Dear Mr. Sharpe:


This will confirm our telephone conversation of October 28, 1996, where it was concluded that the following scenario is not reportable under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act:

Four entities, each of whom may or may not be directly or indirectly an over $100 million and/or over a $10 million person, are jointly acquiring equal interests (25% each) in under $60 million of assets of an over $100 million person.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Very truly yours
