Note 1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated 
financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly 
the financial position and results of operations of National 
Semiconductor Corporation and its subsidiaries ("National" or the 
"Company").  See Note 2.  Interim results of operations are not 
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. 
This report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated 
financial statements and notes thereto included in the annual report on 
Form 10-K for fiscal year ended May 29, 1994.

     Securities held-to-maturity and available-for-sale:  Effective the 
beginning of fiscal 1995, the Company prospectively adopted Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain 
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("FAS 115").  The effect of 
adopting FAS 115 was not material to the consolidated financial 
statements.  Prior to implementing FAS 115, the Company's investments 
were carried at the lower of cost or market value.  Under FAS 115, the 
Company has classified its investments in certain debt and equity 
securities as "held-to-maturity" or "available-for-sale".

Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity when the Company has 
the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. 
Held-to-maturity securities are recorded as either short-term or long-
term on the balance sheet based upon the contractual maturity date and 
are stated at amortized cost. 

Marketable equity securities and debt securities not classified as held-
to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale.  Available-for-sale 
securities are classified on the balance sheet based upon management's 
intent and are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and 
losses, net of tax, reported as a separate component of shareholders' 
equity.  The amortized cost of debt securities in this category is 
adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to 
maturity, both of which are included in interest income.  Realized gains 
and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary on 
available-for-sale securities are included in interest income.  The cost 
of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

     Effective the beginning of fiscal 1995, the Company adopted 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112, "Employers' 
Accounting for Postemployment Benefits Other than Pensions" ("FAS 112"); 
the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's financial 
statements.  

Note 2.  Results of Operations  
Included within SG&A expenses is net intellectual property income of 
$4.8 million for the third quarter and $14.3 million for the nine months 
ended, compared to $10.3 million and $13.6 million for the respective 
1994 periods.  Also included is intellectual property expense of $0.4 
million and $7.3 million for third quarter and the nine months ended, 
respectively, compared to $5.0 million and $6.3 million for the 
comparable 1994 periods.  In addition, the Company sold an investment in 
the third quarter of fiscal 1995 resulting in a $2.6 million gain.  The 
nine months ended include gains for the sale of investments of $6.9 
million for 1995 and $2.2 million for 1994.  The first nine months of 
fiscal 1994 include costs of $10.3 million for centralization of certain 
sales distribution facilities.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Sales    Sales grew 5 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 1995 
compared to the related 1994 period led by increases in Europe and North 
America for analog and mixed signal products, partially offset by 
worldwide declines in logic products, concentrated in the Americas 
region.  Analog and mixed signal product sales grew to 56 percent of net 
sales during the third quarter and the nine months ended, compared to 52 
percent for the comparable 1994 periods.  While orders were up for 
analog and mixed signal products, the company's ability to convert the 
orders into sales was impacted by wafer fab capacity limitations.  For 
the nine months ended, sales were essentially flat compared to 1994 as 
the 9 percent increase in analog and mixed signal product sales year 
over year was offset by a decline in sales of bipolar logic products.  
In the Company's Standard Products Group ("SPG"), which represents 
approximately 70 percent of the Company's net sales, sales grew 4 
percent from a year ago quarter and in the Communications and Computing 
Group ("CCG"), which represents approximately 30 percent of the 
Company's net sales, sales grew 9 percent.

Gross Margin    Gross margin decreased from 42 percent a year ago to 40 
percent for the third quarter.  Included within gross margin in the 
current quarter is a $3.7 million charge for planned headcount and 
business repositioning actions. In addition, pricing declines in bi-
polar logic and EPROM products resulted in significantly lower margins 
for these products.  Margins on analog and mixed signal products 
decreased slightly from 50 percent in 1994 to 48 percent in 1995 due to 
capacity limitations at plants in Arlington, Texas and Greenock, 
Scotland.  Gross margins as a percentage of sales were flat for the nine 
months ended compared to a year ago at 42 percent.  While  analog and 
mixed signal product margins were flat at 50 percent for the nine months 
ended, the increase in the portion of total Company sales from these 
higher margin products offset declines in bi-polar logic product 
margins.
 
Research and Development    Research and development ("R&D") expenses 
were up as a percentage of sales to 13 percent and 12 percent for the 
third quarter and the nine months ended compared to 12 percent and 11 
percent for the respective 1994 periods.  Current quarter and year to 
date amounts include a one-time charge of $1.5 million for purchased in-
process technology related to the acquisition of Comlinear Corporation 
("Comlinear") in the current quarter and the Company's continued 
investment in analog and mixed signal products.

Selling, General, and Administrative   While selling, general, and 
administrative ("SG&A") expenses have decreased as a percentage of sales 
to 17 percent for the third quarter and the nine months ended compared 
to 18 percent for the comparable 1994 periods, included within SG&A 
expenses is net intellectual property income of $4.8 million for the 
third quarter and $14.3 million for the nine months ended, compared to 
$10.3 million and $13.6 million for the respective 1994 periods.  Also 
included is intellectual property expense of $0.4 million and $7.3 
million for the third quarter and the nine months ended, respectively, 
compared to $5.0 million and $6.3 million for the comparable 1994 
periods.  In addition, the Company sold an investment in the third 
quarter of fiscal 1995 resulting in a $2.6 million gain.  The nine 
months ended include gains on the sale of investments of $6.9 million 



for 1995 and $2.2 million for 1994.  The first nine months of fiscal 
1994 include costs of $10.3 million for centralization of certain sales 
distribution facilities.

Exclusive of the above items, SG&A expenses in the third quarter and 
nine months ended were $102.7 million and $312.2 million for 1995 and 
$103.2 million and $303.0 million for 1994 or 18 percent of sales.  The 
increase in SG&A expense, net of the above items, in absolute dollars 
for the nine months ended is primarily attributable to annual increases 
in salaries for all employees, additional promotional costs, and 
increased costs for certain employee benefit plans.

Restructuring of Operations     During the current quarter the Company 
released $10.1 million of restructuring reserves originally provided in 
1994, which was partially offset by $4.6 million (of which $2.4 million 
is non-cash) in additional charges for existing restructuring programs 
identified by the Company.  The release of the $10.1 million is 
attributable to the Company's decision to retain certain facilities and 
related support.  The additional restructuring requirements include 
charges for the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Dynacraft, Inc. 
("DCI"), for continued consolidation of the DCI business and the 
decision by the Company to transfer the majority of the military 
assembly operations from South Portland, Maine to the assembly 
operations in Singapore.  The charges for these actions, which are 
expected to be completed during fiscal 1996, consist primarily of fixed 
asset dispositions, reductions in the work force and costs related to 
termination of a non-cancelable commitment for a facility.

Interest Income and Interest Expense     Net interest income increased 
to $5 million and $13 million for the third quarter and nine months 
ended compared to $3 million and $7 million for the respective 1994 
periods.  The increase in net interest income relates to an increase in 
average interest rates compared to a year ago offset by a slightly lower 
average cash and investment balance during the first nine months of 
fiscal 1995.  The increase in interest income was somewhat offset by an 
increase in interest expense for the nine months ended, due to the 
assumption and retirement of debt related to a facility repurchased in 
the second quarter.

Income Taxes     The effective tax rate for fiscal year 1995 is 20 
percent compared to 15 percent for fiscal year 1994.  The increase in 
the annual effective tax rate primarily relates to the exhaustion of 
certain net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards.  In the 
current quarter the Company reduced the valuation allowance for specific 
deferred tax assets by approximately $19 million  based upon continuing 
profits recorded in certain jurisdictions.

Financial Condition     During the first nine months of 1995, cash and 
cash equivalents decreased $109 million.  The Company generated $169 
million positive cash flow from operations for the nine months ended 
despite increased cash used for accounts payable and accrued expenses.  
In addition, the Company increased its receivables, inventories and 
deferred tax assets.  Investing activities used $243 million during the 
first nine months of fiscal 1995 driven primarily by purchases of 
property, plant and equipment of $240 million and investments of $20 
million.  In addition, an unrealized gain of $20 million was recorded in 
equity for the current quarter to record the market value of an equity 
investment.



Financing activities used $35 million during the first nine months and 
include the Company's repurchase, during the second quarter, of the 
equity interest in one of the facilities it had sold during fiscal 1988 
and leased back, using approximately $12 million in cash and assuming 
$23 million in debt.  The debt was retired during the current quarter.  
The Company is currently in negotiations to repurchase the equity 
interest in another facility it had sold during fiscal 1988 and leased 
back and expects to use approximately $40 million to $50 million of cash 
and assume $10 million to $20 million of debt during the fourth quarter, 
if the transaction is completed.  In addition, financing activities 
include the draw down on its multicurrency line of $21 million and the 
repurchase of 3 million shares of its common stock on the open market 
for $52 million.  The Company maintains a multicurrency agreement and 
revolving finance agreement, both of which contain restrictive 
covenants, conditions and default provisions which, among others, 
require the maintenance of financial ratios and certain levels of 
tangible net worth.  Management believes existing cash and investment 
balances, existing financing agreements, cash provided by operations, 
and cash generated from issuance of stock to employees will be 
sufficient to fund anticipated capital expenditures and other investing 
and financing activities through the foreseeable future.

Business Combination     On January 5, 1995, the Company completed the 
acquisition of Comlinear, a manufacturer of high-performance analog and 
mixed signal integrated circuits based in Fort Collins, Colorado.  The 
acquisition has been recorded using the purchase method of accounting,  
whereby the purchase price was allocated to the assets and liabilities 
based on the estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition.  
Approximately $1.5 million of the total purchase price represented in-
process technology and was charged to the Company's operations during 
the quarter.  The remaining cost in excess of net assets acquired was 
approximately $5.4 million and is being amortized on a straight-line 
basis over seven years.  Comlinear's results of operations have been 
included in the Company's consolidated financial statements from its 
acquisition date.  Comlinear's operations are not material in relation 
to the Company's consolidated financial statements; accordingly, pro 
forma financial information has not been presented.

Outlook     Despite continued profitability, future trends for revenue 
and profitability continue to be difficult to predict.  Declines in the 
Bi-polar logic and EPROM marketplaces have impacted the Company's 
relative growth in the current fiscal year and the Company expects these 
markets to continue to decline.  While the Company has set aggressive 
plans to ramp up capacity during the fourth quarter, the Company 
believes it will be constrained in bringing additional capacity on line 
until the first quarter of fiscal 1996 with resulting limitations on 
fully meeting demand.  Risks and uncertainties facing the Company 
include business conditions and the rate of growth in the personal 
computer industry and the general economy; competitive factors and price 
pressures; market acceptance and timing of new products; capacity 
limitations; and international economic conditions.  The Company 
believes sales and gross margins as a percentage of sales in the 
foreseeable future will be comparable to the first nine months.  
Operating expenses as a percentage of sales are expected to remain at 
existing levels.  National continues to pursue opportunities to leverage 
its intellectual property; however, the timing and amount of future 
licensing income cannot be forecast with certainty.


PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
- -------------------------
    On  December 1, 1992, Hughes Aircraft Company ("Hughes") filed an 
action in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern Division of the 
Northern District of Illinois alleging the Company had infringed U.S. 
Patents Nos. 3,472,712; 3,507,709; and 3,615,934 and seeking unspecified 
amounts of damages and costs.  The Company was served with the suit on 
January 7, 1993.  The Company countersued Hughes' parent, General Motors 
("GM") and Hughes in the same action alleging infringement of U.S. 
Patent Nos. 3,901,735; 4,325,984; and 4,599,634.  The case was 
transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of 
California.  The Company also filed an action in California State Court 
seeking declaratory relief and alleging breach of contract by Hughes and 
GM in connection with a prior patent cross license agreement entered 
into between GM and Fairchild Camera Instrument Corporation 
(subsequently renamed Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation and purchased 
by the Company in October 1987).  In September 1994, the parties agreed 
to resolve the dispute in its entirety in a binding mini-trial procedure 
structured to handle the primary disputed issue; as part of the 
agreement, the Company dismissed with prejudice the related California 
State Court action.  In December, 1994, the mini-trial was conducted 
before a judge selected by the parties on the single issue of whether 
claim 2 of the U.S. Patent No. 3,472,712 owned by Hughes was infringed 
by one of the Company's semiconductor fabrication processes.  For 
purposes of the mini-trial, the patent was presumed valid and the 
parties agreed in advance to the amounts of damages that would be paid 
by the Company, which amount was not disclosed to the judge until after 
the judge had issued his findings.  The judge found for Hughes on the 
single issue presented in the mini-trial.  In accordance with the 
agreement of the parties, the Company paid to Hughes the sum of $10 
million and the Federal Court action was dismissed with prejudice.  The 
dismissal constituted a full settlement and release of all claims for 
past infringement of the patents in issue.  In addition, the Company 
granted Hughes and GM licenses under its patents at issue; no such 
license was granted by Hughes back to the Company because the Hughes 
patents at issue had expired.

                    NATIONAL SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION

                           STOCK OPTION PLAN
                     (as amended through January 19, 1995)



1.    TITLE OF PLAN

      The title of this Plan is the National Semiconductor Corporation 
Stock Option Plan, hereinafter referred to as the "Plan", and formerly 
known as the National Semiconductor Corporation 1977 Stock Option Plan.


2.    PURPOSE

      The Plan is intended to align the interests of eligible key 
employees of National Semiconductor Corporation (hereinafter called the 
"Corporation") and its subsidiaries (as hereinafter defined) with the 
interests of the stockholders of the Corporation and to provide 
incentives for such employees to exert maximum efforts for the success 
of the Corporation.  By extending to key employees the opportunity to 
acquire proprietary interests in the Corporation and to participate in 
its success, the Plan may be expected to benefit the Corporation and its 
stockholders by making it possible for the Corporation to attract and 
retain the best available talent and by rewarding key management and 
technical personnel for their part in increasing the value of the 
Corporation's shares.  It is further intended that options granted 
pursuant to this Plan may be incentive stock options under Section 422A 
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), or may be 
options which are not incentive stock options (hereinafter called "non-
qualified stock options").


3.    STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

      There will be reserved for issue upon the exercise of options 
granted under the Plan 32,754,929 shares of the Corporation's $.50 par 
value Common Stock, subject to adjustment as provided in Paragraph 8, 
which may be unissued shares, reacquired shares, or shares bought on the 
market.  If any option which shall have been granted shall expire or 
terminate for any reason without having been exercised in full, the 
unpurchased shares shall again become available for the purposes of the 
Plan (unless the Plan shall have been terminated).


4.     ADMINISTRATION

      (a)    The Plan shall be administered by a committee of the Board 
of Directors of the Corporation (the "Committee") which shall be 
appointed by a majority of the whole Board.  The Committee shall be 
constituted to permit the Plan to comply with (i) Rule 16b-3 promulgated 
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") and any 
successor rule and (ii) IRS regulations issued under Section 162(m) of 
the Code, and shall initially consist of not less than three members of 
the Board, all of whom are ineligible for benefits under the Plan and 



none of whom has been so eligible for at least one year prior to serving 
on such Committee.

      (b)    The Committee shall have the plenary power, subject to and  
within the limits of the express provisions of the Plan:

             (i)    To determine from time to time which of the eligible 
persons shall be granted options under the Plan; the time or times 
(during the term of the option) within which all or portions of each 
option may be exercised and the number of shares for which an option or 
options shall be granted to each of them.  Notwithstanding the 
foregoing, no person may be granted more than 500,000 options during any 
one fiscal year of the Corporation.

             (ii)    To construe and interpret the Plan and options 
granted under it, and to establish, amend, and revoke rules and 
regulations for its administration.  The Committee, in the exercise of 
this power, shall generally determine all questions of policy and 
expediency that may arise, may correct any defect, or supply any 
omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any option 
agreement in a manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary or 
expedient to make the Plan fully effective.

             (iii)   To prescribe the terms and provisions of each 
option granted (which need not be identical).

             (iv)    To determine whether options granted shall be 
incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options.

             (v)     To determine whether options granted shall be 
transferable without consideration to immediate family members or family 
trusts for the benefit of optionee's immediate family members.  As used 
herein, "immediate family" means parents, spouses and children.

      (c)    The Committee shall not have the authority to grant new 
options in exchange for the cancellation of stock options previously 
granted under the Plan or under any other stock option plan of the 
Corporation. 


5.    ELIGIBILITY

      Options may be granted only to regular salaried officers and key 
employees of the Corporation and its subsidiaries.  The term 
"subsidiary" corporation shall mean any corporation in which the 
Corporation controls, directly or indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or 
more of the combined voting power of all classes of stock.  A director 
of the Corporation shall not be eligible for the benefits of the Plan 
unless such person also is a regular salaried employee of the 
Corporation and/or of any subsidiary.

6.    TERMS OF OPTION AND OPTION AGREEMENTS

      Each option shall be evidenced by a written Stock Option Agreement 
which may expressly identify the options as incentive stock options or 
as non-qualified stock options, and be in such form and contain such 
provisions as the Committee shall from time to time deem appropriate; 
provided, however, that the grant of a non-qualified option pursuant to 



this Plan shall in no way be construed to be an alternative to the right 
of an employee to purchase stock pursuant to any incentive stock option 
heretofore or hereafter granted to an employee pursuant  to any stock 
option plans now in existence or hereafter adopted by the Corporation.  
The terms of the option agreements need not be identical, but each 
option agreement shall include, by appropriate language, or be subject 
to, the substance of all of the applicable following provisions:

     (a)     The purchase price under each option granted shall be as 
determined by the Committee but shall in no instance be less than 100% 
of fair market value on the date of grant.  The fair market value on the 
date of grant shall be the opening price of the Common Stock on the New 
York Stock Exchange on such date (or if there shall be no trading on 
such date, then on the first previous date on which there is such 
trading).

     (b)     The maximum term of any incentive stock option shall be ten 
years from the date it was granted.

     (c)     The maximum term of any non-qualified stock option shall be 
ten years and one day from the date it was granted.

     (d)     An option may not be exercised to any extent, either by the 
person to whom it was granted or by the grantee's transferee, or by any 
person after the grantee's death, unless the person to whom the option 
was granted has remained in the continuous employ of the Corporation, or 
of a subsidiary, for not less than six months from the date when the 
option was granted.  Otherwise, each option shall be exercisable as 
determined by the Committee.

     (e)     The Corporation, during the terms of options granted under 
the Plan, at all times will keep available the number of shares of stock 
required to satisfy such options.

     (f)     The Corporation will seek to obtain from each regulatory 
commission or agency having jurisdiction such authority as may be 
required to issue and sell shares of stock to satisfy such options.  
Inability of the Corporation to obtain from any such regulatory 
commission or agency authority which counsel for the Corporation deems 
necessary for the lawful issuance and sale of its stock to satisfy such 
options shall relieve the Corporation from any liability for failure to 
issue and sell stock to satisfy such options pending the time when such 
authority is obtained or is obtainable.

     (g)     Neither a person to whom an option is granted nor his or 
her transferee, legal representative, heir, legatee, or distributee, 
shall be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a 
holder with respect to, any shares subject to such option unless and 
until he or she has exercised his or her option pursuant to the terms 
thereof.

     (h)     In order to be exempt under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, 
the option may not be transferable except by will or by the laws of 
descent or distribution, and during the lifetime of the person to whom 
the option is granted he or she alone may exercise it.

     (i)     An option shall terminate and may not be exercised if the 
person to whom it is granted ceases to be continuously employed by  the 
Corporation, or by a subsidiary of the Corporation, except (subject 
nevertheless to the last sentence of this subparagraph (h)):  (1) if the 



grantee's continuous employment is terminated for any reason other than 
(i) retirement, (ii) permanent disability, or (iii) death, the grantee 
or the grantee's transferee may exercise the option to the extent that 
the grantee was entitled to exercise such option at the date of such 
termination at any time within a period of three (3) months following 
the date of such termination, or if the grantee shall die within the 
period of three (3) months following the date of such termination 
without having exercised such option, the option may be exercised within 
a period of one year following the grantee's death by the grantee's 
transferee or the person or persons to whom the grantee's rights under 
the option pass by will or by the laws of descent or distribution but 
only to the extent exercisable at the date of such termination; (2) if 
the grantee's continuous employment is terminated by (i) retirement, 
(ii) permanent disability, or (iii) death, the option may be exercised 
in accordance with its terms and conditions at any time within a period 
of five (5) years following the date of such termination by the grantee 
or the grantee's transferee, or in the event of the grantee's death, by 
the persons to whom the grantee's rights under the option shall pass by 
will or by the laws of descent or distribution; (3) if the grantee's 
continuous employment is terminated and within a period of ninety (90) 
days thereafter the grantee is recalled to the active payroll, the 
Committee may reinstate any portion of the option previously granted but 
not exercised.  Nothing contained in this subparagraph (h) is intended 
to extend the stated term of the option and in no event may an option be 
exercised by anyone after the expiration of its stated term.

     (j)     Option agreements evidencing incentive stock options shall 
contain such terms and provisions as may be necessary to render them 
incentive stock options pursuant to Section 422A of the Code and the 
Income Tax Regulation thereunder, as the same or any successor statute 
or regulations may at the time be in effect.

     (k)     Nothing in this Plan or in any option granted hereunder 
shall confer on any optionee any right to continue in the employ of the 
Corporation or any of its subsidiaries, or to interfere in any way with 
the right of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries to terminate his 
or her employment at any time.


7.    TIME OF GRANTING OPTION

      The Committee shall determine the date on which options are 
granted under the Plan.  All options granted must be approved at a 
meeting of the Committee by a majority of the members of the Committee.  
If an option agreement is not executed by an employee and returned to 
the Corporation on or prior to ninety (90) days after the date the 
option is granted (or such earlier date as the Committee may specify), 
such option shall terminate.


8.    ADJUSTMENT IN NUMBER OF SHARES AND IN OPTION PRICE

      In the event there is any change in the shares of the  Corporation 
through the declaration of stock dividends or a stock split-up, or 
through recapitalization resulting in share split-ups, or combinations 
or exchanges of shares, or otherwise, the number of shares available for 



option, as well as the shares subject to any option and the option price 
thereof, shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee.


9.    PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE AND WITHHOLDING TAXES

     (a)     The purchase price for all shares purchased pursuant to 
options exercised must be either paid in full in cash, or paid in full, 
with the consent of the Committee, in Common Stock of the Corporation 
valued at fair market value on the date of exercise or a combination of 
cash and Common Stock.  Fair market value on the date of exercise is the 
opening price of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on such 
date, or if there shall be no trading on such date, then on the first 
previous date on which there was such trading.

     (b)     The Committee may permit the payment of all or part of the 
applicable withholding taxes due upon exercise of an option, up to the 
highest marginal rates then in effect, by the withholding of shares 
otherwise issuable upon exercise of the option.  Option shares withheld 
in payment of such taxes shall be valued at the fair market value of the 
Corporation's Common Stock on the date of exercise as defined herein.


10.    CHANGE IN CONTROL

      In the event the Corporation is merged into or acquired by another 
entity in a transaction involving a change in control, the Committee 
shall have the complete authority and discretion, but not the 
obligation, to accelerate the vesting of any outstanding options granted 
hereunder.  The Committee may also ask the Board of Directors to 
negotiate, as part of any agreement involving a sale or merger of the 
Corporation, a sale of substantially all the Corporation's assets or 
similar transaction, terms providing protection for employees holding 
options under the Plan.


11.    AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION, OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

     (a)     The Board may amend, modify, suspend or terminate the Plan 
for the purpose of meeting or addressing any changes in legal 
requirements or for any other purpose permitted by law.  The Board will 
seek stockholder approval of an amendment if determined to be required 
by or advisable under regulations of the Securities and Exchange 
Commission or the Internal Revenue Service, the rules of any stock 
exchange on which the Corporation's stock is listed, or other applicable 
law or regulation.

     (b)     The Plan shall continue in effect until all shares 
available for issuance under the Plan have been issued.  An option may 
not be granted while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated.

     (c)     The rights and obligations under any options granted while 
the Plan is in effect shall not be altered or impaired by amendment, 
suspension or termination of the Plan, except with the consent of the 
person to whom the option was granted or the grantee's transferee or to 
whom rights under an option shall have passed by will or by the laws of 
descent and distribution.



12.    EFFECTIVE DATE

      The Plan, as amended and restated, shall become effective on April 
22, 1994, subject to approval by the stockholders of the Corporation 
within twelve (12) months after said date.



                                                            Exhibit 10.2

                                   ARTICLE 2

                                Effective Date

     The Agreement will become effective as of May 29, 1994, to be 
effective for the Company's fiscal year 1995. 


                                   ARTICLE 3

                        Eligibility for Plan Participation

A.    Prior to the commencement of each Plan Period, members of the 
Company's management committee will recommend to the President of the 
Company potential Participants for the Plan Period and their Incentive 
Level.  The President of the Company shall then designate Plan 
Participants and their Incentive Level for the Plan Period.  Executive 
Officers may not participate in the plan.

B.    Participants will be notified of their eligibility before the 
beginning of each Plan Period.  Continued participation will be re-
evaluated at the beginning of each Plan Period.

C.    Newly hired Employees may be added as Participants to the Plan 
during the Plan Period.   Other non-participating Employees may be 
considered for participation in the Plan after the beginning of the Plan 
Period, provided they have assumed significantly greater responsibility 
during the Plan Period.  Participants who are added to the Plan during a 
Plan Period will receive a prorated Award based on months of 
participation in the Plan, provided they have at least six months of 
Plan participation.


                                  ARTICLE 4

                                Target Awards

A.    Each Participant will be assigned an Incentive Level with 
associated Target Awards expressed as percentages of the Participant's 
Base Salary.  Target Awards will be the same for all Participants at any 
given Incentive Level.

B.     In the event that a Participant changes positions during the Plan 
Period and the change results in a change in Incentive Level, whether 
due to promotion or demotion, the Incentive Level will be prorated to 
reflect the time spent in each position.


                                   ARTICLE 5

                             Plan Performance Goals

A.    Performance Goals and associated weights will be established at 
the start of each Plan Period.  Each Performance Goal will have a 
defined Threshold, Target and Superior level of performance.  
Performance Goals and their associated weights may change from one Plan 
Period to another Plan Period to reflect the Company's operational and 
strategic goals.



B.    Weights for corporate and business unit financial Performance 
Measures will be established at the start of each Plan Period and will 
be equal unless otherwise approved in advance by the President of the 
Company.

C.    Awards will range between 0% and 200% of Target Award.  A scale 
showing the amount of the Participant's Award relative to the Target 
Award at the various performance levels will be developed for each 
Performance Goal.  Performance levels and associated Awards (as a 
percent of the Target Award) will be set generally in a straight linear 
relationship from Threshold to Superior Performance Goals, with Awards 
at the Superior level being 150% of the Target Award, Awards at the 
Target level being 100% of the Target Award and Awards at the Threshold 
level being 50% of the Target Award.  Performances at less than the 
Threshold level or more than the Superior level are subject to 
discretionary adjustments that may not necessarily follow a linear 
progression.

D.    Financial and strategic Performance Goals and Target Performance 
Goals will be recommended by the responsible group manager for each 
specific group or business unit and approved by the President of the 
Company. 

E.    Under exceptional circumstances, revisions to financial 
performance targets may be proposed at the midpoint of the Plan Period 
if the business environment or key planning assumptions change 
significantly from conditions assumed at the start of the Plan Period.  
Such revisions are subject to approval by the President of the Company.

F.    Performance Goals, performance scales and Awards may be adjusted  
in the event the Committee or the President determine there has been an 
Extraordinary Occurrence during the Plan Period that (i) affects one or 
more Performance Goals; (ii) unreasonably distorts Award calculations; 
or (iii) results in undue benefit or detriment to the Plan Participants.  
Such adjustments will be made solely for the purpose of neutralizing the 
effect of the Extraordinary Occurrence.


                                   ARTICLE 6

                       Calculation and Payment of Awards

A.    A Participant's Award will be calculated as a percentage of Base 
Salary as follows:

      1)   The Participant's Target Award is determined prior to the 
beginning of the Plan Period.

      2)   The performance of the Participant's group is scored on an 
overall basis at the end of the Plan Period.

      3)   The group's overall performance score creates an incentive 
pool.

      4)   The group's incentive pool is divided among the Participants 
within the group, based on individual contributions toward 
the group's overall performance score.  No one individual 
Award may exceed 200% of the Participant's Target Award 
amount.



B.    Measurement of performance on Performance Goals for Participants 
will be scored by the Company.

C.    Awards will be paid in cash. 

D.    All or any portion of the Award may be deferred if the Participant 
makes a voluntary irrevocable election to defer payment to a future date 
pursuant to the deferral terms contained in Article 8.



                               ARTICLE 7

                        Termination of Employment
 

A.    To be eligible to receive an Award, the Participant must be 
employed by the Company on the Award Date.  A Participant who terminates 
employment prior to the Award Date will result in forfeiture of the 
Award, except as otherwise provided in this Article 7.

      Disability:  If a Participant is Disabled, the Participant will 
receive an Award on the Award Date representing 1/12 of the total Award 
for each month of employment in the Plan Period.

      Retirement:  A Retired Participant will receive on the Award Date 
an Award representing 1/12 of the total Award for each month of 
employment in the Plan Period.

      Death:  If a Participant dies, Awards will be paid on the Award 
Date to:  (a) beneficiaries designated by the Participant; if none, then 
(b) to a legal representative of the Participant; if none, then (c) to 
the persons entitled thereto as determined by a court of competent 
jurisdiction.  The amount of the Award will be 1/12 of the total Award 
for each month of employment in the Plan Period.

      Reduction in Force:  Participants whose employment is terminated 
by a reduction in force during the Plan Period will receive an Award on 
the Award Date representing 1/12 of the total Award for each month of 
employment in the fiscal year.  If a Participant's employment is 
terminated by a reduction in force after the Plan Period but before the 
Award Date, the Participant will receive the full Award on the Award 
Date.

B.    The Committee reserves the right to reduce an Award on a pro-rata 
basis to reflect a Participant's leave of absence during a Plan Period.


                                ARTICLE 8

                           Deferral of Awards

A.    Each Participant is entitled to make an irrevocable election (in  
the form of the Notice of Election attached) to defer receipt of all or 
any portion of any Award.  For any Plan Period, the Notice of Election 
must be completed prior to thirty (30) days before the end of the Plan 
Period.  Notices of Election are not self-renewing and must be completed 
for each Plan Period if deferral is desired for the applicable Plan 
Period.



B.    For each Participant who elects deferral, the Company will 
establish and maintain book entry accounts which will reflect the 
deferred Award and any interest credited to the account.

C.    For deferred Awards, Participant deferred accounts will be 
credited each Award Date with interest set at the rate for long-term A-
rated corporate bonds, as reported by the investment banking firm of 
Salomon Brothers Inc of New York City (or such other investment banking 
firm as the Committee may specify) during the first week of each 
calendar year.  The interest rate will be reset at the beginning of each 
calendar year.  Interest will begin to accrue on the Award Date and will 
be credited each Award Date until the date payment is actually made.  If 
a Participant's Award is distributed at any time other than on an Award 
Date, the Participant's account will be credited with interest until the 
date of distribution.

D.    Participants will not receive deferred Awards until the earlier of 
termination of employment for any reason (including retirement, 
disability, or death) or a date pre-selected by the Participant.  The 
account balance will be paid in a lump sum in the month following the 
earlier of termination of employment for any reason or the pre-selected 
date unless installment payments are permitted and have been elected as 
follows:  Upon termination of employment by reason of retirement or 
disability, a Participant who has previously elected to defer an Award 
may irrevocably elect to have the balance of the deferred Award plus 
accrued interest paid to the Participant in periodic annual installments 
over a period of ten (10) years.  Payments shall commence or be made 
annually on a day each year that is within thirty (30) days of the 
anniversary date following Participant's retirement or disability.  

E.    If the Participant's employment is terminated for any reason other 
than death, disability or retirement, the Participant will be paid the 
entire account balance in a lump sum in the month after termination.  If 
a Participant has requested installment payments and dies either before 
or after distribution has begun, the unpaid balance will be paid in a 
lump sum in the month following the Participant's death.

F.    Payment of part or all of the deferred Award may be accelerated in 
the case of severe hardship, which shall mean an emergency or unexpected 
situation in the Participant's financial affairs, including, but not 
limited to, illness or accident involving the Participant or any of the 
Participant's dependents.  All payments in case of hardship must be 
specifically approved by the Company.

G.    No Participant may borrow against his or her account.

H.    The Participant may designate a beneficiary to receive deferred 
Awards in the event of the Participant's death.  If the Participant is 
married at the time of designation, the Participant's spouse must 
consent to the beneficiary designation.  The Participant's beneficiary 
may be changed without the consent of any prior beneficiary except that, 
for married Participants, the Participant's spouse must consent to any 
change in beneficiary.  If no beneficiary is chosen or the beneficiary 
does not survive the Participant, the Award account balance will be paid 
in accordance with the terms of the Plan.




                              ARTICLE 9

                     Interpretations and Rule-Making

     The Company shall have the right and power to:  (i) interpret the 
provisions of the Agreement, and resolve questions thereunder, which 
interpretations and resolutions shall be final and conclusive; (ii) 
adopt such rules and regulations with regard to the administration of 
the Plan as are consistent with the terms of the Agreement, and (iii) 
generally take all action to equitably administer the operation of the 
Plan and this Agreement.

                               ARTICLE 10

           Declaration of Incentives, Amendment, or Discontinuance

     The President of the Company acting within his sole discretion may 
on or before the Award Date: (i) determine not to make any Awards to any 
or all Participants for any Plan Period; (ii) make any modification or 
amendment to this Agreement for any or all Participants; or (iii) 
discontinue this Agreement for any or all Participants.  


                               ARTICLE 11

                             Miscellaneous

A.    Except as provided in Article 8 H, no right or interest in the 
Plan is transferable or assignable except by will or the laws of descent 
and distribution.

B.    Participation in this Plan does not guarantee any right to
