Taxation

     The following discussion of the United States federal income tax
consequences of the ownership of the Notes supplements, and to the extent
inconsistent with replaces, the discussion under the caption "Taxation" in the
Prospectus Supplement dated October 8, 1993.  Terms not defined herein have
the same meanings as in the Prospectus Supplement.

     This discussion is based on regulations concerning the treatment of debt
instruments issued with original issue discount (the "OID Regulations") and
related provisions of the Code.  The OID Regulations are effective for Notes
issued on or after April 4, 1994.  

     Under Section 1.1275-5 of the OID Regulations, as under the Proposed OID
Regulations, the Notes will be treated as variable rate debt instruments and
will not bear original issue discount.  As a result, the stated interest on
the Notes will be taxable to a United States Holder as ordinary income at the 
time that it is received or accrued, depending on the United States Holder's
method of accounting.  While the OID Regulations have amended many provisions 
of the Proposed OID Regulations, such amendments are not relevant to the
Notes.
