Harris has been granted the power to vote Shares in circumstances it
determines to be appropriate in connection with assisting its advised
clients to whom it renders financial advise in the ordinary course of
business, by either providing information or advice to the persons
having such power, or by exercising the power to vote.
In addition, Harris serves as investment adviser to the Harris
Associates Investment Trust (the "Trust"), and various of
Harris' officers and directors are also officers and trustees
of the Trust. Harris does not consider that the Trust is
controlled by such persons. The Trust, through its various
series, owns 1,544,100 Shares, which are included as Shares
over which Harris has shared voting and dispositive power, and
thus, as Shares beneficially owned by Harris because of
Harris' power to manage the Trust's investments. Harris also
serves as investment adviser to a small number of other
clients who may own Shares, but for which Harris does not have
discretionary authority. Nevertheless, if owned by such
clients, these Shares are included as Shares over which Harris
has shared voting and dispositive power, although Harris may
not be deemed the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3)
of such shares.
Item 5 Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class:
As of October 31, 1999, Harris ceased to be a beneficial owner of

having such purpose or effect.

certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete
