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

reasonable approximation of the interest factor of such
rentals.
