                                PROXY STATEMENT
                       FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
 
                    SOLICITATION AND REVOCABILITY OF PROXIES
 
     This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of
proxies by the Board of Directors of Temple-Inland Inc. (the "Company") for use
at the 1996 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on Friday, May 3, 1996, at
the time and place and for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of
Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and at any adjournment(s) thereof. This Proxy
Statement and form of proxy are first being sent to the stockholders of the
Company on or about March 22, 1996.
 
     The accompanying form of proxy is designed to permit each stockholder
entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting to vote for or withhold voting for any or
all nominees for election as director, to vote for or against or to abstain from
voting on proposal 2, and in the discretion of the proxies with respect to any
other proposal brought before the Annual Meeting. When a stockholder's proxy
card specifies a choice with respect to a voting matter, the shares will be
voted and will be voted as specified. If no such specifications are made, the
accompanying form of proxy will be voted at the Annual Meeting: For the election
of the nominees under the caption "Election of Directors;" and For ratification
of the selection of Ernst & Young LLP as independent auditors for the Company
for the fiscal year ending December 28, 1996.
 
     Execution of the accompanying proxy will not affect a stockholder's right
to attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person. Any stockholder giving a proxy
has the right to revoke it by giving written notice of revocation to the
Secretary of the Company at its principal executive offices at any time before
the proxy is voted or by executing and delivering a later-dated proxy or by
attending the Annual Meeting and voting his or her shares in person. No such
notice of revocation or later-dated proxy, however, will be effective until
received by the Company at or prior to the Annual Meeting.
 
     The Company has retained D.F. King & Co., Inc., a professional proxy
solicitation firm ("D.F. King"), to assist in the solicitation of proxies. In
addition to the solicitation of proxies by use of the mail, employees of D.F.
King and officers and regular employees of the Company may solicit the return of
proxies by personal interview, mail, telephone and telegraph. Officers and
employees of the Company will not receive additional compensation, but will be
reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses. D.F. King will be reimbursed for its
expenses in soliciting proxies and, in addition, will receive a proxy
solicitation fee not to exceed $11,500. Brokerage houses and other custodians,
nominees and fiduciaries will be requested to forward solicitation material to
the beneficial owners of stock. All costs of solicitation are to be borne by the
Company.
 
     The Annual Report to Shareholders, covering the Company's fiscal year ended
December 30, 1995 and including audited financial statements, is enclosed
herewith. The Annual Report does not form any part of the material for the
solicitation of proxies.

                             ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
 
     The By-laws of the Company provide that the number of directors that
constitutes the Board of Directors shall be established by vote of the Board of
Directors and that the directors shall be classified with respect to the time
for which they severally hold office into three classes, which classes shall as
nearly as possible be equal in size. The Board of Directors has set the number
of directors at ten (10), with two classes of three (3) directors each and one
class of four (4) directors.
 
     Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of
the Company's Common Stock at a meeting at which a quorum is present.
"Plurality" means that the individuals who receive the largest number of votes
cast are elected as directors up to the maximum number of directors to be chosen
at the meeting. Consequently, any shares not voted (whether by abstention,
broker nonvote or otherwise) have no impact in the election of directors except
to the extent the failure to vote for an individual results in another
individual receiving a larger number of votes.

     Unless otherwise indicated in the enclosed form of proxy, the persons named
in such proxy intend to nominate and vote for the election of the following
nominees for the office of director of the Company, to serve as directors for

approximately 91 acres of land for $141,000, certain pine and hardwood timber on
approximately 152 acres of land for approximately $136,945, and all merchantable
timber on approximately 112 acres of land for approximately $239,037. Mr. Temple
is the father of Mr. Temple III and Ms. C. Temple. Temple-Inland Forest Products
Corporation also purchased all merchantable pine timber on approximately 10
acres of land for approximately $62,393 from a partnership, one of whose
partners is Exeter Investment Company. Mr. Temple III is the Chairman of Exeter
Investment Company and the family of Mr. Temple III and Ms. C. Temple owns a
controlling interest in Exeter Investment Company. All together, Mr. Arthur
Temple was paid $335,299 in 1995 for the timber purchases described above.
Payment for certain of this timber will be made as the timber is cut, which may
take place in 1996. In all cases, the value of the timber was determined by an
appraisal conducted by the Company's foresters.
 
     In 1995, Guaranty Federal Bank, F.S.B., a consumer savings bank that is an
indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, renewed a loan made during
1994 to a limited partnership, one of whose limited partners is Harold C.
Maxwell, a Group Vice President of the Company. The loan, which was paid off in
1995, was made in the ordinary course of business, was made on substantially the
same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the
time for comparable transactions with other persons, and did not involve more
than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features.
 
     Mr. Cizik is Chairman of the Board of Cooper Industries, Inc. ("Cooper").
During 1995, Inland Container Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company, purchased air compressors, parts, and servicing from Cooper at an
aggregate price of $193,182 in the ordinary course of business. In some cases,
Cooper is the only source for such air compressors, parts, or servicing. It is
expected that Inland Container Corporation may make similar purchases in the
future.

     Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee periodically reviews the
structure of the Board to assure that the proper skills and experience are
represented on the Board, recommends nominees to serve on the Board of
Directors, reviews potential conflicts of prospective Board members, recommends

a nomination for the Board of Directors must contain certain specified
information regarding the nominating stockholder and the nominee and must be
received by the Secretary of the Company not less than 75 days nor more than 100
days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting
of stockholders (or in the case of an annual meeting called for a date more than
50 days prior to such anniversary date or in the case of a special meeting of

issues of social and public concern, as well as significant legislative,
regulatory and social trends. The members of the Public Policy/Environmental
Committee are Messrs. L. Temple (Chairman), Anderson, Cizik and Ms. C. Temple.
The Chairman of the Board is a nonvoting ex-officio member. The Public
Policy/Environmental Committee met two (2) times during 1995.
 
BOARD MEETINGS
 
     During 1995, the Board of Directors held four (4) meetings. Each director
attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of the
Board of Directors and the total number of meetings held by all committees of
the Board on which he served.
 
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
 
     Directors who are not employees of the Company will receive in 1996 an
annual retainer of $35,000 and a $2,000 fee for attendance at regular and
special Board meetings. Directors who serve on committees of the Board receive
$1,000 for each committee meeting held in conjunction with a Board meeting and
$2,000 for each other committee meeting. The chairmen of committees of the Board
receive an additional annual retainer of $2,500. Directors are reimbursed for
expenses incurred in attending Board and committee meetings, including those for
travel, food and lodging. Directors and members of committees of the Board who
are employees of the Company are not compensated for their Board and committee
activities.
 
     Under the Company's Stock Option Plan, each person who is first elected a
non-employee director is automatically granted upon such election a nonqualified
stock option covering 10,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price per
share equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date the option is
granted. Any non-employee director may also, pursuant to the terms of the
Company's Stock Option Plan, make an election to receive nonqualified stock
options in lieu of his annual retainer fees.
 
     Under the Retirement and Deferred Compensation Plan for Directors of
Temple-Inland Inc. (the "Directors' Retirement Plan"), a non-employee director
who remains a member of the Board until retirement age or who retires earlier
after serving on the Board for a period of at least ten (10) years is entitled
to receive an annual retirement benefit equal to the then current annual
retainer fee. The benefit will be paid for a number of years equal to the
greater of (i) the number of years the director served as a member of the Board,
 
                                       10
<PAGE>   13
 
or (ii) five (5) years. In the event of the director's death, the remainder of
the benefit will be paid to his spouse if living.
 
     In lieu of the retirement benefits previously described, if a non-employee
director ceases to be a member of the Board at any time within two (2) years
after the occurrence of a change in control of the Company for any reason other
than the director's retirement or death, the director will be paid a lump-sum
retirement benefit equal to the product of (A) and (B), where (A) is the greater
of five (5) or the number of years the director served as a member of the Board,
and (B) is the greater of the annual retainer fee being paid to directors at the
time the director ceases to be a member of the Board or the annual retainer fee
in effect immediately prior to the change in control. In the event that the
retirement benefit payable to a director is subject to the 20% excise tax
imposed under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 with respect to certain payments
made in connection with a change in control, the Directors' Retirement Plan
provides for an additional payment to be made to the director such that he
retains on an after-tax basis the same amount as he would have if no excise tax
had been imposed.
 
     Under the Directors' Retirement Plan, a non-employee director may also
elect to defer his Board fees until the earlier of retirement, death, or, in
certain circumstances, termination of membership on the Board. Any Board fees
that are deferred accrue interest at the prime commercial lending rate.
 
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
 
  Report of the Management Development and Executive Compensation Committee on
  Executive Compensation
 
     The Company's executive compensation program is designed to align
compensation with business strategy, performance, and stockholder values. The
program includes salary, short term cash incentives, and a long term program
based on stock options. The Committee considers all elements of the compensation
package in total, rather than any one element in isolation. In 1995, for
example, salaries were increased for the first time since 1993, while incentive
bonuses were used to reward performance and long term incentive awards were made
as motivation for future performance. In making compensation decisions, the
Committee uses a general process and exercises its business judgment to
determine the amounts.
 
     It is the Company's policy to obtain the maximum deduction on its tax
return for compensation paid to its executive officers consistent with the
Company's compensation goals. In 1995, the Committee adopted a policy requiring
the deferral of any compensation that exceeds the permissible deduction under
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code until such time as the maximum
deduction under Section 162(m) may be taken. All compensation paid in 1995
should qualify for a deduction under Section 162(m).
 
     Since its inception in 1984, Temple-Inland's compensation philosophy has
been to ensure that shareholder returns are a top priority in evaluating the
effectiveness of the compensation program. The following paragraphs outline the
Compensation Committee's objectives.
 
     Base Salary. Base salaries are maintained at competitive levels considering
the performance and longevity of the employee. To ensure that the Company's
compensation remains competitive, the Committee from time to time reviews
information from several independent surveys of comparably-sized companies.
Since the market for executive talent extends beyond any particular industry,
the survey data includes both companies in the industry as well as companies
outside the industrial classification represented in the Paper Industry Index
referred to below under "Performance Graph." While the Committee does not target
salary levels to the high, median or low end of the ranges or to any particular
percentile, surveys indicate base salaries for the Company's named executive
officers are currently below the 50th percentile for the average of similar
companies. Base salaries are usually reviewed every two years and were increased
in 1995. In making its salary decisions, the Committee places its emphasis on
the particular executive's experience, responsibilities, and performance. No
specific formula is applied to determine the weight of each factor. However, the
Company has historically followed a policy of using the incentive bonus rather
than base salary to reward outstanding performance.
 
                                       11
<PAGE>   14
 
     Incentive Bonus. Short term cash incentive awards are largely based on
individual performance and on the performance of the group or business segment
in which the individual is a key employee. Included in the evaluation of an
employee are the current earnings of the group, personal performance, and the
degree to which the employee's actions have laid the groundwork for future
earnings. Financial performance of the business segment is given greater weight
than other business accomplishments in determining bonus payments. The types and
relative importance of specific financial and other business factors vary among
the Company's executives depending on their positions and the particular
operations or functions for which they are responsible. The evaluation of the
CEO is based on the consolidated results of the Company.
 
     The Committee does not establish targeted award levels or goals at the
beginning of the year. Instead, the Committee reviews actual earnings and
performance (including comparisons to competitors where appropriate) after the
end of the year and determines in its business judgment the size of each
executive's award. The Corrugated Container Group had earnings of $344 million
in 1995 compared to $102 million in 1994, and the Group Vice President of this
segment received a bonus of $400,000 in 1995 compared to $175,000 in 1994. The
Financial Services Group had earnings of $98.1 million in 1995 compared to $56.3
million in 1994, and the Group Vice President of this segment received a bonus
of $400,000 in 1995 compared to $250,000 in 1994. The Building Products Group
had earnings of $61 million in 1995 compared to $132.6 million in 1994, and the
Group Vice President of this segment received a bonus of $225,000 in 1995
compared to $275,000 in 1994. The Bleached Paperboard Group had earnings of
$18.6 million in 1995 compared to a loss of $22.1 million for 1994, and the
Group Vice President of this segment received a bonus of $125,000 in 1995
compared to $75,000 in 1994. No specific weightings have been assigned under the
bonus program to the factors considered by the Committee in the exercise of its
business judgment.
 
     Long Term Incentive Awards. In 1995, the key executives listed in the proxy
statement received an annual tandem grant of stock options and performance units
under a long term incentive program that had been in effect since 1984. As noted
below, this program will be modified for future awards. There is no other long
term incentive program. The primary emphasis of the program is the stock option
grant, which is a dollar value of options based on the executive's position and
importance to the Company's long range performance. These options are granted at
market. Options granted in 1995 and prior years expire in five (5) years. Option
awards are basically set at a percentage of targeted compensation. However,
within these guidelines, the Committee also considers previous option grants,
tenure, and responsibilities of the executive. In the case of a new key
executive, an initial grant may be made above targeted levels.
 
     Since the tandem Performance Unit Plan was adopted, the Committee has held
the belief that the cash award should have less potential than the tandem stock
option award as an additional incentive for the executive to attempt to increase
shareholder value. The potential cash award under the Performance Unit Plan was
not only reduced to 50% of the option value, but was also capped at 150% of the
initial grant value. The tandem performance unit grant expires in four (4)
years. The performance unit is terminated by an exercise of the option granted
at the same time. If the performance unit is paid, the related stock option is
canceled.
 
     The performance unit has certain hurdles to ensure that the Company's
performance in the next four (4) years exceeds its performance in the past four
(4) years as well as inflation. Reference is made to page 15 for a more complete
explanation of the potential payouts under the Performance Unit Plan. The
Committee has determined that the formula previously used to measure the
Company's earnings per share growth rate in comparison to an industry peer group
no longer provides mathematically meaningful results due to the negative
earnings of certain of the peer companies during the measurement period. The
Committee will therefore eliminate this criteria from the calculation of payouts
for performance unit shares. The payouts will be determined based on the
Company's performance under the return on equity formula in the test. Although
annual awards have been made since 1984, the specified formulas have only
generated one (1) cash payment which occurred in 1991. In all other years, the
performance unit awards have been terminated without payment, although the
related stock option awards continued for another year. Likewise, on February 1,
1996, the Committee determined that the performance units awarded on February 7,
1992 did not meet the performance hurdles over the award period from 1992
through 1995 and terminated the performance units without payment. The related
stock option award granted in 1992 continues until February 1997.
 
                                       12
<PAGE>   15
 
     With the exception of an initial award to Mr. Howes upon his employment in
1990 to replace awards from his former employer that were forfeited, the key
executives included in the proxy statement do not receive restricted stock
awards. The Company maintains a policy of having this alternative available to
attract new executives.
 
     The Committee has recently completed a review of the Company's long term
compensation practices with the help of Sibson & Company, a compensation
consultant. The Committee has decided to rely exclusively on stock options in
future years and will not grant any further awards under the Performance Unit
Plan. To bring the Company's stock option awards in line with competitive
practices and to compensate executives for the loss of the performance unit
awards, the Committee is lengthening the term of the stock options to ten years.
A comparable adjustment will be made to the vesting schedule for these options,
which will vest 15% per year on the second, third, fourth, and fifth
anniversaries and 40% on the sixth anniversary following the date of grant. The
Committee believes these changes to its long term compensation program will
further align executives' interests with those of the Company's shareholders.
 
     The Chief Executive Officer. In reviewing Mr. Grum's performance, the
Committee considers all of the factors set forth in the above paragraphs.
However, the Committee focuses primarily on the Company's performance, measured
in large part by its net earnings. The Company's 1995 earnings per share were
$5.01, up 113% from the prior year's $2.35 (net of accounting changes), and Mr.
Grum received a bonus of $500,000 in 1995 compared to his bonus of $300,000 in
1994. Mr. Grum received a $97,000 increase in base salary in February 1995. A
comparison of Mr. Grum's cash compensation for the last three (3) years with the
Company's net earnings during that period is set forth in the following table:

1995................................ $588,808      $500,000      $1,088,808   $281.0 Million
1994................................ $503,000      $300,000      $  803,000   $131.4 Million
1993................................ $495,250      $100,000      $  595,250   $117.3 Million
</TABLE>
 
     As noted above, the size of long term incentive awards is set in accordance
with the individual executive's responsibilities, other awards, and performance.
Mr. Grum's awards were determined in this same manner. He received 7,912 options
in 1993, 11,428 in 1994, and 12,800 in 1995. The difference in the number of
options granted from year to year is due to variations in the stock price on the
date of award ($50.56 in 1993, $52.50 in 1994 and $46.88 in 1995), as well as
adjustments made by the Committee in consideration of previous grants. The grant
in 1994 reflected an increase due to the Committee's determination that the
number of units granted should be revised upward to reflect competitive
incentive program practices for other companies within the competitive universe.
In each case, Mr. Grum received a tandem performance unit award equal to
one-half ( 1/2) the number of options.

     other than pursuant to a plan, does not exceed the lesser of $50,000 or 10%
     of the annual salary and bonus reported for each officer and is therefore

     None of the five (5) executive officers named above has an employment
contract with the Company or an agreement providing for severance payments in
the event his employment is terminated.
 
     During 1995, the Company had a stock option plan in place under which
options were granted to employees. Employees also exercised options granted
under a prior plan. Each of the plans was approved by the stockholders and
administered by non-employee members of the Board of Directors. The options were
granted at full market value on the date of the grant, and these exercise prices
have never been reduced. Options have been granted to approximately 325 current
middle and upper level company employees who have direct responsibilities to
improve the profitability of the Company.

(1)  Options to purchase Temple-Inland Inc. common stock. The exercise price is
     the average of the high and low sales price of a share of Company Common
     Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant. Exercise prices
     have never been repriced. Withholding taxes may be paid with exercised
     shares. No general or freestanding stock appreciation rights ("SARs") were
     granted. All grants to the named executive officers under the Stock Option
     Plan include a provision for acceleration of vesting in certain change of
     control situations. Options become exercisable in 25% increments on
     08/02/95, 02/02/96, 02/02/97, and 02/02/98.
 
     Each of the named executives was granted one (1) tandem performance unit
     valued at $46.88, the fair market value of a share of the Company's Common
     Stock on the date of grant, for every two (2) options granted. The
     performance goals for this award will be measured over the four (4) year
     period from 1995 through 1998.
 
     Under the terms of the performance unit award, a cash payment is possible
     only if (i) the Company's average earnings per share during the four (4)
     year grant period exceeds the average earnings per share for the four (4)
     years prior to the date of grant, and (ii) the Company's average return on
     equity exceeds 9%, which will be adjusted upward if that rate does not
     exceed the average rate of inflation plus 3%.
 
     These standards would yield a threshold award of $12,500 on a $100,000
     grant. To the extent the threshold levels are exceeded, it is possible to
     receive a maximum award of 150% of the initial value. The maximum award on
     a $100,000 grant would be $150,000.
 
     Performance units are canceled if the related stock options are exercised,
     and the stock options are canceled if the performance units are paid.

     The above table shows the estimated annual pension payable upon retirement
to employees in specified remuneration and years-of-service classifications.
Retirement benefits are calculated using final average pay
 
                                       17
<PAGE>   20
 
based on the highest five (5) of the employee's last ten (10) years of service.
Compensation covered by the Company's retirement plans includes salaries and
bonuses, but excludes all other forms of compensation shown in the foregoing
tables such as stock options and performance units. Messrs. Ashcraft, Grum,
Howes, Jastrow and Maxwell are currently credited with approximately 27, 27, 5,
17 and 32 years of service, respectively. If such officers continue in the
employ of the Company until their respective retirement dates, at such time they
would be credited with approximately 42, 31, 11, 33 and 42 years of service,
respectively. The estimated amounts are based on the assumption that payments
under the Company's retirement plans will commence upon normal retirement (age
65), that the Company's retirement plans will continue in force and that the
benefit payment will be in the form of a life annuity. Amounts shown in the
table above are not subject to any deduction for Social Security or other offset
amounts.
 
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
 
     Mr. Temple III is a director, officer and 66 2/3% stockholder of Demco
Manufacturing Company ("Demco"). During 1995, Demco performed machinery repair
services for Temple-Inland Forest Products Corporation, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, in the ordinary course of business at an aggregate
cost to Temple-Inland Forest Products Corporation of $95,509. It is expected
that Demco will continue to perform services for subsidiaries of the Company in
the future.
 
     Mr. Temple III is also a director of Contractor's Supplies, Inc.
("Contractor's"). A corporation effectively controlled by the family of Mr.
Temple III and Ms. C. Temple owns approximately 37% of Contractor's outstanding
capital stock. During 1995, subsidiaries of the Company purchased concrete from
Contractor's at an aggregate price of $109,354 in the ordinary course of
business. It is expected that subsidiaries of the Company will continue to
purchase concrete from Contractor's and its subsidiaries in the future.
 
     In 1995, Temple-Inland Forest Products Corporation purchased several tracts
of timber from Mr. Arthur Temple as follows: all merchantable pine timber on
approximately 91 acres of land for $141,000, certain pine and hardwood timber on
approximately 152 acres of land for approximately $136,945, and all merchantable
timber on approximately 112 acres of land for approximately $239,037. Mr. Temple
is the father of Mr. Temple III and Ms. C. Temple. Temple-Inland Forest Products
Corporation also purchased all merchantable pine timber on approximately 10
acres of land for approximately $62,393 from a partnership, one of whose
partners is Exeter Investment Company. Mr. Temple III is the Chairman of Exeter
Investment Company and the family of Mr. Temple III and Ms. C. Temple owns a
controlling interest in Exeter Investment Company. All together, Mr. Arthur
Temple was paid $335,299 in 1995 for the timber purchases described above.
Payment for certain of this timber will be made as the timber is cut, which may
take place in 1996. In all cases, the value of the timber was determined by an
appraisal conducted by the Company's foresters.
 
            PROPOSAL TO RATIFY THE SELECTION OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP AS
            INDEPENDENT AUDITORS OF THE COMPANY FOR THE FISCAL YEAR
                            ENDING DECEMBER 28, 1996
 
     Upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors,
none of whose members is an officer of the Company, the Board of Directors has
selected Ernst & Young LLP as independent auditors for the Company to examine
its consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 28,
1996 and has determined that it would be desirable to request that the
stockholders ratify such selection. Ernst & Young LLP currently serves the
Company and its subsidiaries as independent auditors. Representatives of Ernst &
Young LLP will be present at the Annual Meeting with the opportunity to make a
statement if they desire to do so and will be available to respond to
appropriate questions from stockholders.

     Stockholder ratification is not required for the selection of Ernst & Young
LLP, since the Board of Directors has the responsibility for selecting the
Company's independent auditors. The selection, however, is being submitted for
ratification at the Annual Meeting. No determination has been made as to what
action the Board of Directors would take if stockholders do not ratify the
selection.
 
     THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THE RATIFICATION OF ERNST &
YOUNG LLP AS INDEPENDENT AUDITORS OF THE COMPANY FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING
DECEMBER 28, 1996.
 
                                 OTHER BUSINESS
 
     The Board of Directors knows of no other business that may properly be, or
which is likely to be, brought before the Annual Meeting. If, however, any other
business should properly be presented to the Annual Meeting, the persons named
in the accompanying proxy will vote the proxy as in their discretion they may
deem appropriate.
 
                   DATE FOR RECEIPT OF STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS
 
     Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, stockholders may present proper proposals for inclusion in the
Company's proxy statement and for consideration at its Annual Meeting of
Stockholders by submitting their proposals to the Company in a timely manner. In
order to be so included for the 1997 Annual Meeting, stockholder proposals must
be received by the Company by November 22, 1996 and must otherwise comply with
the requirements of Rule 14a-8.
 
     The Company's By-laws contain an advance notice procedure with regard to
items of business to be brought before an Annual Meeting of Stockholders by a
stockholder. These procedures require that notice be made in writing to the
Secretary of the Company and that such notice be received at the executive
offices of the Company not less than 75 days nor more than 100 days prior to the
anniversary date of the immediately preceding Annual Meeting of Stockholders (or
in the case of an annual meeting called for a date more than 50 days prior to
such anniversary date, not later than the close of business on the 10th day
following the date on which notice of such annual meeting is first mailed to
stockholders or made public, whichever occurs first). The By-laws require that
the notice of the proposal contain certain information concerning the proposing
stockholder and the proposal. The Company's By-laws also contain an advance
notice procedure for the nomination of candidates for election to the Board of
Directors by stockholders. For a brief description of such procedures, see
"Committees of the Board of Directors -- Nominating Committee." A copy of the
By-law advance notice provision may be obtained, without charge, upon written
request to the Secretary of the Company at the address set forth on page 1 of
this Proxy Statement.
