V. Use of Proceeds
The last paragraph of Item I, Section V, is amended in its
entirety to read as follows:
The Entergy System's "aggregate investment" in EWGs and
FUCOs was approximately $654 million, representing approximately
29% of the Entergy System's consolidated retained earnings, as of
June 30, 1996. Furthermore, the Entergy System has complied with
and will continue to comply with the record keeping requirements
of Rule 53(a)(2) concerning affiliated EWGs and FUCOs. In
addition, as required by Rule 53(a)(3), no more than 2% of the
employees of the Entergy System's domestic public utility
subsidiary companies would render services to affiliated EWGs and
FUCOs. Finally, none of the conditions set forth in Rule 53(b),
under which the provisions of Rule 53 would not be available,
have been met.
