These operations were part of the Company's Specialty Minerals segment.

     The following table provides selected financial information for the Walsum plant included within discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income.  The amounts exclude general corporate overhead and interest expense which were previously allocated to the entity comprising the discontinued operations.
