DESCRIPTION OF AMENDMENT:
-------------------------

The Company has filed this 10-K/A to amend a typographical error that appears
in Exhibit 13 to Item 14 (Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules and reports
on form 8-K) of the 10-K filed on September 28, 2001. The error appears on Page
15 of Exhibit 13 and consists of a transposition of the descriptive headers for
two lines in the Shareowners Equity subsection of the Liabilities and
Shareowners' Equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The row headers
"Retained Earnings" and "Capital in excess of par value" in that subsection
were transposed. The column headers and corresponding financial information that
appeared in the Consolidated Statements of Shareowners' Equity section of
Exhibit 13 was correct.
