                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors
James River Corporation of Virginia:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits,  with  fund  information, of  the  James  River  II  Salaried
Employees Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31,  1993
and  1992, and the related statement of changes in net assets available
for  benefits, with fund information, for the year ended  December  31,
1993.   These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
management.   Our  responsibility is to express  an  opinion  on  these
financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the  audit
to  obtain  reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are  free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on  a
test  basis,  evidence supporting the amounts and  disclosures  in  the
financial  statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management,  as  well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In  our  opinion,  the financial statements referred to  above  present
fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the  net  assets  available  for
benefits,  with fund information, of the Plan as of December  31,  1993
and  1992,  and the changes in net assets available for benefits,  with
fund  information, for the year ended December 31, 1993, in  conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our  audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic   financial  statements  taken  as  a  whole.   The  supplemental
schedules  of  assets held for investment purposes as of  December  31,
1993  and reportable transactions for the year ended December 31, 1993,
are  presented  for the purpose of additional analysis and  are  not  a
required  part  of the basic financial statements but are supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations
for  Reporting  and  Disclosure under the  Employee  Retirement  Income
Security  Act of 1974.  The fund information in the statements  of  net
assets available for benefits, with fund information, and the statement
of changes in net assets available for benefits, with fund information,
is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present
the  net  assets  available  for benefits and  changes  in  net  assets
available  for  benefits of each fund.  The supplemental schedules  and
fund information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied
in  the  audits of the basic financial statements and, in our  opinion,
are  fairly  stated in all material respects in relation to  the  basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

As  discussed in Note 3 of the Notes to Financial Statements, the  Plan
holds  a  guaranteed  investment  contract  issued  by  Executive  Life
Insurance Company, a company which was placed under the control of  the
California  Department of Insurance in April 1991,  pursuant  to  court
order.   The  court order placed a moratorium on all distributions  and
surrenders for an undetermined time period.  Based upon estimates of the
Plan's management, the accompanying financial statements and supplemental
schedules  of the Plan as of and for the year ended December 31,  1993,
reflect an adjustment of $1,294,373 for the impairment of value of  the
Plan's investment in the Executive Life guaranteed investment contract.
The  ultimate  value of this investment as of the end of  the  contract
period  will  be dependent upon the outcome of the insurance  company's
final rehabilitation plan and is uncertain as of this date.

As  discussed  in Note 8 of the Notes to the Financial Statements,  the
Board  of  Directors  of James River Corporation, the  Plan's  sponsor,
voted  to  merge the Plan with the James River Corporation of  Virginia
StockPlus Investment Plan effective July 1, 1994.

       JAMES RIVER II SALARIED EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN
                     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE 1.   PLAN DESCRIPTION

(a) General:
    The   following   description  of  the  James  River  II  (formerly   Crown
    Zellerbach)    Salaried   Employees   Retirement    Savings    Plan    (the
    "Plan")  provides  only  general information  on  the  Plan  in  effect  as
    of   December   31,   1993.   Participants  should  refer   to   the   Plan
    agreement    for    a   more   complete   description   of    the    Plan's
    provisions.
     
    The   Plan   was  established  by  Crown  Zellerbach  Corporation   ("Crown
    Zellerbach")   in   1965.    Crown  Zellerbach  became   a   wholly   owned
    subsidiary   of  James  River  Corporation  of  Virginia  ("James   River")
    pursuant  to  an  exchange  offer  in May 1986  and  a  merger  transaction
    effective  October  30,  1986.   As a result  of  the  exchange  offer  and
    the  merger,  all  shares  of  Crown  Zellerbach  common  stock  and  stock
    rights,  other  than  the  shares  tendered  and  accepted  pursuant  to  a
    simultaneous   exchange   offer  by  Crown   Zellerbach,   were   exchanged
    for James River common stock, $.10 par value ("Common Stock").
     
    The   Plan   is   a   defined  contribution  plan  for   certain   salaried
    employees    of    James    River    and    its    domestic    subsidiaries
    ("Participants").    The  Plan  is  subject  to  the  provisions   of   the
    Employee   Retirement   Income   Security   Act   of   1974,   as   amended
    ("ERISA").    Effective  July  1,  1986,  the  Plan  was   curtailed   such
    that   (i)  employees  who  were  not  already  Participants  in  the  Plan
    were   no  longer  eligible  to  participate  after  that  date  and   (ii)
    all    contributions    to    the   Plan   ceased.     Additionally,    all
    Participants   became  fully  vested  in  their  entire  account   balances
    within the Plan as of that date.
     
(b) Contributions:
    Prior  to  July  1,  1986,  Participants  could  elect  to  contribute   up
    to 16% of their compensation to the Plan as follows:
     
        Participants  could  make  "Basic  Contributions"  on  a  tax-deferred
         basis of up to 6% of pay.
        Participants  contributing  the  maximum  Basic  Contributions   could
         elect to make "Supplemental Contributions" on a tax-deferred basis  of
         up to an additional 6% of pay.
        Participants making total tax-deferred contributions of 12% could
         elect to make "Additional Supplemental Contributions" on a non-tax-
         deferred basis of up to 4% of pay.
     
    Prior   to   July  1,  1986,  employer  matching  contributions  ("Employer
    Contributions"),  net  of  forfeitures, were made  at  a  rate  of  30%  of
    total    employee   Basic   Contributions.    No   Employer   Contributions
    were   made  with  respect  to  Supplemental  Contributions  or  Additional
    Supplemental Contributions.

(c) Investment Options:
    As   of  December  31,  1993,  the  Plan  had  three  available  investment
    funds:   (i)   the  James  River  Stock  Fund,  (ii)  the  U.S.  Government
    Obligations   Variable   Rate  Fund  (the  "U.S.   Government   Obligations
    Fund"),  and  (iii)  the  Fixed  Income  Investment  Fund  B  ("Fund   B").
    Participants   may  direct,  with  certain  limitations,   the   investment
    of    balances    attributable   to   Basic   Contributions,   Supplemental
    Contributions,      and      Additional     Supplemental      Contributions
    (collectively,    "Employee   Contributions")   among   these    investment
    funds.   As  of  the  end  of  each  calendar  quarter,  Participants   may
    elect   to   transfer   25%,   50%,  75%,  or  100%   of   their   Employee
    Contributions    among    these    investment    funds,    with     certain
    limitations   as  described  below.   Balances  attributable  to   Employer
    Contributions  are  invested  in  the  James  River  Stock   Fund,   except
    as noted below.
     
    The    Plan    has   two   additional   investment   funds    which    have
    restrictions   on   additional  investments  and  transfers.    The   Fixed
    Income   Investment   Fund  A  ("Fund  A")  was  an   eligible   investment
    fund  until  October  1,  1990,  at which time  the  Plan  was  amended  to
    prohibit   (i)   any   new  investments  in  Fund   A   and   (ii)   direct
    transfers  between  Fund  A  and  Fund B.  Beginning  one  year  later,  as
    of  October  1,  1991,  transfers may not  be  made  directly  from  either
    Fund   A   or   Fund   B   into  the  U.S.  Government  Obligations   Fund.
    Additionally,  a  Participant  who  transfers  funds  into  Fund  B   after
    September   30,   1990,   may  not  thereafter  transfer   funds   directly
    from   either  Fund  A  or  Fund  B  to  the  U.S.  Government  Obligations
    Fund.     The    Plan   also   maintains   the   Discretionary   Short-Term
    Investment    Fund    ("Discretionary   STIF   Fund"),    which    contains
    balances   attributable  to  Employer  Contributions  of   certain   former
    Crown   Zellerbach   employees.    Participation   in   the   Discretionary
    STIF   Fund   is  restricted;  except  in  certain  limited  circumstances,
    Participants   may  not  transfer  balances  into  this   fund   from   the
    other investment funds.
     
    The  James  River  Stock  Fund  is invested  in  Common  Stock.   The  U.S.
    Government   Obligations  Fund  is  invested  in  the  State  Street   Bank
    and   Trust   Company   Governmental  Short-Term   Investment   Fund   (the
    "State  Street  Bank  G-STIF").   Fund  B  is  invested  in  the  T.   Rowe
    Price  Trust  Company,  Inc.  Managed  GIC  Common  Trust  Fund  (the   "T.
    Rowe   Price  Common  Trust  Fund").   Fund  A  is  invested  in  a   group
    annuity   guaranteed   interest   contract   (also   referred   to   as   a
    "guaranteed   investment   contract")  issued   by   the   Executive   Life
    Insurance    Company    ("Executive   Life")    (see    Note    3).     The
    Discretionary    STIF    Fund   is   invested    solely    in    short-term
    securities.

(d) Participant Loans:
    Participants  who  are  current  employees  of  James  River   may   borrow
    cash   from  the  Plan  attributable  to  their  Basic  Contributions   and
    Supplemental      Contributions      (collectively,      "Tax      Deferred
    Contributions").   No  loans  may  be  made  from  balances  held  in   the
    Discretionary  STIF  Fund.   The  Loans  may  generally  be  made  for   no
    more   than  between  50%  and  75%  of  the  Participant's  Tax   Deferred
    Contributions,  subject  to  a  minimum  loan  of  $1,000  and  a   maximum
    loan   of   $50,000.    Plan  assets  attributable   to   a   Participant's
    account   will   be  liquidated  to  provide  the  funds  to   be   loaned.
    Loans  are  repayable  over  a  period of up to  five  years,  except  that
    loans  used  for  the  purchase  of  the  Participant's  primary  residence
    may   be   repaid  over  a  period  of  up  to  ten  years.    Loans   bear
    interest  based  on  the  prime  rate  in  effect  at  the  date   of   the
    loan.    Principal   and  interest  payments  on  outstanding   loans   are
    credited   to   the  Participant's  accounts  and  are  invested   in   the
    various  funds  in  the  same  proportion  as  the  Participant  has   most
    recently   directed   his  account  balances  to  be   invested.    As   of
    December   31,   1993,  there  were  130  Participants   with   outstanding
    loans.
     
(e) Distributions:
    Plan   distributions   are   recorded   when   paid.    The   Plan   allows
    Participants   to  withdraw  non-tax-deferred  balances   in   any   amount
    of   whole   percentage  increments  equal  to   10%   or   more   of   the
    Participant's    Employee   Contributions   without   a    suspension    of
    participation    in   the   Plan   or   forfeiture    of    any    Employer
    Contributions.   Tax-deferred  balances  may  be  withdrawn  only  if   all
    non-tax-deferred    balances   have   been   previously    withdrawn    and
    certain   financial  hardships  have  been  proven  by   the   Participant.
    Withdrawals  from  the  Plan  are  made in  the  form  of  cash  or  stock,
    depending upon the type of investment held by the Participant.

(f) Number of Participants:
    As   of   December  31,  1993  and  1992,  there  were  1,517   and   1,657
    Participants    in    the    Plan,    respectively.     The    number    of
    Participants  in  each  of  the Plan's funds  as  of  those  dates  was  as

     (1)  Participants may hold investments in more than one
          fund;  accordingly, the total of participation  by
          individual  funds may exceed the total  number  of
          Plan participants.


NOTE 2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a)  Basis of Accounting:
     The  financial  statements  of the Plan  are  prepared  under  the
     accrual method of accounting.

(b)  Cash Equivalents:
     Balances  held  under  the Plan may be invested  in  an  interest-
     bearing account, pending their investment in either Common  Stock,
     the  State  Street Bank G-STIF, or the T. Rowe Price Common  Trust
     Fund.  Interest earned on such cash equivalents is credited to the
     individual Participant's accounts.  Cash equivalents are stated at
     cost which approximates fair value.

(c)  Valuation of Investments:
     The investment in Common Stock is stated at market value, based on
     the closing price on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Tape on
     the  last  trading day of the period.  The James River Stock  Fund
     held  1,131,409 shares as of December 31, 1993 and 1,207,370  such
     shares  as  of  December 31, 1992.  The closing market  price  per
     share  of Common Stock was $19.25 on December 31, 1993 and  $18.50
     on December 31, 1992.
     
     Investments  held in the State Street Bank G-STIF  are  valued  at
     cost and accrued interest, which approximates market.  The T. Rowe
     Price Common Trust Fund is reported at fair value.  The fair value
     of the Plan's investment in the T. Rowe Price Common Trust Fund is
     determined  by  T.  Rowe Price, based on the fair  values  of  the
     underlying assets of the fund.  Fair value, as reported by T. Rowe
     Price,  after  considering the overall strength  of  the  contract
     issuers,  the nature and duration of restrictions on participating
     trust   withdrawals,  and  comparative  yields,  is  a  reasonable
     approximation  of  contract value.  The  Plan  may  terminate  its
     contract  with  T. Rowe Price at any time and receive  a  complete
     distribution  of funds, after giving twelve months'  notice.   The
     Executive  Life  guaranteed investment contract is  valued  at  an
     amount  equal  to  contributions made  under  the  contract,  plus
     accrued interest at the contract rate through April 10, 1991, less
     the adjustment for the impairment of value as discussed in Note  3
     of Notes to Financial Statements.
     
     The  assets of the Plan are held under an Agreement of Trust  with
     NationsBank of Virginia, N.A., Richmond, Virginia (the "Trustee").
     Hewitt  Associates, Atlanta, Georgia, serves as  recordkeeper  for
     the Plan.
     
     Loans  receivable from Participants are valued at the  balance  of
     amounts  due  from  Participants, plus accrued  interest  thereon,
     which approximates fair value.

(d)  Security Transactions and Related Investment Income:
     Security  transactions  are recorded as of  the  trade  date,  and
     dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.  The cost  of
     securities sold is determined on an average cost basis.

(e)  Realized Gains or Losses on Investments:
     When  a  Participant  (i) borrows funds,  (ii)  makes  a  transfer
     between  funds, or (iii) receives a distribution from his account,
     current  cash  contributions to the Plan are used to  provide  the
     funds  to be distributed or transferred.  For accounting purposes,
     the historical cost basis of shares which would have been sold  by
     the  Plan  to  provide  funds  for  the  borrowing,  transfer,  or
     distribution is deducted from the account of that Participant, and
     the   value   of  such  shares  is  reallocated  to  the   current
     Participant's  contributions.  Accordingly, the  Plan  realizes  a
     gain  or loss for the difference between the historical cost basis
     of  shares which would have been sold and the fair value  of  such
     shares on the distribution date.

(f)  Contributions and Deposits:
     All  contributions  to the Plan ceased as of July  1,  1986,  and,
     accordingly,  there  were no contributions made  during  the  year
     ended December 31, 1993.

(g)  Withdrawals:
     Withdrawals  from  the Plan by Participants are presented  at  the
     fair  value of the distributed investments plus cash paid in  lieu
     of fractional shares, where applicable.

(h)  Net Appreciation in Fair Value of Investment in Common Stock:
     The net appreciation in fair value of Common Stock consists of (i)
     realized  gains  and  losses on the sale  of  Common  Stock,  (ii)
     unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments held by the
     Plan,  and  (iii)  unrealized  appreciation  or  depreciation   of
     investments distributed to Participants.

(i)  Expenses:
     Certain administrative costs of the Plan are borne by James River,
     and no charge is made to the Plan with respect thereto.  Fees paid
     to  investment managers and other costs related to the  investment
     of  funds  are deducted from investment income prior to allocation
     of such income to Participants.
     
(j)  Reclassifications:
     Certain amounts in the prior year's financial statements have been
     reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation.

NOTE 3.   INVESTMENT IN EXECUTIVE LIFE GUARANTEED INVESTMENT CONTRACT

On  April  11, 1991, the California Insurance Commissioner  obtained  a
court  order  placing Executive Life in conservatorship and  under  his
exclusive  control.  Part of the court order imposed a moratorium  upon
surrenders,  policy loans, transfers of account balances,  and  similar
cash  disbursement transactions.  Accordingly, as a result of the court
mandated  moratorium, Participants holding balances in Fund A  who  had
not  transferred such balances to other eligible funds within the  Plan
prior  to  January 1, 1991 are now prohibited from making  withdrawals,
loans, fund transfers, or final distributions from this fund until such
time  as  the  California  court permits cash  withdrawals.   The  Plan
accrued  interest income under the Executive Life guaranteed investment
contract  at  the  stated contract rate through April 10,  1991,  after
which  date  no additional investment income has been recorded.   Based
upon  information available, the accompanying financial statements  and
supplemental  schedules  of  the Plan as of  and  for  the  year  ended
December  31,  1993,  reflect  an  adjustment  of  $1,294,373  for  the
impairment  of  value of the Plan's investment in  the  Executive  Life
guaranteed  investment contract; the ultimate value of the contract  is
dependent upon the outcome of Executive Life's rehabilitation plan  and
is not presently determinable.

NOTE 4.   PLAN TERMINATION

James  River  has  the  right, under the Plan, to  terminate  the  Plan
subject  to the provisions of ERISA (see Note 8(b)).  In the  event  of
Plan termination, no part of the assets of the Plan may revert to James
River.

NOTE 5.   RECONCILIATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO FORM 5500

Beginning  in  1993,  the  Plan changed its method  of  accounting  for
distributions  that have been processed and approved for payment  prior
to  December 31, 1993, but not yet paid as of that date.  In accordance
with  authoritative  literature, such  distributions,  which  were  not
material,  have  been  excluded  in the  determination  of  net  assets
available for benefits and distributions to Participants.

The  following is a reconciliation of net assets available for benefits
per the financial statements to the Form 5500 filed for the Plan:

                                                  December 31, 1993
Net  assets  available  for benefits per 
  the financial  statements						 				 											      $52,243,457

Amounts allocated to withdrawing Participants            (1,099,133)

  Net assets available for benefits per the Form 5500   $51,144,324

The  following is a reconciliation of distributions to Participants per
the financial statements to the Form 5500 filed for the Plan:
                                                         Year Ended
                                                  December 31, 1993
Distributions to Participants per 
  the financial statements                              $3,328,192
Amounts allocated to withdrawing Participants as of
  December 31, 1993                                      1,099,133

  Distributions to Participants per the Form 5500       $4,427,325

NOTE 6.   TAX STATUS

The  Internal  Revenue  Service has issued  a  favorable  determination
letter  with  respect to the qualification of the  Plan  under  section
401(a)  of the Internal Revenue Code.  The Plan has been amended  after
receipt  of the determination letter.  The Plan administrator  and  the
Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed to comply with the
applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.

NOTE 7.   CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Financial   instruments  which  potentially   subject   the   Plan   to
concentrations  of  credit risk consist of temporary  cash  investments
held  by  the  Trustee  in excess of the Federal  Depository  Insurance
Corporation  insurance limit; the Executive Life  contract;  the  State
Street  Bank G-STIF; and the T. Rowe Price Contract.  The Plan  has  no
formal policy requiring collateral to support the financial instruments
subject to credit risk.

NOTE 8.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

(a)  Change in Plan Trustee:
     Effective April 1, 1994, the Company has entered into an Agreement
     of Trust naming The Bank of New York as the Plan's trustee.
     
(b)  Plan Merger:
     Effective  July  1, 1994, the Plan will be merged into  the  James
     River  Corporation  of  Virginia StockPlus  Investment  Plan  (the
     "StockPlus  Plan").   Persons  who  have  accounts  in  the   Plan
     immediately  before July 1, 1994 are referred to as  "Former  JRII
     Employees."   A  Former JRII Employee may invest  in  any  of  the
     available investment funds the portion of his before-tax and after-
     tax  contributions that is attributable to assets transferred from
     the   Plan.    Subject  to  certain  exceptions,  other   accounts
     transferred from the Plan shall be invested according to the rules
     in  effect for contributions made to the Plan before July 1, 1994.
     The  Executive Life Insurance Company Fixed Income Fund, which was
     maintained under the Plan, is considered a frozen investment  fund
     under  the StockPlus Plan and no amounts may be contributed to  or
     transferred  to  that  investment  fund.   No  transfers,   loans,
     withdrawals, or distributions may be made from the Executive  Life
     Insurance Company Fixed Income Fund under the StockPlus Plan.
     
     Also effective July 1, 1994, the Company has appointed The Bank of
     New  York  to serve as trustee and Wyatt Asset Services,  Inc.  to
     serve as recordkeeper for the StockPlus Plan.

Exhibit 4(h)
                             AMENDMENT TO THE

                              JAMES RIVER II

                SALARIED EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN


     AMENDMENT, dated as of October 1, 1993, to the James River
II Salaried Employees Retirement Savings Plan, by James River
Corporation of Virginia ("James River").
     James River Paper Company maintains the James River II
Salaried Employees Retirement Savings Plan, as amended and
restated effective as of May 5, 1986, and as subsequently amended
(the "Plan").  James River has the power to amend the Plan and
now wishes to do so.
     NOW, THEREFORE, the Plan is amended as follows:
     I.   Effective January 1, 1994, Section 8(d) is amended by
amending subsection 8(d)(iii) and adding a new subsection
8(d)(iv), to read as follows:
        (iii)  Each transfer between Available Funds shall be
     made, and the market value of the Participant's interest in
     any Available Fund shall be determined, as of the Valuation
     Date next following the receipt of Timely Notice by James
     River; provided, however, that (i) if shares of Stock are
     sold to provide cash needed for such transfer, James River,
     in its discretion, may instruct the Trustee to value such
     shares at the amount realized from the sale, and (ii)
     effective July 1, 1986, all transfers between Available
     Funds must be made as of the end of a calendar quarter.  For
     purposes of this Section, no distinction shall be made among
     each Participant's Employee Accounts.

         (iv)  Effective January 1, 1994, a Participant who has
     attained age 59-1/2 may elect to transfer 25%, 50%, 75% or
     100% of the market value of such Participant's interest in
     any Available Fund (including any interest held in the
     Participant's Crown Stock Account) to any other Available
     Fund, subject to the restrictions in Section 8(d)(ii), by
     filing the prescribed form with James River.  All transfers
     between Available Funds must be made as of the end of a
     calendar quarter.

    II.   Effective January 1, 1994, Section 9B(b) is amended in
its entirety to read as follows:
          (b)  A Participant will be considered to have incurred
     financial hardship if he has immediate and heavy financial
     needs that cannot be fulfilled through other reasonably
     available financial resources of the Participant.  Immediate
     and heavy financial needs shall mean needs resulting from:

               (i)  Medical expenses described in Section 213(d)
          of the Code incurred by the Participant, the
          Participant's spouse, or any dependents of the
          Participant (as defined in Section 152 of the Code) or
          necessary for these persons to obtain such medical
          care;

              (ii)  Purchase (excluding mortgage payments) of a
          principal residence for the Participant;

             (iii)  Payment of tuition and related educational
          fees (excluding room and board) for the next twelve
          months of post-secondary education for the Participant
          or his spouse, children or dependents;

              (iv)  The need to prevent the eviction of the
          Participant from his personal residence or foreclosure
          on the mortgage of the Participant's principal
          residence;

               (v)  Any additional needs approved by the Internal
          Revenue Service.  

     The determination of hardship shall be made by James River
     in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner in accordance with
     such standards as may be promulgated from time to time by
     the Internal Revenue Service.  James River may rely on the
     Participant's representation that the financial need cannot
     be relieved:

              (vi)  Through reimbursement or compensation by
          insurance or otherwise;

             (vii)  By reasonable liquidation of the
          Participant's assets, to the extent such liquidation
          would not itself cause an immediate and heavy financial
          need; or

            (viii)  By other distributions or non-taxable loans
          from plans maintained by a member of the Affiliated
          Group, or by borrowing from commercial sources on
          reasonable commercial terms.

     The amount of an immediate and heavy financial need may
     include any amounts necessary to pay any federal, state, or
     local income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to
     result from the distribution.

   III.   Effective as of January 1, 1989, the Plan is amended to
correct the typographical error in Section 9B of the Plan. 
Subsections (c) through (g) are redesignated subsections (d)
through (h), and the second subsection (b) is redesignated
subsection (c).
    IV.   Effective as of January 1, 1989, Section 10(c)(ii) is
amended to read as follows:
          (ii) Bear interest at the prevailing rate in the
     community for a loan of the type being made.

     V.   Effective as of January 1, 1994, Section 20(33) is
amended by adding a sentence to the end to read as follows:
          For Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 1994,
     the amount of a Participant's Pay taken into account under
     this Section shall not exceed $150,000, or an adjusted
     amount determined pursuant to Code sections 401(a)(17) and
     415(d).

    VI.   In all respects not amended, the Plan is hereby
ratified and confirmed.
                                 * * * * *
     WITNESS the following signature this 30th day of December,
1993.
