  This Amendment No. 6 (Final Amendment) to the Tender Offer Statement on
Schedule 14D-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 28,
1999 (the "Schedule 14D-1") relates to the offer by Atlanta Acquisition Corp.,
a Delaware corporation ("Purchaser") and a wholly owned subsidiary of Georgia-
Pacific Corporation, a Georgia corporation ("Parent"), to purchase all
outstanding shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Shares"),
of Unisource Worldwide, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), at a
price of $12.00 per Share, net to the seller in cash, upon the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchaser's Offer to Purchase,
dated May 28, 1999 (the "Offer to Purchase"), and in the related Letter of
Transmittal (which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto,
collectively constitute the "Offer"), copies of which were attached as
exhibits to the Schedule 14D-1. Pursuant to Instruction F of Schedule 14D-1,
this Amendment No. 6 is submitted in satisfaction of the reporting obligations
of Purchaser and Parent under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended.

Item 6. Interest in Securities of the Subject Company.

  Item 6 of the Schedule 14D-1 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

  The Offer expired as scheduled at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on
Friday, June 25, 1999. Based on a preliminary count, 63,732,482 Shares were
tendered (of which 4,465,195 Shares were tendered pursuant to notices of
guaranteed delivery) which, when combined with the 1,000 Shares beneficially
owned by Parent, represents approximately 90.7% of the issued and outstanding
Shares. On Saturday, June 26, 1999, effective as of 12:01 a.m., all Shares
validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer were
accepted for payment. Parent intends to effect the Merger of Purchaser with
and into the Company promptly. Parent and Purchaser own a sufficient number of
Shares to enable Purchaser to effect the Merger without a vote or meeting of
the Company's stockholders. Pursuant to the Merger, Shares of the Company that
were not tendered into the Offer (other than Shares held by (i) the Company or
(ii) Parent and its subsidiaries) will be converted into the right to receive
$12.00 per Share in cash, subject to dissenters' rights. Following the Merger,
the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. A press release
issued by Parent on June 28, 1999 announcing the expiration of the Offer and
the acceptance of validly tendered Shares is attached hereto as Exhibit
(a)(15) and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 11. Material to Be Filed as Exhibits.

  Item 11 of the Schedule 14D-1 is hereby amended and supplemented by the
addition of the following exhibits thereto:

  Exhibit (a)(15) Press Release issued by Parent dated June 28, 1999.

  Exhibit 99.3 Agreement among Georgia-Pacific Corporation and Atlanta
Acquisition Corp. pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k)(1)(iii).
