds with wideband networking. Late yesterday, the Joint Program Executive Office awarded Harris a $26 million IDIQ contract to provide the Soldier Radio Waveform software in-service support for the next enterprise domain. This is a key strategic win for Harris. The domestic 12- to 18-month opportunity pipeline remains healthy and well-funded at $1.1 billion versus $1.2 billion at the end of the second quarter. International orders in the quarter were excellent, with the largest from Australia, $250 million for Phase 2 of a potential $500 million modernization program, and bringing total orders to date under this program to $362 million. Other international orders included $51 million from Iraq and $26 million from Jordan. International opportunities continue to be strong, and as of the end of the quarter, the 12- to 18-month opportunity pipeline was $2.1 billion. The Public Safety, the 12- to 18-month opportunity pipeline was $3 billion. Let me now turn to Slide 6 and discuss Innovative Network Solutions, which excludes Cyber Innovative Solutions, now reported as discontinued operations. Third quarter revenue increased 8% to $500 million as a result of the acquisition of Schlumberger's Global Connectivity Services business. On an organic basis, revenue declined 1%. Strong organic growth in CapRock and Healthcare Solutions was offset by declining revenue in IT Services and in Broadcast Communications. Non-GAAP operating income decreased 17% year-over-year to $29 million, and operating margin was 5.8%. Strong operating improvement in CapRock was offset by weaker operating results, again, in healthcare and broadcast. Organic revenue growth in Healthcare Solutions was 47% and was driven by continuing strength in the government market. Government funding for improvements to electronic health records and interoperability remains healthy, with new contract wins in the quarter totaling $100 million from the VA and the DoD. Progress in commercial healthcare continues to be slow, causing a $5 million operating loss for healthcare. As a result, it's unlikely that Healthcare Solutions will be profitable for the year. In Broadcast Communications, weaker demand in North America and longer international sales lead time led to a 14% decline in revenue to $111 million and resulted in a non-GAAP operating loss of $4 million compared to operating income in the prior year of $2 million. In IT Services, revenue declined in the quarter, resulting from the loss of the Patriot program and a tough government IT spending environment. CapRock had an excellent quarter all around. New contract wins in the government and energy markets resulted in organic orders up 20% and organic revenue up a very strong 14%. Non-GAAP operating income was up more than 2x. The majority of the integration effort is nearing completion, and cost reductions are showing up in the bottom line. Also in CapRock, following the close of the quarter, Harris achieved a significant new win in the maritime market, a 5-year contract award with Royal Caribbean to provide global communication services onboard 34 of its ships. On April 27, our Board of Directors approved a plan for the divestiture of Broadcast, and preparations to initiate a sales process are now under way. In connection with evaluating strategic alternatives for Broadcast Communications, we booked a $407 million noncash after-tax charge to write down goodwill and other long-lived assets. Our non-GAAP results in the third quarter exclude the charge, and beginning in the fourth quarter, Broadcast Communications' current and prior period results will be reported as discontinued operations. This morning, we filed an 8-K providing you with pro forma historical information excluding Broadcast from our fiscal 2011 and 2012 results. Moving to Slide 7, revenue in Government Communications increased a very strong 9%, reaching $471 million. Double-digit revenue increases in civil and national more than offset slower spending by DoD customers. Growth drivers were diverse, including classified programs, where we are experiencing strong demand and good funding. Major classified awards during the quarter included 4 awards totaling $183 million. Other revenue drivers in the quarter included continued ramping of the GOES-R Weather program, shipboard terminals for the Navy to provide broadband services and commercial satellite reflectors. Operating income was $64 million, and operating margin was 13.6%. Our diversified program base, large opportunities in the pipeline, which are in focused areas such as the FAA, and the strength of our classified base positions us well for the tougher government spending environment ahead. Turning to Slide 8. We ended the quarter with $299 million of cash on hand. Free cash flow was strong at $152 million as compared to $79 million in the prior year. Capital expenditures decreased $35 million to $53 million, and cash flow from operations was $205 million, up $37 million. All 3 segments generated positive operating cash flow. Our effective tax rate for the quarter was 32%. Let me now move to guidance for 2012. As shown on Slide 9, consolidated revenue excluding Cyber Integrated Solutions and Broadcast is now expected to be about $5.45 billion, and non-GAAP earnings per share has been tightened to a range of $5.15 to $5.25 per diluted share. At RF and Government Communications, our guidance is unchanged. At Integrated Network Solutions, revenue is still expected to increase 9% to 11%. Non-GAAP operating margin is now expected to be between 7.5% and 8.5%. Nonoperating income for the year is expected to be $10 million to $12 million, with $8 million occurring in the third quarter as a result of nonrecurring royalty income. Also included in our 2012 guidance is approximately $5 million of restructuring charges planned for the fourth quarter that are anticipated to deliver $20 million to $30 million of savings in 2013 and which is included in our 2013 guidance. We expect cash flow from operations to be about $825 million and free cash flow to be about $575 million to $585 million, up over $60 million as compared to the prior year as a result of lower capital expenditures. Our outlook for the full year non-GAAP tax rate remains at 33%. Turning your attention to fiscal 2013, we're initiating guidance with total Harris revenue of flat to 2% higher than fiscal 2012 and EPS in the range of $5.10 to $5.30. This does not reflect any impact from potential sequestration. Turning to the segments. For RF Communications, fiscal 2013 revenue is expected to decline 3% to 4% from fiscal 2012, with operating margins of 30% to 31%. Operating income is expected to decrease as a result of lower revenue and increased investment in new products and solutions, partially offset by cost reductions and manufacturing efficiencies. Lower revenue is primarily a result of the continuing wind-down of military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and the uncertainty surrounding timing of awards from the Army's JTRS modernization program at U.S. DoD, partially offset by growth in international and public safety. For Integrated Network Solutions, we expect revenue for fiscal 2013 to be 3% to 4% higher than fiscal 2012 and operating margins between 8% and 11%. For the Government Communications segment, we expect revenue of 2% to 3% higher than fiscal 2012 and operating margin around 14%. Corporate expenses are expected to decrease about $10 million to around $70 million for fiscal 2013 as a result of cost reductions, and nonoperating income is expected to return to historical levels of $2 million to $3 million of expense. Our full year tax rate is expected to remain at 33% in fiscal 2013 and assumes the R&D tax credit will be restored in the second quarter. We expect free cash flow to be in the range of $595 million to $665 million as a result of higher operating cash flow and lower capital expenditures. In addition to our typical annual share repurchases of around $200 million, we expect to use a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Broadcast to repurchase up to an additional $200 million of outstanding shares. In short, EPS is staying about flat with fiscal 2012. We believe this is a good result in this environment. The operating income decline in RF Communications and the decline in nonoperating income is expected to be offset by growth at Government Communications and Integrated Network Solutions, cost reduction actions and share repurchases. With that, let me turn it back to Bill.
