         AUTHORIZATION OF STOCK REPURCHASES.
         ----------------------------------

         On February 21, 1995, the Board of Directors of the Corporation 
authorized the repurchase of up to 1,500,000 shares of the Corporation's 
outstanding common stock.  Pursuant to the authorization, appropriate senior 
officers of the Corporation may direct the repurchases at times and in amounts 
determined by them to be prudent.

from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions.  
The shares to be purchased will be used for reissuance in connection with the 
Corporation's benefit plans, including but not limited to the Employee Stock 
Purchase Plan, Stock Option Plan, Dividend Reinvestment Plan and such other 
benefit plans as may hereinafter be adopted by the Corporation.

         The press release announcing the authorization of the share repurchases
is attached hereto as Exhibit 99 and incorporated herein by reference.
