     Certain Covenants of the Company.

     As of August 1, 1996, the Company entered into a supplemental
     indenture with The Chase Manhattan Bank, as trustee, eliminating
     the covenants of the Company described in the Prospectus under
     the caption "Certain Covenants of the Company".  Consequently,
     the information under such caption is not applicable to the
     Notes.

Additional Information:                

     General.

     At September 28, 1996, the Company had outstanding indebtedness
     totalling $114.704 billion, consisting of notes payable within
     one year, senior notes payable after one year and subordinated
     notes payable after one year.  The total amount of outstanding
     indebtedness at September 28, 1996 excluding subordinated notes
     payable after one year was equal to $104.007 billion.

     Consolidated Ratio of Earning to Fixed Charges.

     The information contained in the Prospectus under the caption
     "Consolidated Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges" is hereby
     amended in its entirety, as follows:

                 Year Ended December                     Nine Months Ended
         1991    1992     1993     1994     1995         September 28, 1996
         1.34    1.44     1.62     1.63     1.51                1.56

             For purposes of computing the consolidated ratio of
     earnings to fixed charges, earnings consist of net earnings
     adjusted for the provision for income taxes, minority interest
     and fixed charges.  Fixed charges consist of interest and
     discount on all indebtedness and one-third of rentals, which the
     Company believes is a reasonable approximation of the interest
     factor of such rentals.

     Documents Incorporated by Reference.

     The information contained in the Prospectus in the first
     paragraph of text under the caption "Documents Incorporated by
     Reference" is hereby amended in its entirety, as follows:  There
     is hereby incorporated in the Prospectus by reference the
     Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
     31, 1995, the Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the
     quarters ended March 31, 1996, June 29, 1996 and September 28,

     filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to
     the 1934 Act, to which reference is hereby made.
