                           ATTACHMENT TO PRICING
                          SUPPLEMENT NO. 3 DATED
                             JANUARY 18, 1996


           The Notes will be redeemable as a whole or in part, at the
option of the Company at any time, at a redemption price equal to
the greater of (i) 100% of their principal amount and (ii) the
sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of
principal thereof and interest thereon discounted from their
respective scheduled due dates to the date of redemption on a
semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve
30-day months) at the Treasury Yield plus 10 basis points, plus
in each case accrued interest to the date of redemption.

           "Treasury Yield" means, with respect to any redemption
date, the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent
yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a
price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a
percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable
Treasury Price for such redemption date.

           "Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States
Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as
having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes
that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in
accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new
issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the
remaining term of the Notes.  "Independent Investment Banker"
means Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated or, if such firm is
unwilling or unable to select the Comparable Treasury Issue, an
independent investment banking institution of national standing
appointed by Chemical Bank, as trustee (the "Trustee").

           "Comparable Treasury Price" means, with respect to any
redemption date, (i) the average of the bid and asked prices for
the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a
percentage of its principal amount) on the third business day
preceding such redemption date, as set forth in the daily
statistical release (or any successor release) published by the
Federal Reserve Bank of New York and designated "Composite 3:30
p.m. Quotations for U.S. Government Securities" or (ii) if such
release (or any successor release) is not published or does not
contain such prices on such business day, (A) the average of the
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date,
after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury
Dealer Quotations, or (B) if the Trustee obtains fewer than four
such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations the average of all such
Quotations.  "Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations" means, with
respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption
date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and
asked prices of the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each
case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing
to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. on
the third business day preceding such redemption date.

           "Reference Treasury Dealer" means each of Morgan Stanley &
Co. Incorporated, Goldman, Sachs & Co., Lehman Brothers Inc. and
Salomon Brothers Inc, and their respective successors; provided,
however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary
U.S. Government Securities dealer in New York City (a "Primary
Treasury Dealer"), the Company shall substitute therefor another
Primary Treasury Dealer.

           Holders of Notes to be redeemed will receive notice
thereof by first-class mail at least 30 and not more than 60 days
prior to the date fixed for redemption.
