Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Operating Lease Commitments. We lease certain real and personal property from unrelated third parties under non-cancellable operating leases. Future minimum lease payments under operating leases as of October 31, 2019 were $48 million in 2020, $40 million in 2021, $31 million in 2022, $19 million in 2023, $12 million in 2024 and $46 million thereafter. Certain leases require us to pay property taxes, insurance and routine maintenance, and include escalation clauses. Total rent expense was $70 million in 2019, $60 million in 2018 and $51 million in 2017. Capital Lease Commitments. We had capital lease obligations of $4 million as of October 31, 2019 and $4 million as of October 31, 2018. The current portion of the total obligation is included in other accrued liabilities and the remaining long-term portion is included in other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Assets held under capital leases are included in net property, plant, and equipment on the consolidated balance sheet. Litigation and Contingencies. We are involved in lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, including, but not limited to, patent, commercial and environmental matters, which arise in the ordinary course of business. There are no matters pending that we currently believe are reasonably possible of having a material impact to our business, consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
