ITEM 5.       OTHER EVENTS

          On March 15, 1999, the State of Indiana filed a
motion to intervene in the lawsuit filed by AlliedSignal,
Inc. ("AlliedSignal") on February 26, 1999 in the U.S.
District Court for the Northern District of Indiana. This
motion to intervene relates only to AlliedSignal's claim that
the merger transaction between Coltec Industries Inc
("Coltec") and The B.F.Goodrich Company ("BFGoodrich")
violates antitrust law. As previously disclosed, Coltec and
BFGoodrich intend to vigorously defend the lawsuit; however,
the lawsuit and the motion to intervene could delay or
prevent the merger.
