This Amendment No. 3 amends the Statement on Schedule 13G (the
"Schedule 13G") of Hoechst Marion Roussel, Inc. (formerly Marion Merrell
Dow Inc.) ("HMRI") dated February 11, 1992, as amended through the date
hereof. This amendment is filed solely to report a change of ownership of
the outstanding stock of HMRI. Dow Chemical Company ("Dow") no longer owns
a majority interest of the outstanding common stock of HMRI. 88.5% of the
outstanding common stock is now owned by Hoechst Corporation, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Hoechst Aktiengesellschaft, a German corporation
("Hoechst AG"), and the balance by various other subsidiaries of Hoechst
AG. HMRI is the owner of the securities to which this Statement relates,
with respect to which HMRI (as Marion Merrell Dow Inc.) has filed a
Statement on Schedule 13G.
