     On September 18, 1996, Committees previously appointed by
the Board of Directors of the Registrant approved the public

Subordinated Notes, due 2006 (the "7-1/2% Subordinated Notes"),
and (iii) $450,000,000 of the Registrant's 7.80% Subordinated
Notes, due 2016 (the "7.80% Subordinated Notes", and together
with the 7-1/2% Subordinated Notes and the 7% Senior Notes, the
"Notes") to various underwriters (the "Underwriters") and
otherwise established the terms and conditions of the Notes and
the sale thereof.  The resolutions of such Committees are
included as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3 hereto.

     On September 18, 1996, the Registrant entered into separate 
underwriting agreements with the various Underwriters (the
"Underwriting Agreements") for each series of the Notes.  The
terms of the offering and the Notes are described in the
Registrant's Prospectus dated July 12, 1996 constituting a part
of the Registration Statements (hereinafter described), as
supplemented by a Preliminary Prospectus Supplement dated
September 13, 1996 with respect to all of the Notes and final
Prospectus Supplements dated September 18, 1996 for each separate
series of Notes.  The Underwriting Agreements are included as
Exhibits 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 hereto.

     The 7-1/2% Subordinated Notes were issued pursuant to the
Registrant's Registration Statement on Form S-3, Registration No.
33-63097, as amended ("Registration No 33-63097"), on a delayed

amended (the "1933 Act"). Registration No 33-63097 registered up
to $3,000,000,000 aggregate initial offering price of the
Registrant's unsecured debt securities (either senior or
subordinated) and shares of its preferred stock, including
depositary shares, and common stock (collectively, "Securities"). 
After the closing of the sale of the 7-1/2% Subordinated Notes,
expected to occur on September 24, 1996, Securities having an
aggregate initial offering price of $399,050,000 will remain
unsold under Registration No. 33-63097.

     Each of the 7% Senior Notes and the 7.80% Subordinated Notes
