   Certain Covenants of the Company.

   As  of  August  1,  1996,  the  Company  entered  into  a

   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

   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.
