On July 7, 1994,  Volt Information Sciences, Inc. entered into a  
long-term joint venture agreement to publish the official White   
Pages, Yellow Pages and Street Guides for Rio de Janeiro (Rio).   
The Company acquired a 50 percent interest in Telelistas Editora  
Ltda., a Brazilian  company which recently obtained a contract to

production and sales and marketing.
