EXHIBIT 10.14

                                    AMENDMENT


         This amendment to the Employment Agreement dated September 12, 1995,
between The Perkin-Elmer Corporation (now named PE Corporation (NY)) (the
"Company") and Tony L. White ("Executive") (the "Agreement") is made this 17th
day of August, 2001.

         WHEREAS, Company and Executive mutually desire to modify section 6(d)
and Exhibit A of the Agreement, particularly in view of the need to clarify the
application of certain provisions of the pension plans involved under such
Agreement.

        NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

         1.       Section 6(d) of the Agreement is amended to read as follows:

                  (d)      Supplemental Pension Benefit. It is understood that
                           Executive has been employed by his prior employer for
                           a period of twenty-six years ("Prior Service
                           Period"). In addition to receiving credit under the
                           Company's qualified defined benefit plan ("Pension
                           Plan") and the Company's non-qualified Excess Benefit
                           Plan (the "Non-Qualified Plan") for Executive's
                           service with the Company under the terms of this
                           Agreement, the Company shall pay Executive a special
                           supplemental pension benefit equal to the amount
                           which he would receive under the Pension Plan and
                           Non-Qualified Plan if Executive were credited with
                           his Prior Service Period under the Pension Plan and
                           the Non-Qualified Plan. Executive's benefit hereunder
                           shall be calculated in the manner set forth in
                           Exhibit A hereto, and in the case of retirement
                           before age 65 shall be based on Executive's prior
                           employer's pension plan early retirement methodology.
                           Any benefits payable to Executive hereunder shall be
                           reduced by $111,528 per year, and shall also be
                           reduced by any amounts paid to Executive under the
                           Pension Plan or the Non-Qualified Plan.

         2.       Exhibit A to the Agreement is replaced by Exhibit A hereto.

         3.       In all other respects the Agreement is unmodified and remains
                  in full force and effect.
