United States Federal Income Taxation:

      The Internal Revenue Service Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998
eliminated the 18-month holding period requirement for certain individual
taxpayers to qualify for the lowest tax rate for capital gain.  The minimum
holding period required to qualify for the lowest tax rate currently is 12
months.  In addition, the effective date of the New Regulations (as defined in
"United States Federal Taxation -- Backup Withholding" in the accompanying
Prospectus Supplement) has been changed so that the New Regulations will apply
to payments made after December 31, 1999.  Lastly, the definition of "Foreign
Holder" (as defined in "United States Federal Taxation" in the accompanying
Prospectus Supplement) has been amended so that, with respect to a corporation
or partnership, Foreign Holder means a corporation, partnership or other
entity that was not created or organized in or under the laws of the United
States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia.

Limitations on Issuance Bearer Securities and Bearer Debt Warrants:

      The definition of "United States person" (as defined in "Limitations on
Issuance of Bearer Securities and Bearer Debt Warrants" in the accompanying
Prospectus) has been amended so that, with respect to a corporation or
partnership, United States person means a corporation, partnership or other
entity that was created or organized in or under the laws of the United
States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia.

 Capitalized terms not defined above have the meanings given to such terms in
                    the accompanying Prospectus Supplement.
