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.

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

Exchange Commission pursuant to the 1934 Act to which
reference is hereby made.
