              INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 3.   Incorporation of Documents By Reference

     The following documents are incorporated in this registration
statement by reference:

     (a)   The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1993.

     (b)   The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended March 31, 1994.

     (c)   The Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K dated February 24,
1994.

     (d)   The description of the Registrant's shares of common stock,
including the Rights related to the shares as set forth in the Rights
Agreement relating to such Rights, contained in the Registrant's
registration statement filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
file no. 1-7823, including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of
updating such description.

All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant or the Plan pursuant to
Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which
indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters
all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by
reference herein and to be a part hereof from the date of the filing of
such documents.

Item 4.   Description of Securities

     The Registrant's common stock is registered under Section 12 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Item 5.   Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

     Price Waterhouse, the Registrant's independent accountants, have no
interest in the Registrant.

     Thomas D. Larson, Esq., Associate General Counsel of the Registrant,
has passed upon the legality of the shares offered under this registration
statement.  Jacquelyn G. Johnson, Esq., Senior Associate General Counsel of
the Registrant, has passed upon the compliance of the Plan with the
requirements of ERISA.

Item 6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers

     The Delaware General Corporation Law permits the indemnification by a
Delaware corporation of its directors, officers, employees and other agents
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement in connection with specified actions, suits or
proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative

                               II-1
<PAGE>
(other than derivative actions which are by or in the right of the
corporation) if they acted in good faith in a manner they reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation,
and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable
cause to believe their conduct was illegal.  A similar standard of care is
applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification
only extends to expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection
with defense or settlement of such an action or requires court approval
before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking
indemnification has been found liable to the corporation.

     The Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that
each person who was or is made a party to, or is involved in, any action,
suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a
director or officer of the Registrant (or was serving at the request of the
Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent for another entity)
while serving in such capacity will be indemnified and held harmless by the
Registrant to the full extent authorized or permitted by Delaware law.  The
Restated Certificate also provides that the Registrant may purchase and
maintain insurance, may also create a trust fund, grant a security interest
and/or use other means (including establishing letters of credit, surety
bonds and other similar arrangements), and may enter into contracts
providing for indemnification, to ensure full payment of indemnifiable
amounts.

     The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its
directors and its executive officers.

Item 9.   Undertakings

     (a)   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

           (1)   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
     being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
     statement:

                 (i)  To include any prospectus required by
           section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

                (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
           events arising after the effective date of the
           registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
           amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
           aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
           information set forth in the registration statement;

               (iii)  To include any material information
           with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
           disclosed in the registration statement or any material
           change to such information in the registration statement;

     Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not
     apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and
     the information required to be included in a post-effective
     amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports
     filed by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of
     the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by
     reference in the registration statement.

          (2)   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
     the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment
     shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
     securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
     that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
     thereof.

          (3)   To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
     amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
     unsold at the termination of the offering.

     (b)   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes
of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing
of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each
filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by
reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.

                                    II-3
<PAGE>
     (c)   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense
of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

     (a)   The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended

     (b)   The Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter

     (d)   The description of the Registrant's shares of common stock,
including the Rights related to the shares as set forth in the Rights
Agreement relating to such Rights, contained in the Registrant's
registration statement filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
file no. 1-7823, including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of
updating such description.

All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant or the Plan pursuant to
Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which
indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters
all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by
reference herein and to be a part hereof from the date of the filing of
such documents.

Item 4.   Description of Securities

     The Registrant's common stock is registered under Section 12 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Item 5.   Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

     Price Waterhouse, the Registrant's independent accountants, have no
interest in the Registrant.

     Thomas D. Larson, Esq., Associate General Counsel of the Registrant,
has passed upon the legality of the shares offered under this registration
statement.  Jacquelyn G. Johnson, Esq., Senior Associate General Counsel of
the Registrant, has passed upon the compliance of the Plan with the
requirements of ERISA.

Item 6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers

     The Delaware General Corporation Law permits the indemnification by a
Delaware corporation of its directors, officers, employees and other agents
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement in connection with specified actions, suits or
proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative

                               II-1
(other than derivative actions which are by or in the right of the
corporation) if they acted in good faith in a manner they reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation,
and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable
cause to believe their conduct was illegal.  A similar standard of care is
applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification
only extends to expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection
with defense or settlement of such an action or requires court approval
before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking
indemnification has been found liable to the corporation.

     The Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that
each person who was or is made a party to, or is involved in, any action,
suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a
director or officer of the Registrant (or was serving at the request of the
Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent for another entity)
while serving in such capacity will be indemnified and held harmless by the
Registrant to the full extent authorized or permitted by Delaware law.  The
Restated Certificate also provides that the Registrant may purchase and
maintain insurance, may also create a trust fund, grant a security interest
and/or use other means (including establishing letters of credit, surety
bonds and other similar arrangements), and may enter into contracts
providing for indemnification, to ensure full payment of indemnifiable
amounts.

     The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its
directors and its executive officers.

Item 9.   Undertakings

     (a)   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

           (1)   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
     being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
     statement:

                 (i)  To include any prospectus required by
           section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

                (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
           events arising after the effective date of the
           registration statement (or the most recent post-effective
           amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
           aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
           information set forth in the registration statement;

               (iii)  To include any material information
           with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
           disclosed in the registration statement or any material
           change to such information in the registration statement;

     Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not
     apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and
     the information required to be included in a post-effective
     amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports
     filed by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of
     the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by
     reference in the registration statement.

          (2)   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
     the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment
     shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
     securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
     that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
     thereof.

          (3)   To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
     amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
     unsold at the termination of the offering.

     (b)   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes
of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing
of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each
filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by
reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.

                                    II-3
(c)   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense
of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

                                    II-4
