A                 Notice of Dissolution of Group          6
                                
                                
                                
                            EXHIBIT A
                                
          On June 20, 1996, Goldman, Sachs & Co. (the "Reporting
Person") and Renaissance Fund LDC, Todd Investments Limited,
Stockton Partners L.P., Charles Bronfman Family Trust, The Kolber
Trust, S. Daniel Abraham, Arnhold and S. Bleichroeder, Inc., BEA
Associates, Continental Casualty Company and PEC Israel Economic
Corporation (collectively, the "Other Investors"), acquired from
the Issuer in a private placement certain securities that are
convertible into, or exercisable for, the Issuer's common stock,
par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock").  Accordingly, the
Reporting Person and the Other Investors may have been deemed to
have acted together for the purpose of acquiring such securities
and, therefore, to have constituted a "group" for purposes of
Rule 13d-5(b) under the Act.
          
          The Reporting Person has no understanding or agreement
with any of the Other Investors or with any other person to act
together for the purpose of holding, voting, or disposing of the
Common Stock or any other equity securities of the Issuer.
Accordingly, as of the date hereof, the Reporting Person is not a
member of a "group" for purposes of Rule 13d-5(b) under the Act
with respect to the Common Stock.  All further filings with
respect to transactions in the Common Stock will be filed, if
required, by members of the group in their individual capacity.
