Item 3. If this statement is filed pursuant to Rules 13d-1 (b) or
13d-2 (b), check whether the person filing is a:
(d.) Investment Company registered under Sec. 8 of the Investment
Company Act - Longleaf Partners Realty Fund, a series of
Longleaf Partners Funds Trust.
(e.) Investment Adviser registered under Section 203 of the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940. This statement is being filed
by Southeastern Asset Management, Inc. as a registered investment
adviser. All of the securities covered by this report are owned
legally by Southeastern's investment advisory clients and none
are owned directly or indirectly by Southeastern. As permitted
by Rule 13d-4, the filing of this statement shall not be construed
as an admission that Southeastern Asset Management, Inc. is the
beneficial owner of any of the securities covered by this statement.
(g.) Parent Holding Company. This statement is also being filed by
Mr. O. Mason Hawkins, Chairman of the Board and C.E.O. of
Southeastern Asset Management, Inc. in the event he could be
deemed to be a controlling person of that firm as the result of
his official positions with or ownership of its voting securities.
The existence of such control is expressly disclaimed. Mr. Hawkins

this statement for his own account. As permitted by Rule 13d-4,
the filing of this statement shall not be construed as an admission
that Mr. Hawkins is the beneficial owner of any of the securities

Item 4. Ownership:
(a). Amount Beneficially Owned: (At 7/31/00): 16,640,900 shares, consisting
of 2,040,900 shares of Common Stock and 14,600,000 shares of Series B
Liquidating Convertible Preferred, (the "Preferred Stock") which is convertible
at any time at the option of the Issuer or the filer into Common Stock on a one
for one basis.
Discussion. Longleaf Partners Realty Fund acquired 14,600,000 shares(68.6% of
the offering)of the Series A Liquidating Preferred Stock in a private placement
on 3/31/98. The Series A Preferred Stock was exchanged on 3/5/99 for an equal
number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock having substantially the same
conversion and liquidation rights. A registration statement for the Series B
Preferred Stock and the underlying Common Stock into which it is convertible
became effective on 7/7/00. Because the Preferred Stock does not trade and has
no market, but is convertible into Common Stock, and the filing parties own
2,040,900 shares (4.9%) of the Common Stock, the Preferred Stock is being
included in this filing as though converted into Common Stock.
(b). Percent of Class:
29.4% if the filers' shares of Preferred Stock are converted into Common Stock.
26.3% if all shares of Preferred Stock are converted into Common Stock.
4.9% of Common Stock as a separate class assuming no conversion of the
Preferred Stock.
Above percentages are based on 41,963,435 shares of Common Stock and 21,281,000
shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding at May 12, 2000.
(c). Number of shares as to which such person has:
(i). sole power to vote or to direct the vote:
0 shares
(ii). shared or no power to vote or to direct the vote:
Shared - 2,040,900 shares of common stock and 14,600,000
shares of Preferred Stock.
Securities owned by Longleaf Partners Realty Fund, a series of
Longleaf Partners Funds Trust, an open-end management
investment company registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940.
No Power to Vote - 0 shares. This figure does not
