Additional Information:
General.
At March 28, 1998, the Company had outstanding indebtedness
totalling $138.313 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 March 28, 1998 excluding subordinated notes
payable after one year was equal to $137.616 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 31,
Three Months Ended
1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 March 28, 1998
1.62 1.63 1.51 1.53 1.48 1.54
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.

paragraph of text under the caption "Documents Incorporated
by Reference" is hereby amended in its entirety, as follows:
There are hereby incorporated in the Prospectus by reference
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1997 and the Company's Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for the quarter ended March 28, 1998, heretofore filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amendced, to which
reference is hereby made.
Plan of Distribution:
The Notes are being purchased by Paine Webber Incorporated
(the "Underwriter"), as principal, at 100% of the aggregate
principal amount less an underwriting discount equal to 0.250%
of the principal amount of the Notes.
The Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriter against
