ACQUISITIONS

      In  the  first  quarter  of fiscal 1996, the  Company  completed  its
acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Lightworks Editing  Systems
Limited and Lightworks Editing System, Inc. (Lightworks), which designs and
develops  non-linear  editing systems.  The Company  has  issued  1,644,000
common  shares to complete the acquisition.  The acquisition was  accounted
for  as  a  pooling  of  interests and the financial statements  have  been
restated  to  include the results and financial position of Lightworks  for
all prior periods.

      The  restatement  did  not have a material effect  on  the  Company's
previously  reported  1995 results or financial  position  except  for  the
impact  on  earnings per share from the issuance of the shares to  complete
the acquisition.  The restatement reduced the Company's previously reported
earnings  per  share  for  fiscal year 1995 by $0.13  per  share  primarily
because  of  the issuance of additional shares to complete the acquisition.
The  impact  of  the restatement on earnings per share in each  quarter  of
fiscal  1995 was as follows:  an increase of $0.02 in the first quarter;  a
decrease  of $0.02 in the second quarter; a decrease of $0.05 in the  third
quarter; and a decrease of $0.08 in the fourth quarter.



SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM DEBT

      In the first quarter of fiscal 1996, the Company issued $50.0 million
of 7.625% Notes due August 15, 2002.

      The  provision  for income taxes was calculated at  estimated  annual

effective  rates  of  30%  and 26%, respectively, for  the  quarters  ended

February 24, 1996 and February 25, 1995.


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  24, 1996), the Company  maintained  bank  credit

facilities  totaling  $294.8 million, of which $203.3 million  was  unused.

The  unused facilities include $121.5 million in lines of credit and  $81.8

million  under a revolving credit agreement from United States and  foreign

banks.


     Current assets increased by $25.5 million from the year end balance at

May  27,  1995,  due to higher accounts receivable and inventories,  partly

offset  by   a  decline in other current assets.  Accounts receivable  were

higher due to short-term inefficiencies caused by the installation of a new

accounts receivable system.   Increased  inventories were due  primarily to

higher order rates, a shortage  of certain  components constraining comple-

tion of product manufacturing, a buildup of some components caused by

longer lead 

                                     6

<PAGE>
times and changes  in the mix of product orders.   Other current assets

declined primarily because of the collection of a note receivable  from

the  sale of  a building,  and  the reduction of short-term deferred tax

assets.


      Net  property, plant and equipment increased by $40.3 million as  the

Company  continued  to invest in facilities consolidation  and  information

systems.   Other long-term assets increased by $19.2 million primarily  due

to  the  increase  to market value of the Company's investment  in  Radisys

Corporation which completed an initial public offering in October, 1995.


      Current  liabilities declined by $48.6 million.  Accrued compensation

declined  $35.0  million  due  to  the payment  of  year-end  accruals  for

incentives  and commissions, and the payment of employee severance  charged

against restructuring reserves.


      Long-term debt  increased as a  result of the  Company's issuance, in 

the first quarter, of $50 million in notes due August 15, 2002.


      Shareholders'  equity  increased by $54.1 million  due  primarily  to

earnings  net of dividends and an increase in holding gains on  investments

in  marketable securities available for sale, partly offset by  a  negative

currency adjustment due to a strengthening U.S. dollar against the Japanese

Yen  and   certain  major  European currencies.   The  Company  repurchased

approximately  300,000  of  its  common shares  in  the  quarter,  but  the

resultant reduction in shareholders' equity was substantially offset by the

proceeds  from  the  exercise of stock options in the  first  half  of  the

current year.

      In  the  first  nine months of fiscal 1996, net earnings  were  $71.4

million, or $2.14 per share compared with $57.3 million, or $1.77 per share

in the first nine months of fiscal 1995.


      Net  sales were $1,278.1 million, an increase of 21% from  the  prior

year's  total  of  $1,055.2  million.  Product orders  increased  18%  from

$1,022.8 million to $1,202.6 million.  The Company experienced strong sales

and order growth in all three businesses and in all geographic regions.


      Measurement  Business Division sales of $591.5 million increased  13%

from the prior year, with strong growth in instruments, handheld electronic

tools  and  communications test products.  Product  orders  increased  from

$494.8 million to $556.0 million, or 12%.

       
      Color  Printing and  Imaging Division sales  increased 27% to  $392.4

million  reflecting continued heavy demand for the current  printer  lines,

especially the Phaser 340* solid ink printer.  Product orders increased 22%

from $302.0 million to $367.0 million.*(Phaser is a registered trademark of

Tektronix, Inc.).

                 
      Video  and Networking Division experienced a 24% increase in  product

orders  over  the prior year, from $226.0 million to $279.6 million.  Sales

increased  37% to $294.1 million, led by strong sales of the Profile* video

disk  recorder,  Grass Valley  TV  production  equipment  and  Netstations. 

*(Profile is a trademark of Tektronix, Inc.).

      
      Sales  to  customers in the United States increased 20%  from  $530.5

million   to   $635.0  million,   and  represented  50%  of  total   sales.

International sales of  $643.1 million

were  up 25%, with growth in all regions and particular strength in Europe.

Product  orders from customers in the United States of $579.2 million  were

up  18% from last year while international product orders of $623.4 million

were up 17%.

      
      Cost  of  sales increased as a percentage of net sales from 53.9%  to

58.2%   as  the  Company  continued  to increase  the  use  of  alternative

distribution   channels,  experienced  the  impact  of  increased   systems

integration  sales  from Video and Networking and experienced  declines  in

Color Printing and Imaging margins in the first half of the current year as

a  result  of  changes in product mix and the short-term  impact  of  early

shipments of the Phaser 340 color printer.

      
      Research  and  development  and selling, general  and  administrative

expenses  declined as a percentage of sales, from 11.6% to  9.3%  and  from

26.9% to 24.7%, respectively, due primarily to the higher sales volume  and

continued   effective   cost  controls,  particularly   in   administrative

functions.

      
      Operating  income as a percentage of sales increased year over  year,

rising  from  7.7%  in  the first nine months of 1995  to  8.0%  as   lower

operating  expenses  as  a percentage of sales more than  offset  declining

gross margins.

      
      Other  expense  declined due primarily to higher gains  on  sales  of

stock in other companies, partly offset by higher interest expense.

      
      The  provision for income taxes increased from $19.7 million to $30.6

million  due  to  increased earnings before taxes and  a  higher  estimated

effective  annual tax rate of 30% for the current year, compared  to  25.5%

for  the first nine months of last year.  The Company expects the effective

tax rate to be slightly higher in 1997.


      Net earnings were 25% higher than the prior year, due to higher sales

and higher operating income, partly offset by higher taxes.

      In the third quarter of fiscal 1996, net earnings were $22.4 million,

or  $0.67 per share compared with $21.4 million, or $0.65 per share in  the

third quarter of fiscal 1995.

      
      Net  sales  were $433.5 million,  up 17% from $371.7 million  in  the

prior  year.   Product  orders  increased from  $372.9  million  to  $389.5

million,  a  4% improvement.  The Company experienced sales growth  in  all

three  businesses and in all geographic regions, but international  product

orders  were  flat  compared to last year, when a large system  integration

order from TV4 in Sweden was booked.

      
      Measurement Business sales of $206.0 million were up 11% from  $185.7

million  in  the prior year due to acceptance of new products, particularly

in instruments, handheld electronic tools and communications test products.

The  sales  increased despite constraints resulting from  continuing  parts

shortages  during  the  current quarter.  Product  orders  for  Measurement

increased from $170.8 million to $172.8 million.  The reduced order  growth

rate  was  due  to a number of factors.   A large seasonal order  from  the

Company's  joint  venture Sony/Tektronix, which was  placed  in  the  third

quarter  last year, was received in the second quarter in 1996.  Long  lead

times  associated with parts shortages on key products also contributed  to

lower  order  rates,  as  well as the impacts of customers  taking  a  more

cautionary approach to capital expenditures.  The Company expects order and

revenue  growth  to  be in the 5% to 10% range for the coming  quarters  in

light  of  slower economic growth in major markets and the more  cautionary

approach to spending being shown by customers.


      Color Printing and Imaging sales increased 18% from $110.9 million to

$131.0 million, with strong sales of the Phaser 340 solid ink color printer

and the Phaser 550

                                     

                                    10

color  laser printer.  Product orders increased by 11% over the prior year,

improving  from $111.9 million to $124.7 million.  The Company's  focus  on

the  office  market  segment has resulted in significant  sales  and  order

growth in that segment.  However, this focus and increasing competition  in

the specialty/graphic arts area has caused decreases in orders and sales in

the  specialty segment. The growth rate in product orders for printers  was

negatively  impacted  by the fact that third quarter  1995  included  heavy

first  time  orders  for the Company's initial color  laser  product.   The

Company  expects the fourth quarter to be impacted in a similar manner,  as

it  compares  against last year's fourth quarter, which included  the  very

successful  launch of the Company's first solid ink color printer  for  the

office.   Sales and order growth is expected to be in the 10% to 15%  range

in  the  fourth quarter and to improve to approximately 20% in fiscal  year

1997.


      Video and Networking product orders were $92.0 million, a 2% increase

over  the  $90.2  million reported for the prior year when a  large  system

integration  order from TV4 in Sweden was booked.  Discounting this  order,

product  orders for the third quarter of 1996 would have shown a 28 percent

increase over 1995.  Sales for the division grew 30% from $74.3 million  to

$96.5  million, led by strong sales of the Profile video disk recorder  and

Netstation products.  The Company expects excellent growth for its  Profile

and  Lightworks  products in 1997, but does not believe it can  repeat  the

same  level of growth that it has enjoyed to date in the remainder  of  its

Video and Networking business.  Sales and order growth is expected to be in

the 15% to 20% range for fiscal 1997.


      Sales  to customers in the United States increased by 17% from $173.6

million  to $203.9 million, representing 47% of total sales.  International

sales of  $229.6 million were up 16% from $197.3 million in the prior year.

U.S.   orders  increased  10%  from  $169.4  million  to  $185.7   million.

International orders, at $203.8 million, were level with the  prior  year's

exceptionally high rate.  Without the large system integration  order  from

TV4  in  1995, discussed  above, international orders would have  increased

10% in the current quarter.

                                    11
<PAGE>
      Cost  of  sales increased as a percentage of net sales from 55.4%  to

58.7%  primarily due to reduced gross margins in its Video  and  Networking

business resulting from the impacts of increased system integration  sales,

lower  margins  on large volume Netstation sales and costs associated  with

reducing  its  product offerings.  The continued increase in the  Company's

percentage of sales through alternative distribution channels also impacted

its gross margins.

      
      Research  and  development  and selling, general  and  administrative

expenses  declined as a percentage of sales, from 10.4% to  9.2%  and  from

26.1% to 25.1%, respectively, due primarily to the higher sales volume.


      Operating income as a percentage of sales declined from 8.0%  in  the

third  quarter  of 1995 to 7.3% this year due to decreasing  gross  margins

partly offset by lower operating expenses as a percentage of sales.   Video

and  Networking  operated  at  a loss in the quarter  due  to  lower  gross

margins,  increased  investments to strengthen  its  distribution  channels

throughout the world and investments in new product development.

      
      Other income of $0.6 million in the current quarter compared to other

expense of $1.0 million in the 1995 quarter was due to non-recurring income

this year versus non-recurring expenses last year.

      
      Income  taxes  increased  from  $7.6 million to  $9.6 million  due to 
      
higher earnings before taxes in the current quarter and a higher  estimated  

effective annual tax rate of 30%  for the current year compared to 26% last 

year.


      Net earnings of $22.4 million were 5% higher than the prior year  due

to  higher  sales, higher operating income and higher other income,  partly

offset by  higher taxes.


      The  Company  expects overall sales growth of approximately  17%  for

fiscal year 1996 and 15% for 1997.  Earnings per share are expected  to  be

approximately $3.00 for 1996

                                    12

<PAGE>
compared to $2.50 in 1995.  Earnings per share in  fiscal year 1997 are ex-

pected to be in the range of $3.30 to $3.60 with a higher tax rate.

  
      Information included in this Report on Form 10-Q relating to  orders,

sales and earnings expectations constitutes forward-looking statements that

involve  a  number  of  risks  and  uncertainties.   From  time  to   time,

information provided by the Company or statements made by its employees may

contain other forward-looking statements.  Factors that could cause  actual

results  to  differ materially from the forward-looking statements  include

but  are  not  limited  to:  general economic conditions,  including  their

impact  on  capital expenditures;  business conditions in  the  electronics

industry;   competitive factors, including pricing pressures, technological

developments and products offered by competitors;  changes in  product  and

sales mix, including an increase in indirect and systems sales;  the timely

flow  of  competitive new products by the Company and market acceptance  of

those  products;  the availability of parts and supplies from  third  party

suppliers  on  a  timely  basis  and at  reasonable  prices, including  the

timely availability  of integrated  circuits for  the Company's Measurement

business;  the  Company's efforts  to  integrate  and restructure its Video

and Networking  business; inventory  risks due  to changes in market demand

or  the Company's  business strategies;   changes in  effective  tax rates;

currency  fluctuations;   and the  fact  that a substantial portion  of the

Company's  sales are  generated from  orders  received during  the quarter,

making prediction  of  quarterly revenues and earnings difficult.

                                 ARTICLE I

                               SHAREHOLDERS

          Section 1.  Annual Meeting.  The annual meeting of
shareholders shall be held on the date and at the time each year as
shall be fixed by the board of directors and stated in the notice
of meeting, for the purpose of electing directors and for the
transaction of such other business as may properly come before the
meeting.

          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 eleven, consisting of four
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 be waived in writing signed by the member or members
entitled to the notice, whether before, or after the meeting time
stated therein.  Attendance of any member of a committee at a
special meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such
meeting.  A majority of the committee, from time to time, shall be
necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business,
and the act of a majority of the members present at a meeting at
which a quorum is present shall be the act of the committee.  The
board of directors may vote to the members of any committee a
reasonable fee as compensation for attendance at meetings of such
committee.

          Section 4.  Meeting by Telephone Conference Call.  A
meeting of a committee may be held by means of conference telephone
or similar telephone communications equipment through which all
persons participating in the meeting can hear each other. 
Participation in the meeting pursuant to this section shall
constitute presence in person at the meeting.  Notice (including
waiver of notice) and quorum requirements as specified in Section
3 of this Article shall apply to meetings pursuant to this section. 
A record shall be kept of action taken for insertion into the
minute book.

          Section 5.  Informal Action by Committee.  Any action
which may be taken at a meeting of a committee may be taken without
a meeting if a consent in writing setting forth the actions so
taken shall be signed by all members of the committee entitled to
vote with respect to the subject matter thereof.  The action shall
be effective on the date when the last signature is placed on the
consent or at such earlier time as is set forth therein.  The
consent shall have the same effect as a unanimous vote of the
committee.


                                ARTICLE IV

hereinafter provided.

          Section 3.  Removal.  Any  officer  or  agent  elected
or  appointed  by  the board  of  directors may be removed by the
board of directors at any time with or  without cause.  Election or
appointment of an officer or agent shall not of itself create
contract rights.  

          Section 4.  Vacancies.  A vacancy in any office because
of death, resignation, removal, disqualification or otherwise, may
be filled by the board of directors for the unexpired portion of
the term.

          Section 5.  Chairman of the Board.  The Chairman of the
Board of Directors shall be the chief executive officer of the
corporation and, subject to the control of the board of directors,
shall in general supervise and control all of the business and
affairs of the corporation.  The Chairman of the Board may execute
in behalf of the corporation all contracts, agreements, stock
certificates and other instruments.  The Chairman of the Board

matters within the Chairman's knowledge affecting the corporation
which should be brought to the attention of the board.  The

pertaining  to  the  corporate business.  The Secretary shall
countersign all stock certificates and other instruments requiring
the seal of the corporation and shall perform such other duties as
may be prescribed from time to time by the board of directors.

          Section 8.  Salaries.  The salaries of the officers shall
be fixed from time to time by the board of directors and no officer
shall be prevented from receiving such salary because the officer
is also a director of the corporation.


                               ARTICLE IV-A

                          NON-CORPORATE OFFICERS

persons to hold positions and titles such as vice president,

board of directors may determine.  Each such appointee shall have

authority and perform such duties as the Chairman of the Board of
the corporation shall determine; provided that no such appointee
shall have executive powers, be in charge of a principal business
unit, division or function or perform similar policy making
functions.  The board of directors shall be advised of any such
appointment at a meeting of the board of directors, and the
appointment shall be noted in the minutes of the meeting.  The
minutes shall state that such persons are non-corporate officers
appointed pursuant to this Article IV-A of these bylaws.

     B.  Any such appointee, absent specific election by the board
of directors as an elected corporate officer (i) shall not be

'officer' of the corporation for the purposes of Rule 3b-2
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively,

IV-A may be removed at any time by the Chairman of the Board or by

then permitted by law any person who is made, or threatened to be
made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit

by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that
the person is or was a director or officer of the corporation or is

fees), judgments, amounts paid in settlement and fines actually and

proceeding may be paid or reimbursed by the corporation in advance

officer to repay such amounts if it shall ultimately be determined
that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the
corporation.

     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, any statute,
agreement, or vote of shareholders or directors or otherwise, both
as to action in any official capacity and as to action in another
capacity while holding an office, and shall continue as to a person
who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the
benefit of the heirs, executors 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 director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or fiduciary with

officer, employee or agent, or as a fiduciary of an employee
benefit plan, of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against
and incurred by the person in any such capacity, or arising out of

of  attorney  duly  executed and filed with the secretary of the

thereof for all purposes.

          Section 3.  Transfer Agent and Registrar.  The board of
directors may from time to time appoint one or more transfer agents
and one or more registrars for the shares of the corporation, with
