This amendment corrects a typographical error in the Financial Data Schedule filed on 11 August 2000. The amounts for the line item (receivables) and the line item (allowances) were revised, with no change in net receivables due to the revision. The revision has no impact on the Statement of Consolidated Income or the Consolidated Balance Sheet. 1,000,000 U S Dollar 9-MOS SEP-30-2000 OCT-01-1999 JUN-30-2000 1 113 0 973 12 446 1949 10626 5212 8567 1684 2800 0 0 249 2395 8567 4018 4018 2796 2796 92 7 141 (208) (120) (94) 0 0 0 (94) (0.44) (0.44)
