     This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D amends the Schedule 13D filed on
January 15, 1992 by Lennie Sam Skaggs and Aline W. Skaggs, husband and wife, and
the ALSAM Trust, formerly called the Lennie Sam and Aline Wilmot Skaggs Family
Trust (the "Trust"), as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on February 28,
1995.  The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission
that Lennie Sam Skaggs, Aline W. Skaggs or the Trust (collectively the
"Reporting Persons") are, for the purposes of section 13(d) or 13(g) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the beneficial owners of any

foundation.  Such shares represent approximately 2% of the Company's outstanding
shares.  Mr. and Mrs. Skaggs are members of the managing committee and the board
of directors, respectively, of such charitable foundations and, in these
fiduciary capacities, share voting and dispositive power with respect to the
shares of Common Stock owned by the foundations.  Mr. and Mrs. Skaggs do not
have any pecuniary interest in the shares owned by either foundation and each
disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares.

     (b)  Mr. and Mrs. Skaggs each have shared voting and shared dispositive
power with respect to the 24,515,008 shares held of record by the Trust.  Mr.
