<F1> On August 10, 1993, the President signed the Revenue
Reconciliation Act of 1993. The effect on earnings in
the third quarter of 1993 resulting from the corporate
federal tax rate change enacted as part of such law
was to increase income tax expense by $8.4 million
with a corresponding reduction in net income.

OTHER INFORMATION
The information in the Prospectus set forth under the caption "RISK FACTORS-
Relationship with MDC" is supplemented by the following:
MDC has accepted, with clarifications, a proposal from the Department of
Defense on an overall business settlement of a variety of issues
concerning the C-17 program. In connection with the settlement, MDC
expects to record a charge to pre-tax earnings of approximately $450
million in the fourth quarter of 1993. The settlement is not expected to
result in a significant adverse cash impact to MDC. MDC and the U.S. Air
Force will be developing plans, contractual modifications and agreements
to implement the business arrangement, which is subject to congressional
authorization and appropriations.
The U.S. Navy has advised MDC and General Dynamics Corporation ("GD") that
the 1993 review of the deferment agreement between MDC, GD and the Navy
with respect to the A-12 aircraft is continuing, in particular with
respect to the impact of the C-17 settlement between the Government and
MDC described in the preceding paragraph. The Navy has stated that MDC
and GD will be advised of the results of the review and any action that
may be taken by the Government on or about February 4, 1994. MDC and GD
also were advised that this timing does not suggest any adverse
implication for the outcome of the review. MDC firmly believes it is
entitled to have the deferment agreement continued and did not agree to
the Navy's unilateral continuation of the review.
