Re:	Registration Statement
	on Form S-8

Gentlemen:

	We have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be filed by 
you with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about June 28, 1994 (the 
"Registration Statement"), in connection with the registration under the 
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of an additional 1,784,152 shares of your 
Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 1993 Long-Term Incentive Plan 
(the "Plan").  As your legal counsel, we have examined the proceedings taken 
and are familiar with the proceedings proposed to be taken by you in 
connection with the sale and issuance of such Common Stock under the Plan.

	It is our opinion that, when issued and sold in the manner referred to 
in the Plan and pursuant to the agreements which accompany the Plan, the 
Common Stock issued and sold thereby will be legally and validly issued, fully 
paid and non-assessable.

	We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration 
Statement and further consent to the use of our name wherever appearing in the 
Registration Statement, including any Prospectus constituting a part thereof, 
and any amendments thereto.

						Very truly yours,
