Item 3       THE PERSON FILING IS A:

             For Bankers Trust New York Corporation,

      (g)    [X] Parent Holding Company, in accordance with
                 Section 240.13d-1(b)(ii)(G)

             For Bankers Trust Company, and Bankers Trust
             International PLC

      (b)    [X] Bank as defined in section 3(a)(6) of the Act.

Item 4       OWNERSHIP:

      (a)    Amount Beneficially Owned:

             (i)   As of December 31, 1994, Bankers Trust Company,
             as Trustee for various trusts, and employee benefit
             plans, and investment advisor (the "Bank"), was the
             beneficial owner of 1,368,124 shares of common stock. 
             Bankers Trust International PLC ("BTI"), was also the
             beneficial owner of 1,100 shares of common stock.
             
             (ii)  It was also the record owner of 15,345,267
             shares held by the Bank as Trustee of the Textron
             Savings Plan and the Paul Revere Savings Plan (the
             "Plan") with respect to which the bank disclaims
             beneficial ownership.
                   The Plan states that each Plan participant shall
             have the right to direct the manner in which shares of
             common stock shall be voted at all stockholders'
             meetings.  The Department of Labor has expressed the
             view that, under certain circumstances, ERISA may
             require the Trustee to vote shares which are not
             allocated to participants' accounts and unvoted
             shares.  Since, in the view of the Bank, BTI  and
             Bankers Trust New York Corporation, such voting power
             is merely a residual power based upon the occurrence
             of an unlikely contingency and is not a sole or shared
             power to vote the securities, the Bank, BTI  and
             Bankers Trust New York Corporation hereby disclaim
             beneficial ownership of such securities.

             The common stock described in Item 4(a) above as to
             which the Bank and BTI acknowledges beneficial
             ownership constitutes 1.6% of the Issuer's outstanding
             Common Stock.  The Common Stock as to which the Bank

             17.4% of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock.

                     (i)  sole power to vote or to direct the

             [X]

Item 6       OWNERSHIP OF MORE THAN FIVE PERCENT ON BEHALF OF    
             ANOTHER PERSON:

             The Issuer's Investment Plans, and various trusts, and
             employee benefit plan for which the Bank serves as
             Trustee, and accounts for which the Bank serves as
             investment advisor and BTI, have the right to receive
             and/or the power to direct the receipt of dividends
             from, or the proceeds from the sale of, such
             securities.

             PARENT HOLDING COMPANY:
