Exhibit 3


                     DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY FOR PROPERTY


         I, WILLIAM R. HEWLETT, a resident of Santa Clara County, California,
appoint you, WALTER BERRY HEWLETT and EDWIN E. VAN BRONKHORST, severally and not
jointly, as my attorneys-in-fact to act for me and in my name as authorized by
this durable power of attorney. Each of you shall be referred to in this durable
power of attorney as "my attorney-in-fact." Each of you, acting alone, shall
have full power and authority to act on my behalf under the terms of this
durable power of attorney. If one of you dies, resigns, or fails or ceases to
act or is unable to act because of incapacity, the other of you shall act alone
as my attorney-in-fact.

         I intend under this document to create a durable power of attorney
pursuant to the California Power of Attorney Law, Division 4.5 of the California
Probate Code.

         1. YOUR POWERS. I hereby grant to you the following powers regarding
the management of my property, to be used for my benefit and to be exercised
only in a fiduciary capacity. These powers shall include those set forth below
but shall, in addition, include any other powers reasonably necessary to the
exercise of the enumerated powers.

         . . . .

                  (bb) To transact all and every kind of business of any kind
         and generally to take any actions and make any contracts, orders,
         deeds, writings, assurances and instruments which may be necessary or
         proper on my behalf, and generally to act for me in all matters
         affecting any business or property which I may own now or in the future
         with the same force and effect as though I were personally present and
         acting for myself.

         . . . .

         This durable power of attorney is executed by me on March 5, 1997, at
Palo Alto, California.
