Additional Terms:
Interest.
Interest on the Notes will accrue from August 9, 1995 and will
be payable in U.S. dollars semiannually on each August 9 and
February 9, commencing February 9, 1996 up to and including the
Maturity Date or date of earlier redemption (each, an "Interest

falls on a day other than a Business Day, interest will be paid
on the next succeeding Business Day and no interest on such
payment shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest
Payment Date to such next succeeding Business Day. The interest
rate on the Notes will be equal to 7.00% per annum from and
including the Original Issue Date up to but excluding August 9,
1996. Thereafter, the interest rate will be subject to
adjustment annually on each August 9 in accordance with the
following schedule:
Interest Period Interest Rate
(per annum)
August 9, 1996 to August 8, 1997 7.05%
August 9, 1997 to August 8, 1998 7.10%

August 9, 2004 to August 8, 2005 8.00%
The amount of interest payable on each Interest Payment Date
will be computed on the basis of a 360 day year consisting of
twelve (12) thirty (30) day months.
Optional Redemption.
The Company may at its option elect to redeem the Notes in whole
or in part on August 9, 1996 or on any Interest Payment Date
thereafter (each such date, an "Optional Redemption Date") at
100% of their principal amount plus accrued interest to but
excluding the date of redemption (the "Redemption Date"). In

Certain Investment Considerations:
Prospective purchasers of the Notes should be aware that the
Notes will pay interest at different fixed rates each year
through the Maturity Date unless earlier redeemed by the
Company. Prospective purchasers should also be aware that the
Company has the option to redeem the Notes on any Optional
Redemption Date and will be likely to elect to redeem the Notes
in the event prevailing market interest rates are lower than the
then-current interest rate on the Notes.
Plan of Distribution:
The Notes are being purchased by Salomon Brothers Inc
(hereinafter referred to as the "Underwriter") as principal at
a purchase price of 100% of the aggregate principal amount of
the Notes. The net proceeds to the Corporation will be 100% of
the principal amount of the Notes.
The Underwriter has advised the Company that the Underwriter
proposed to offer the Notes from time to time for sale in
negotiated transactions or otherwise, at prices determined at
the time of sale. The Underwriter may effect such transactions
by selling Notes to or through dealers and such dealers may
receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts,
concessions or commissions from the Underwriter and any
purchasers of Notes (which may include other dealers) for whom
they may act as agent. The Underwriter and any dealers that
participate with the Underwriter or other dealers in the
distribution of the Notes may be deemed to be underwriters, and
any discounts or commission received by them and any profit on
the resale of Notes by them may be deemed to be underwriting
compensation.
The Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriter against and
contribute toward certain liabilities, including liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
