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.
