INVESTMENTS

      At  the beginning of the year, the Company adopted SFAS No. 115,
Accounting  for  Certain  Investments in Debt and  Equity  Securities.
SFAS   No.  115  supersedes  SFAS  No.  12  which  generally  required
investments in marketable equity securities to be carried at the lower
of  aggregate  market  or amortized cost.  Under  SFAS  No.  115,  the
Company  now  classifies  its minority equity investments  in  certain
marketable securities as available-for-sale and reports them  at  fair
value in the consolidated balance sheet.  The aggregate fair value  of
these  investments  at  February  25,  1995  was  $31.2  million.  The
unrealized  gain of $22.5 million, net of the related deferred  income
tax  effect  of $9.0 million, is reported as a separate  component  of
shareholders' equity.



SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM DEBT

      During the quarter ended February 25, 1995, the Company extended
the  $150.0  million revolving credit agreement with  Morgan  Guaranty
Trust  Company of New York as agent from a maturity date of March  10,
1996 to December 1, 1998.

     The provision for income taxes was calculated at estimated annual
effective  rates of 26% and 34%, respectively, for the quarters  ended
February  25, 1995 and February 26, 1994.  The provision  for  the  39
weeks  ended February 26, 1994 was reduced by a first quarter gain  of
$2.3  million  on  recalculation  of  deferred  income  tax  benefits,
primarily  as  a  result of the enactment of federal  tax  legislation
increasing the corporate income tax rate from 34% to 35%.

CONTINGENCIES

      The Company has reported on certain claims asserted by Jerome J.
Lemelson in Item 3., Legal Proceedings, of its Annual Report  on  Form
10-K  for  the  fiscal year ended May 28, 1994.  The Company  believes
that  ultimate  resolution of these claims will not  have  a  material
adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations.


                                            
ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                            
                            Financial Condition



      The  Company's  financial condition is strong.  Cash  flow  from

operating  activities and borrowing capacity from  existing  lines  of

credit  are  sufficient to meet current and anticipated future  needs.

At  the  end  of  the  third quarter (February 25,1995),  the  Company

maintained  bank credit facilities totaling $312.6 million,  of  which

$257.1  million  was  unused.  The unused  facilities  include  $107.1

million in lines of credit and $150.0 million under a revolving credit

agreement from United States and foreign banks.

                                            6
<PAGE>
      Current  assets increased by $39.2 million from the  prior  year

end,   due  to  an  increase in inventories and other current  assets,

partly   offset  by  reductions  in  cash  and  accounts   receivable.

Inventories  increased by $53.7 million as the  Company  introduced  a

number  of new products, including color printers, video products  and

measurement  products,  and  experienced higher  order  rates.   Other

current  assets  increased by $7.6 million due to the recording  of  a

note  receivable of $15.3 million on sale of a building, partly offset

by  reductions  in deferred taxes and other prepaid items.    Accounts

receivable  declined  by $5.8 million because  of  the  lower  average

weekly  sales in the third quarter compared to the prior year's fourth

quarter.

      Net  property, plant and equipment declined by $5.0  million  as

depreciation  and  dispositions,  including  the  divestiture  of  the

Circuit  Board  Division,  exceeded new capital additions.   Long-term

deferred tax assets decreased by $9.6 million primarily due to the tax

impact  from  recognition of unrealized holding gains  on  investments

under  SFAS 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity

Securities, discussed further below under other long-term assets.

     Other long-term assets increased by $76.6 million as a result of

the  Company's  investment in equity and notes  of  Merix  Corporation

(formerly  the Circuit Board Division) and the accounting for  certain

investments  in  accordance with SFAS 115.   Under SFAS  115,  certain

investments  in marketable securities are classified as available  for

sale  and reported at fair value.  The adjustment to fair value  added

$22.5 million to other long term assets and the unrealized gains, less

deferred taxes, are reported in unrealized holding gains as a separate

component  of  shareholders' equity.   The Company  accounts  for  its

investment   in  Merix  Corporation on  the  equity  method  with  the

earnings  impact included in equity in business ventures net  earnings

(losses)  in  the consolidated statements of 

                                            7

operations.   The  Company  also  recorded  several  long  term  notes 

receivable on  sales  of  real estate and licensing of technologies in 

the current year.
    
      Current liabilities increased by $26.2 million.  Short-term debt

rose  by   $39.3 million primarily to fund working capital.   Accounts

payable  decreased  $8.7  million, and accrued compensation  decreased

$8.3   million,  due  to  the  timing  of  some  trade  payables   and

restructuring  activities,  the  payment  of  year-end  accruals   for

incentives and commissions, the payment of employee severance  charged

against  restructuring reserves and lower accrual requirements because

of  the  disposition of non-strategic  businesses.   The  decrease  in

accrued compensation was net of $13.6 million reclassified from  long-

term liabilities.
    
      Other  long-term liabilities decreased $9.9 million due  to  the

reclassification  to accrued compensation, partly  offset  by  pension

accruals.  Shareholders'  equity  increased  by   $80.6  million   due  

primarily   to  earnings  net   of   dividends,   favorable   currency

adjustments  due  to  the  depreciating  United  States  dollar,   the

addition of unrealized holding gains in accordance with SFAS  115  and

the exercise of stock options.

                                     



                           Restructuring Charges



      The  Company  continues  its consolidation  of   facilities  and

reduction  of  workforce, as described in the 1994  Annual  Report  to

shareholders,  reducing restructuring reserves  to  approximately  $19

million  at  the  end of the current quarter.    The Company  is  also

proceeding with the discontinuance of  older, low-volume products.

     In the first nine months of fiscal 1995, net earnings were  $55.9

million, or $1.83 per share compared with $36.7 million, or $1.20  per

share in the first nine months of fiscal 1994.

     Net Sales were $1,026.0 million, an increase of 9% from the prior

year's  total  of  $940.1  million.  Sales  from  continuing  business

increased  by 17% from $867.5 million in 1994 to $1,017.2  million  in

1995.    Other  sales,  which  include  the  non-strategic  businesses

disposed  of  at  the end of last year and during the  first  quarter,

declined  from  $72.6 million to $8.8 million.  CAChe Scientific,  Inc

was  sold  in the current quarter completing the disposition  of  non-

strategic   businesses  contemplated by  the  Company's  restructuring

plan.   Therefore, there will be no sales reported as other  sales  in

the fourth and subsequent quarters.

     Measurement Business Division  sales of $516.3 million  increased

9%  from the prior year, with strong growth in communications  and  TV

test  and  electronic  tools and improvement  in  instruments.   Color

Printing  and Imaging Division sales increased 41% to  $308.6  million

reflecting strong growth from new products which are helping  to  fuel

growth  in  the  color printer market.  Video Systems  Division  sales

increased  20%  to  $129.6 million, benefiting from  stronger  markets

worldwide  and  the  introduction of new products.   Network  Displays

Division sales declined by 8% to $62.7 million due to the reduction in

large one-time X terminal sales in the United States and the continued

decline in service revenue from the Company's old terminals business.

                                            9
<PAGE>

      Sales  to  customers in the United States declined  from  $526.1

million  to  $517.1  million,  representing 50% of  total  sales.  The

majority  of  the non-strategic businesses sales were  in  the  United

States, and if these sales are excluded from both years, United States

sales  increased   by  10%  from $464.4  million  to  $510.9  million.

International  sales  of   $508.9  million  were  up   23%,   due   to

improvements   in  all  major  markets.   International   sales   from

continuing  businesses  were  up 26% from  $403.0  million  to  $506.3

million.

      Cost  of sales was essentially flat as a percentage of net sales

at  53.8%.   A better geographic mix of sales,  the reduction  of  low

margin  component  sales  and improved product  mix  in  each  of  the

businesses were offset by the higher cost of components and increasing

use  of  alternative  distribution channels.  While  the  Company  has

experienced  in  the  past  and expects to experience  in  the  future

quarterly fluctuations in its cost of sales as a percentage of  sales,

the Company continues to expect cost of sales as a percentage of sales

to  slowly  trend higher as more products are sold through alternative

distribution channels.

     Research and development expenses (R&D) remained essentially flat

as  a  percent  of sales.  R&D increased by 7% to $119.7  million  due

principally  to  higher  new  product development  funding.   Selling,

general,  and administrative expenses (SG&A) declined as a percent  of

sales  from 27.9% to 26.8%.  SG&A increased by 5% in dollar terms  due

to  higher  selling and distribution expenses associated  with  higher

sales  volumes.   Both  R&D and SG&A were also impacted  by  increased

variable compensation due to the Company's improved performance.

      Equity  in  business  ventures  net  earnings  of  $0.7  million

compared to losses of $2.5 million in the prior year primarily because

of the Company's equity in earnings of Merix Corporation (formerly the

Company's  Circuit Board Division) in 

the current year.   The Circuit Board Division was still a part of the 

                                            10
<PAGE>
Company in 1994.
      
      The  income  tax provision increased because of the increase  in

earnings  before taxes, partly offset by a reduction in the  Company's

effective annual tax rate from 34% in 1994 to 26% in the current year.

The  reduction  in the current year tax rate is due primarily  to  the

capitalization, for tax purposes, of the costs of a major research and

development  project.   The  resulting  taxable  income  enabled   the

realization of additional foreign tax credit carryovers.  The  Company

expects  the  effective annual tax rate to increase next year  and  in

future  years  after  remaining  foreign  tax  credit  carryovers  are

realized.
      
      Net  earnings  were 53% higher than the prior year,  due  to  an

increase  in  sales accompanied by a lesser increase in  R&D and  SG&A

expenses,  and improved business venture results.

million, or $0.70 per share compared with $15.5 million, or $0.51  per

share in the third quarter of fiscal 1994.

     Net Sales were $364.9 million,  up 10% from the prior year. Sales

from  continuing business increased by 17% from $310.0 million in 1994

to  $364.1  million  in  1995.  Other sales, which  include  the  non-

strategic  businesses disposed of at the end of last year  and  during

the first quarter, dropped sharply from $22.8 million to $0.8 million.

European  and  Asian  markets.   Color  Printing  and  Imaging   sales

increased 36% to $110.8 million, continuing the strong growth from new

products which are helping to fuel growth in the color printer market.

Video  Systems  sales grew 33% to $46.7 million as the  Company  began

shipping  a  number  of  new products during  the  quarter,  and  from

generally  improving market conditions.  Network Displays  sales  were

lower  due to the reduction in large one-time X terminal sales in  the

United  States and the continued decline in service revenue  from  the

Company's old terminals business.
      
      Sales to customers in the United States decreased 3% from $177.6

million  to  $172.7  million, representing 47% of  total  sales.   The

majority  of  the non-strategic businesses sales were  in  the  United

States, and if these sales are excluded from both years, United States

sales  increased  by 8%.  International sales of  $192.2 million  were

up  24%  from $155.2 million in the prior year, with strong growth  in

all   geographic   regions.   International  sales   from   continuing

businesses were up 27% from $151.5 million to $192.2 million.
      
      Product  orders for the quarter were $366.6 million, 31%  higher

than  the  prior  year's  third quarter, with  strong  growth  in  all

businesses and in all geographic regions.
      
      Cost  of sales amounted to 55.5% of net sales, compared to 54.4%

in the prior year. The increase was due primarily to increasing use of

alternative   distribution  channels  and  to  the  higher   cost   of

components,  partly  as a result of the strong  Japanese  yen.   These

impacts were  partially offset by a better geographic mix of sales and

the reduction of low margin component sales.

      Research and development expense (R&D) declined as a percent  of

sales  from  11.5%   to  10.4%.  Selling, general  and  administrative

expense  (SG&A)  declined as a percent of sales from 26.9%  to  25.9%.

These  improvements were the result of higher sales and the  Company's

continued  cost controls.  SG&A, in dollar terms, was 6%  higher  than

the  prior year because of higher marketing and distribution  expenses

associated  with higher sales volumes.   Both R&D and SG&A  were  also

impacted  by  increased variable compensation  due  to  the  Company's

improved performance.

      Income taxes decreased from $8.0 million to $7.6 million due  to

the  Company's lower effective annual tax rate of 26% compared to  34%

in the prior year.

     Net earnings of $21.6 million were 39% higher than the prior year

due  primarily  to higher sales and the containment of  R&D  and  SG&A

expenses, partly offset by higher cost of sales.

                             TEKTRONIX, INC.


                                ARTICLE I

                              SHAREHOLDERS

          Section 1.  Annual Meeting.  The annual meeting of
shareholders shall be held on the fourth Thursday of September
each year, at such time as the board of directors shall
designate, for the purpose of electing directors and for the
transaction of such other business as may properly come before
the meeting.  If the day fixed for the annual meeting shall be
a legal holiday in the State of Oregon, the meeting shall be
held on the next succeeding Thursday.  If the election of
directors shall not be held on the day designated for any annual
meeting, the board of directors shall cause the election to be
held at a special meeting of the shareholders as soon thereafter
as conveniently may be.

          Section 2.  Special Meetings.  Special meetings of the
shareholders may be called by the Chairman of the Board or by
the board of directors, and shall be called by the Chairman of
the Board at the request of the holders of not less than one
tenth of all the outstanding shares of the corporation entitled
to vote at the meeting.

          Section 3.  Place of Meetings.  The place of each
annual meeting and any special meeting of the shareholders shall
be determined by the board of directors.

          Section 4.  Notice of Meeting.  Written or printed
notice stating the date, time and place of the shareholders
meeting and, in the case of a special meeting or a meeting for
which special notice is required by law, the purposes for which
the meeting is called, shall be delivered by the corporation to
each shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting and, if
required by law, to any other shareholders entitled to receive
notice, not earlier than sixty days nor less than thirty days
before the meeting date.  If mailed, the notice shall be deemed
delivered when it is mailed to the shareholder with postage
prepaid at the shareholder's address shown in the corporation's
record of shareholders.

          Section 5.  Closing of Transfer Records or Fixing of
Record Date.  The board of directors may fix a future date as
the record date to determine the shareholders entitled to notice
of a shareholders meeting, demand a special meeting, vote, take
any other action or receive payment of any share or cash
dividend or other distribution.  This date shall not be earlier
than seventy days or, in the case of a meeting, later than
thirty-five days before the meeting or action requiring a
determination of shareholders.  The record date for any meeting,
vote or other action of the shareholders shall be the same for
all voting groups.  If not otherwise fixed by the board of
directors, the record date to determine shareholders entitled to
notice of and to vote at an annual or special shareholders
meeting is the close of business on the day before the notice is
first mailed or delivered to shareholders.  If not otherwise
fixed by the board of directors, the record date to determine
shareholders entitled to receive payment of any share or cash
dividend or other distribution is the close of business on the
day the board of directors authorizes the share or cash dividend
or other distribution.  

          Section 6.  Voting Lists.  After a record date for a
meeting is fixed, the corporation shall prepare an alphabetical
list of all shareholders entitled to notice of the shareholders
meeting.  The list shall be arranged by voting group and, within
each voting group, by class or series of shares, and it shall
show the address of and number of shares held by each
shareholder.  The shareholders list shall be available for
inspection by any shareholder, upon proper demand as may be
required by law, beginning two business days after notice of the
meeting is given and continuing through the meeting, at the
corporation's principal office or at a place identified in the
meeting notice in the city where the meeting will be held.  The
corporation shall make the shareholders list available at the
meeting, and any shareholder or the shareholder's agent or
attorney shall be entitled to inspect the list at any time
during the meeting or any adjournment.  Refusal or failure to
prepare or make available the shareholders list does not affect
the validity of action taken at the meeting.  

          Section 7.  Quorum; Adjournment.  

          (a)  Shares entitled to vote as a separate voting
group may take action on a matter at a meeting only if a quorum
of those shares exists with respect to that matter.  A majority
of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter by the voting
group constitutes a quorum of that voting group for action on
that matter.

          (b)  A majority of votes represented at the meeting,
although less than a quorum, may adjourn the meeting from time
to time to a different time and place without further notice to
any shareholder of any adjournment.  At an adjourned meeting at
which a quorum is present, any business may be transacted that
might have been transacted at the meeting originally held.

          (c)  Once a share is represented for any purpose at a
meeting, it shall be present for quorum purposes for the
remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of that meeting
unless a new record date is or must be set for the adjourned
meeting.  A new record date must be set if the meeting is
adjourned to a date more than 120 days after the date fixed for
the original meeting.

           Section 8.  Voting.  If a quorum exists, action on a
matter, other than the election of directors, by a voting group
is approved if the votes cast within the voting group favoring
the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action, unless a
greater number of affirmative votes is required by law or the
Restated Articles of Incorporation.  Unless otherwise provided
in the Restated Articles of Incorporation, directors are elected
by a plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote
in the election at a meeting at which a quorum is present.  

          Section 9.  Proxies.  At all meetings of shareholders,
a shareholder may vote by proxy executed in writing by the
shareholder or by his duly authorized attorney in fact.  Such
proxy shall be filed with the secretary of the corporation
before or at the time of the meeting.  No proxy shall be valid
after eleven months from the date of its execution, unless
otherwise provided in the proxy.

          Section 10.  Voting of Shares by Certain Holders.

          (a)  Shares standing in the name of another
corporation may be voted by such officer, agent or proxy as the
bylaws of such corporation may prescribe, or, in the absence of
such provision, as the board of directors of such other
corporation may determine.

          (b)  Shares held by an administrator, executor,
guardian or conservator may be voted by him, either in person or
by proxy, without a transfer of such shares into his name. 
Shares standing in the name of a trustee may be voted by him,
either in person or by proxy, but no trustee shall be entitled
to vote shares held by him without a transfer of such shares
into his name.

          (c)  Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be
voted by such receiver, and shares held by or under the control
of a receiver may be voted by such receiver without the transfer
thereof into his name if authority so to do be contained in an
appropriate order of the court by which such receiver was
appointed.

          (d)  A shareholder whose shares are pledged shall be
entitled to vote such shares until the shares have been
transferred into the name of the pledgee, and thereafter the
pledgee shall be entitled to vote the shares so transferred.

          (e)  Neither treasury shares nor shares held by the
corporation in a fiduciary capacity, nor shares held by another
corporation if a majority of the shares entitled to vote for the
election of directors of such other corporation is held by the
corporation, shall be voted at any meeting or counted in
determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given
time.

          Section 11.  Proper Business for Shareholders'
Meeting.  To be properly brought before the meeting, business
must be either (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any
supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the board of
directors, (b) otherwise properly brought before a meeting by or
at the direction of the board of directors, or (c) otherwise
properly brought before the meeting by a shareholder.  In
addition to any other applicable requirements, for business to
be properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder,
the shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing
to the Secretary of the corporation.  To be timely, a
shareholder's notice must be delivered to or mailed and received
at the principal executive office of the corporation not less
than 50 days nor more than 75 days prior to the meeting;
provided, however, that in the event that less than 65 days'
notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is
given or made to shareholders, notice by the shareholder to be
timely must be so received not later than the close of business
on the 10th day following the day on which such notice of the
date of the annual meeting was mailed or such public disclosure
was made, whichever first occurs.  A shareholder's notice to the
Secretary shall set forth (a) one or more matters appropriate
for shareholder action that the shareholder proposes to bring
before the meeting, (b) a brief description of the matters
desired to be brought before the meeting and the reasons for
conducting such business at the meeting, (c) the name and record
address of the shareholder, (d) the class and number of shares
of the corporation that the shareholder owns or is entitled to
vote and (e) any material interest of the shareholder in such
matters.  Notwithstanding anything in these bylaws to the
contrary, no business shall be conducted at the annual meeting
except in accordance with the procedure set forth in this
Section 11; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 11
shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any shareholder of any
business properly brought before the annual meeting.  The
Chairman of the Board shall, if the facts warrant, determine and
declare to the meeting that the business was not properly
brought before the meeting in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 11, and if the Chairman of the Board should so
determine, shall so declare to the meeting any such business not
properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

          Section 12.  Shareholder Nomination of Directors.  Not
less than 50 days nor more than 75 days prior to the date of any
annual meeting of shareholders, any shareholder who intends to
make a nomination at the annual meeting shall deliver a notice
to the Secretary of the corporation setting forth (a) as to each
nominee whom the shareholder proposes to nominate for election
or reelection as a director, (i) the name, age, business address
and residence address of the nominee, (ii) the principal
occupation or employment of the nominee, (iii) the class and
number of shares of capital stock of the corporation that are
beneficially owned by the nominee and (iv) any other information
concerning the nominee that would be required, under the rules
of the  Securities and Exchange Commission, in a proxy statement
soliciting proxies for the election of such nominee; and (b) as
to the shareholder giving the notice, (i) the name and record
address of the shareholder and (ii) the class and number of
shares of capital stock of the corporation that are beneficially
owned by the shareholder; provided, however, that in the event
that less than 65 days' notice or prior public disclosure of the
date of the annual meeting is given or made to shareholders,
notice by the shareholder to be timely must be so delivered not
later than the close of business on the 10th day following the
day on which such notice of the date of the meeting was mailed
or such public disclosure was made, whichever first occurs. 
Such notice shall include a signed consent to serve as a
director of the corporation, if elected, of each such nominee. 
The corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such
other information as may reasonably be required by the
corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed
nominee to serve as a director of the corporation.

          Section 13.  Shareholder Nomination of Directors -
Special Meetings.  Any shareholder who intends to make a
nomination at any special meeting of shareholders held for the
purpose of electing directors shall deliver a timely notice to
the Secretary of the corporation setting forth (a) as to each
nominee whom the shareholder proposes to nominate for election
or reelection as a director, (i) the name, age, business address
and residence address of the nominee, (ii) the principal
occupation or employment of the nominee, (iii) the class and
number of shares of capital stock of the corporation that are
beneficially owned by the nominee and (iv) any other information
concerning the nominee that would be required, under the rules
of the Securities and Exchange Commission, in a proxy statement
soliciting proxies for the election of such nominee; and (b) as
to the shareholder giving the notice, (i) the name and record
address of the shareholder and (ii) the class and number of
shares of capital stock of the corporation that are beneficially
owned by the shareholder.  To be timely for these purposes, such
notice must be given (a) if given by the shareholder (or any of
the shareholders) who or that made a demand for a meeting
pursuant to which such meeting is to be held, concurrently with
the delivery of such demand, and (b) otherwise, not later than
the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which
the notice of the special meeting was mailed.  Such notice shall
include a signed consent to serve as a director of the
corporation, if elected, of each such nominee.  The corporation
may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other
information as may reasonably be required by the corporation to
determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as
a director of the corporation.


                               ARTICLE II

                           BOARD OF DIRECTORS

          Section 1.  General Powers.  The business and affairs
of the corporation shall be managed by its board of directors.

          Section 2.  Number, Tenure and Qualifications.  The
directors of the corporation shall be divided into three classes
of directors designated Class I, Class II and Class III.  The
number of directors of the corporation shall be ten, consisting
of three Class I directors, three Class II directors and four
Class III directors.  At the 1986 annual meeting of
shareholders, Class I directors were elected to a term of office
expiring at the 1987 annual meeting of shareholders, Class II
directors were elected to a term of office expiring at the 1988
annual meeting of shareholders, and Class III  directors were
elected to a term of office expiring at the 1989 annual meeting
of shareholders, and in each case until their successors are
elected and qualified.  At each annual meeting of shareholders
following such initial classification and election, directors
elected to succeed those directors whose terms expire shall be
elected to serve three-year terms and until their successors are
elected and qualified, so that the term of one class of
directors will expire each year.  When the number of directors
is changed by amendment of this Section 2, any newly created
directorships, or any decrease in directorships, shall be so
apportioned among the classes so as to make all classes as
nearly equal as possible, provided that no decrease in the
number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall
shorten the term of any incumbent director.  Directors need not
be residents of the State of Oregon or shareholders of the
corporation.

          Section 3.  Annual and Regular Meetings.  The annual
meeting of the board of directors may be held before or after
the annual meeting of shareholders, on the day and at the time
and place designated by the Chairman of the Board. The board of
directors may provide by resolution, the time and place, either
within or without the State of Oregon, for the holding of
regular meetings without notice other than such resolution.

          Section 4.  Special Meetings.  Special meetings of the
board of directors may be called by or at the request of the
Chairman of the Board or any two directors.  The person or
persons authorized to call special meetings of the board of
directors may fix any place, either within or without the State
of Oregon, as the place for holding any special meeting of the
board of directors called by them.

          Section 5.  Notice.  Notice of the date, time and
place of any special meeting of the board of directors shall be
given at least three days prior to the meeting by notice
communicated in person, by telephone, telegraph, teletype, other
form of wire or wireless communication, mail or private carrier. 
If written, notice shall be effective at the earliest of (a)
when received, (b) five days after its deposit in the United
States mail, as evidenced by the postmark, if mailed postpaid
and correctly addressed, or (c) on the date shown on the return
receipt, if sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested and the receipt is signed by or on behalf of the
addressee.  Notice by all other means shall be deemed effective
when received by or on behalf of the director.  Notice of any
regular or special meeting need not describe the purposes of the
meeting unless required by law or the Restated Articles of
Incorporation.

          Section 6.  Quorum.  A majority of the number of
directors fixed by Section 2 of this Article II shall constitute
a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the
board of directors, but if less than such majority is present at
a meeting, a majority of the directors present may adjourn the
meeting from time to time without further notice.

          Section 7.  Manner of Acting.  The act of the majority
of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is
present shall be the act of the board of directors, unless a
greater number is required by law or these bylaws.

          Section 8.  Vacancies.  Any vacancy on the board of
directors, including a vacancy resulting from an increase in the
number of directors, may be filled by the shareholders, the
board of directors, the remaining directors if less than a
quorum (by the vote of a majority thereof) or by a sole
remaining director.  Any vacancy not filled by the directors
shall be filled by election at an annual meeting or at a special
meeting of shareholders called for that purpose.  A vacancy that
will occur at a specified later date, by reason of a resignation
or otherwise, may be filled before the vacancy occurs, but the
new director may not take office until the vacancy occurs.  

          Section 9.  Compensation.  By resolution of the board
of directors, the directors may be paid their expenses, if any,
of attendance at each meeting of the board of directors, and may
be paid a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the board
of directors or a stated salary as director.  No such payment
shall preclude any director from serving the corporation in any
other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

          Section 10.  Presumption of Assent.  A director of the
corporation who is present at a meeting of the board of
directors at which action on any corporate matter is taken shall
be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless his
dissent shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless
he shall file his written dissent to such action with the person
acting as the secretary of the meeting before the adjournment
thereof or shall forward such dissent by registered mail to the
secretary of the corporation immediately after the adjournment
of the meeting.  Such right  to  dissent  shall  not apply to a
director who voted in favor of such action.  It shall be the
duty of the person acting as secretary of the meeting to record
in the minutes any negative votes, abstentions or dissents if
requested to do so by the director so voting, abstaining or
dissenting.

          Section 11.  Informal Action by Directors.  Any action
required to be taken at a meeting of directors, or any action
which may be taken at a meeting of directors, may  be  taken 
without  a  meeting  if  a consent in writing setting forth the
action so taken shall be signed by all the directors entitled to
vote with respect to the subject matter thereof.  Such consent
shall have the same effect as a unanimous vote of the directors.

          Section 12.  Removal.  The shareholders may remove one
or more directors with or without cause at a meeting called
expressly for that purpose, unless the Restated Articles of
Incorporation provide for removal for cause only.  

          Section 13.  Transactions with Directors.  Any
contract or other transaction between the corporation and one or
more of its directors, or between the corporation and another
party in which one or more of its directors are interested shall
be valid notwithstanding the presence or participation of such
director or directors in a meeting of the board of directors
which acts upon or in reference to such contract or transaction,
if the fact of such interest shall be disclosed or known to the
board of directors and it shall authorize and approve such
contract or transaction by a vote of a majority of the directors
present.  Such interested director or directors may be counted
in determining whether a quorum is present at any such meeting,
but shall not be counted in calculating the majority necessary
to carry such vote.  This section shall not invalidate any
contract or other transaction which would otherwise be valid
under applicable law.

          Section 14.  Meeting by Telephone Conference Call.  A
meeting of the board of directors may be held by means of
conference telephone or similar communications equipment through
which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each
other.  Participation in a meeting pursuant to this section
shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.  Notice
(including waiver of notice) and quorum requirements as
specified in Sections 5 and 6 of this Article shall apply to
meetings pursuant to this section.  A record shall be kept of
the action taken for insertion into the minute book.


                               ARTICLE III

                               COMMITTEES

          Section 1.  Designation.  The board of directors, by
resolution adopted by a majority of the number of directors
fixed by Section 2 of Article II of these bylaws, may designate
from among its members an executive committee and one or more
other committees.  The designation of a committee, and the
delegation of authority to it, shall not operate to relieve the
board of directors, or any member thereof, of any responsibility
imposed upon it or him by law.  No member of any committee shall
continue to be a member thereof after he ceases to be a director
of the corporation.  The board of directors shall have the power
at any time, by resolution adopted by a majority of the number
of directors fixed by Section 2 of Article II of these bylaws,
to increase or decrease the number of members of any committee,
to fill vacancies thereon, to change any member thereof, and to
change the functions or terminate the existence thereof.

          Section 2.  Powers.  During the interval between
meetings of the board of directors, and subject to such
limitations as may be imposed by resolution of the board of
directors, the executive committee shall have and may exercise
all the authority of the board of directors in the management of
the corporation.  Any other committee shall have such authority
of the board of directors as the board shall delegate by
resolution adopted by a majority of the number of directors
fixed by Section 2 of Article II of these bylaws. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the executive committee
nor any other committee shall have the authority of the board of
directors in reference to amending the articles of
incorporation; adopting a plan of merger or consolidation;
recommending to the shareholders the sale, lease, exchange,
mortgage, pledge or other disposition of all or substantially
all the property and assets of the corporation otherwise than in
the usual and regular course of its business; recommending  to 
the  shareholders  a  voluntary  dissolution  of  the
corporation or revocation thereof; or amending the bylaws of the
corporation.    Reports  on   actions 
taken by a committee shall be submitted to the next succeeding
meeting of the board of directors.   

          Section 3.  Procedure; Meetings; Quorum.  Each
committee shall appoint a chairman from among its members and a
secretary who may, but need not, be a member of the committee or
of the board of directors.  The chairman shall preside at all
committee meetings and the secretary shall keep a record of its
proceedings.  Regular meetings of a committee, of which no
notice shall be necessary, shall be held on such days and at
such places as shall be fixed by resolution adopted by a
majority of the committee.  Special meetings of a committee
shall be called at the request of any member of the committee,
and shall be held upon notice by letter or telegram mailed or
delivered for transmission not later than during the second day
preceding the day of the meeting, or by word of mouth or
telephone received not later than the day immediately preceding
the day of the meeting.  Any notice required by this section may

     C.   The indemnification provided hereby shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified
may be entitled under the Restated Articles of Incorporation,

and administrators of such person.

     D.   The corporation shall have power to purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a

fiduciary of an employee benefit plan, of another corporation,

     E.   Any person other than a director or officer who is or
was an employee or agent of the corporation, or fiduciary within

the corporation to be the owner thereof for all purposes.
