eliminate.01: The plan isn't doing the eliminating, but rather some unnamed company which will be implementing the plan. But close enough. The subject of eliminate is "USX sold sizable chunks of its diversified and steel segments", but the syntax will not allow that string to be selected as target of the trace. So leave the trace with no target.
