The Supplement dated September 25, 1995 to the Prospectus dated September 8,
1995 is hereby amended by replacing the last two sentences of the subsection
entitled "Sale, Exchange or Retirement of the Notes" (beginning on page S-12)
with the following two sentences: "However, Congress has in the past, and may
in the future, consider legislation which, if enacted, may substantially change
the tax rate applicable to net capital gain of many taxpayers (including
corporate taxpayers). It is uncertain whether this or any other tax legislation
regarding capital gains tax rates will be enacted."
