Additional Terms:
Certain Covenants of the Company.
As of August 1, 1996, the Company entered into a supplemental
indenture with The Chase Manhattan Bank, as trustee (the
"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. As of
February 27, 1997, the Company entered into a Third Amended
and Restated Indenture with the Trustee. References in the
accompanying Prospectus Supplement and Prospectus to
"Indenture" shall be amended to refer to such Third Amended
and Restated Indenture
Additional Information:
General.
At December 31, 1997, the Company had outstanding indebtedness
totalling $136.814 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 December 31, 1997 excluding subordinated notes
payable after one year was equal to $136.117 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,
1993 1994 1995 1996 1997
1.62 1.63 1.51 1.53 1.48
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, 1997, heretofore filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to the 1934 Act to which
reference is hereby made.

Rule 424(b)(3)-Registration Statement No. 333-07469
Prime Rate:
"Prime Rate" means, with respect to any Interest Determination
Date, the rate as published by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System in "Statistical Release H.15(519),
Selected Interest Rates", or any successor publication
("H.15(519))" set forth in the H.15(519) for that day under
the heading "Bank Prime Loan". If prior to 3:00 P.M., New
York City time, on the Calculation Date pertaining to such
Interest Determination Date such rate is not yet published in
the H.15(519), the rate for that Interest Determination Date
will be the arithmetic mean of the rates of interest publicly
announced by each bank that appears on the Reuters Screen US
Prime 1 Page (as defined below) as such bank's prime rate or
base lending rate as in effect for that Interest Determination
Date. If fewer than four such rates appear on the Reuters
Screen US Prime 1 Page for that Interest Determination Date,
the Prime Rate will be the arithmetic mean of the prime rates
or base lending rates quoted on the basis of the actual number
of days in the year divided by a 360 day year as of the close
of business on such Interest Determination Date by three major
money center banks in New York City selected by the
Calculation Agent and shall be determined as the arithmetic
mean of the prime rates so quoted; provided, however, that if
fewer than three banks selected as aforesaid by the
Calculation Agent are quoting as mentioned in this sentence,
the Prime Rate will continue to be the Prime Rate in effect on
such Interest Determination Date. "Reuters Screen US Prime 1
Page" means the display page designated as "US Prime 1" on the
Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service (or such other page as may
replace the US Prime 1 Page on that service for the purpose of
displaying prime rates or base lending rates of major United
States banks).
Plan of Distribution:
The Notes are being purchased by Lehman Brothers Inc. (the
"Underwriter"), as principal, at the Public Offering Price set
forth on the cover page hereof less an underwriting discount
equal to 0.075% of the prinicpal amount of the Notes.
