     Subject:  Amended Form 10-Q/A July 31, 1994
     
     
     Gentlemen:
     
     Subsequent to our submission of Form 10-Q for the three months
     ended July 31, 1994, we discovered an error on page 10 of the
     filing.  The last sentence under the "COAL" section indicates a
     33 percent increase.  The amended filing has been corrected to
     indicate a 19 percent increase.  Additionally, Exhibit 27,
     "Financial Data Schedule," was inadvertently omitted from the
     original submission.  It is now properly included in this
     amended filing.  Please note that the page numbers in the
     amended Form 10-Q/A correspond to the page numbers in our
     original Form 10-Q filing.
     
     Thank you for your time and cooperation.
     
     
     
     Very truly yours,

                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
               FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     
     
     The following discussion and analysis is provided to increase
     understanding of, and should be read in conjunction with, the
     condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying
     notes.
     
     
     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     
     Revenues increased 6 percent and 8 percent for the three and
     nine month periods ended July 31, 1994, compared with the same
     periods of 1993.  Net earnings for the three and nine months
     ended July 31, 1994 were $48.3 million and $140.0 million,
     respectively, compared with net earnings of $40.8 million and
     $118.5 million for the same periods of 1993.  Net earnings for
     the nine months ended July 31, 1993 included an after-tax
     charge of $9.2 million established by A.T. Massey, the
     company's coal investment, related to settlement of disputed
     obligations with the pension funds of the United Mine Workers
     of America/Bituminous Coal Operators of America.  Also included
     in 1993 net earnings was $12.6 million related to the favorable
     conclusion in the second quarter of 1993 of a federal income
     tax audit for the tax years 1984 through 1986.  Excluding these
     two nonrecurring items, net earnings increased 22 percent
     for the nine months ended July 31, 1994, compared with the same
     period of 1993.
     
     
     ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION
     
     Revenues for the Engineering and Construction segment increased
     7 percent for both the three and nine month periods ended July
     31, 1994 compared with the same periods of 1993, due primarily
     to an increase in work performed.  Engineering and Construction
     operating profits increased 17 percent and 19 percent, for the
     three and nine month periods ended July 31, 1994, respectively,
     compared with the same periods of 1993 due primarily to
     increased margins, and the increased volume of  work performed.
     Reported margins may fluctuate from time to time as a result of
     changes in the mix of engineering and design services and
     construction related services.  New awards for the three and
     nine months ended July 31, 1994 increased 14 percent and 7
     percent, respectively, compared with the same periods  of 1993.
     Approximately 69 percent and 54 percent of new awards for the
     first nine months of 1994 and 1993, respectively, were from
     projects located outside the United States.
     
     
     
                                  -9-
     The following table sets forth backlog for each of the
     company's business sectors:

        Total                  $   14,907   $   14,754   $   15,407
     
     The ratio of international to total backlog was 50 percent, 39
     percent and 39 percent at July 31, 1994, October 31, 1993 and
     July 31, 1993, respectively.
     
     
     COAL
     
     Revenues for the Coal segment increased 5 percent and 12
     percent, respectively, for the three and nine month periods
     ended July 31, 1994 compared with the same periods of 1993,
     due primarily to increased sales volume of produced coal.
     Gross margins also increased in the three and nine month
     periods of 1994 compared with 1993 due primarily to increased
     sales volume of produced coal partially offset by increased
     costs including start-up at certain new mines.  During the
     second quarter of 1993, a nonrecurring charge was recorded to
     provide for settlement of disputed obligations with the pension
     funds of the United Mine Workers of America/Bituminous Coal
     Operators of America.  Excluding the nonrecurring charge,
     operating profit increased 19 percent for the nine months of
     1994 compared with the same period of 1993.
     
     
     OTHER
     
     Corporate administrative and general expenses increased
     approximately $5.9 million and $8.6 million, respectively, for
     the three and nine months ended July 31, 1994 compared with the
     same periods in 1993 due primarily to higher stock price and
     performance driven compensation plans expense.
     
     
     
     
     
                                  -10-
     Net interest income for the three and nine month periods ended
     July 31, 1994 increased compared with the same periods of 1993
     due to both an increase in interest income and a decrease in
     interest expense.  Interest income increased due to higher
     average cash balances and interest rates whereas the lower
     interest expense was attributable to the pay down of
     short-term and long-term debt.
     
     Net earnings for the nine months ended July 31, 1993
     benefited from the reversal of $12.6 million of income
     tax liabilities.  That reversal was made in connection with the
     completion of a Federal income tax audit in the second quarter
     of 1993 for the years 1984 through 1986.  The reduction in
     liabilities did not affect the company's cash flow.  The
     effective tax rate for the nine month period ended July 31,
     1994 was essentially unchanged compared with the same period of
     1993, after excluding the 1993 favorable tax adjustment.
     
     In November 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
     issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112,
     "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits" (SFAS
     No. 112).  The statement requires accrual of the estimated cost
     of benefits provided by the employer to former or inactive
     employees after employment but before retirement.  Adoption of
     SFAS No. 112 is not required by the company until fiscal
     1995.  Although the precise method and impact of implementation
     is not known at this time, management believes the effect,
     based on the company's current benefit programs, will not be
     material.
     
     In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting
     for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" (SFAS
     No. 115).  The statement addresses the accounting and reporting
     for investments in equity securities that have readily
     determinable fair values and for all investments in debt
     securities.  Adoption of SFAS No. 115 is not required by the
     company until fiscal 1995.  Based on the nature and composition
     of the company's current investment portfolios, management
     believes the impact of implementation will not be material.
     
     
     FINANCIAL POSITION AND LIQUIDITY
     
     The company expects to have adequate resources available from
     cash and short-term investments currently on hand, plus
     available revolving credit facilities, capital market sources,
     and its commercial paper program to provide for its financing
     needs in the foreseeable future.
     
     
     
     
                                  -11-
     On April 7, 1994 the company completed the sale of its Lead
     business to an affiliate of a private investment company for
     consideration consisting of both cash and deferred payments.
     
     For the nine months ended July 31, 1994, capital expenditures
     were $171.8 million including $122.8 million related primarily
     to mine development at A.T. Massey. Dividends paid in the nine
     months ended July 31, 1994 were $32.1 million ($.39 per share)
     compared with $29.5 million ($.36 per share) for the same
     period of 1993.
     
     The long-term debt to total capital ratio decreased to 4.8
     percent at July 31, 1994 compared with 5.4 percent at October
     31, 1993, due primarily to the increase in shareholders' equity
     from earnings, net of dividends.
