ADDENDUM
Exchangeable Floating Rate Notes
Other Terms

	The holder shall have the right, as of the Maturity Date (the "Exchange Date" 
as to the Notes), to exchange any Principal  Amount of $100,000 (or an 
integral multiple thereof) of the Notes for a like principal amount of a 
tranche of the Issuer's Medium-Term Notes, Series F having the same terms as 
the Notes, except that the new tranche of Notes shall have the Issue Date, 
Spread and Maturity Date specified below ("Exchange Notes").  Exchange Notes 
(and any further Exchange Notes for which Exchange Notes may successively be 
exchanged) will, except as provided below, include a similar provision giving 
the holder thereof the right, as of the Maturity Date (the "Exchange Date" as
to such Exchange Notes), to exchange any Principal Amount of $100,000 (or an 
integral multiple thereof) of such Exchange Notes (such Exchange Notes being for
these purposes sometimes referred to herein as "Prior Notes") for a like 
principal amount of a further tranche of Exchange Notes with the same terms 
as the Prior Notes, except that such Exchange Notes will have the Issue Date, 
Spread and Maturity Date specified below.  
	
	Each tranche of Exchange Notes shall have a Maturity Date which falls on the 
first anniversary of the Issue Date of the Exchange Notes, provided, however, 
that any Exchange Notes issued in July 2002 shall not have any provision for 
the exchange thereof for any further tranche of Exchange Notes and shall have 
a Maturity Date of July 7, 2003.
	
	The Issue Date of any tranche of Exchange Notes will be the Exchange Date for 
the Notes or the related Prior Notes.  
	
	The Spread will be minus 0.07% for the Notes, 0.00% for Exchange Notes 
issued in July 1999, plus 0.05% for Exchange Notes issued in July 2000, plus 
0.10% for Exchange Notes issued in July 2001 and plus 0.10% for Exchange 
Notes issued in July 2002.
	
	The holder may exchange Notes and any Exchange Notes, as to a Principal 
Amount of $100,000 or an integral multiple thereof, by providing instructions 
and irrevocably transferring such Notes or Exchange Notes through The 
Depository Trust Company ("DTC") for exchange for a like amount of the 
tranche of Exchange Notes for which the same are then exchangeable, during 
the period commencing on the Issue Date and ending on the 14th day prior to 
the Maturity Date of the Notes or Exchange Notes being exchanged (the 
"Exchange Period").  If the holder shall fail to provide instructions to 
exchange Notes or Exchange Notes as to any Principal Amount, as 
herein above provided, prior to the close of business in New York City on the 
last day of the applicable Exchange Period, the right of the holder to 
exchange the Notes or Exchange Notes, as the case may be, shall automatically
terminate, and the Notes or Exchange Notes, as to such Principal Amount, will
mature on the Maturity Date.
	



	The Notes to which this Pricing Supplement relates are (and any Exchange 
Notes for which they may be exchanged will be) Global Notes, as described under 
"Description of Notes-Book-Entry System" in the Prospectus Supplement, and DTC 
will be the depository for the Notes and any Exchange Notes.  As a result, 
DTC or its nominee will be the sole holder of the Notes and any Exchange 
Notes.  DTC will accept instructions to exchange Notes or Exchange Notes only
from Direct Participants shown on its books and records as the owner of such 
Notes or Exchange Notes.  Instructions by Indirect Participants or Beneficial
Owners of Notes held directly or indirectly through Direct Participants to 
exchange Notes or Exchange Notes may be transmitted to DTC only by Direct 
Participants.  In order to ensure that a Direct Participant will timely 
exercise a right to exchange a particular Note or Exchange Note, the Indirect 
Participant or Beneficial Owner of such Note must instruct the Direct 
Participant or Indirect Participant through which it holds an interest in 
such Note to exercise such right.  Firms may have different cut-off times for
accepting instructions from their customers and, accordingly, each Indirect 
Participant or Beneficial Owner should consult the Direct Participant or 
Indirect Participant through which it holds an interest in a Note in order to
ascertain the cut-off time by which such an instruction must be given 
in order for timely instructions to be delivered to DTC.  None of the Issuer, 
the Trustee or any agent of either of them will have any liability to the 
holder or to any Direct Participant, Indirect Participant or Beneficial Owner
for any delay in exercising the option to exchange a Note or Exchange Note.
	
	The Issuer makes no recommendation as to whether a holder should exchange 
the Notes for Exchange Notes.  Holders are urged to consult their own advisers 
as to the desirability of exercising their right to exchange the Notes.

Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences:

		The following is a summary of certain United States federal income tax 
consequences relevant to the ownership of the Notes as of the date hereof.  
This summary supplements the discussion set forth in the Prospectus 
Supplement under the heading "Certain United States Federal Income Tax 
Consequences -- United States Holders." 

	In general, for the reasons set out below, a United States holder of a Note 
should include stated interest in income as it is paid or accrued, in accordance
with the holder's method of tax accounting.  In addition, a United States 
holder of a Note should not recognize gain or loss prior to the redemption or
disposition of the Notes.  However, the matter is not free from doubt.  United 
States holders of the Notes should therefore consult their own tax advisors 
regarding the tax treatment of the Notes.

	






	The United States federal income tax treatment of the Notes depends upon the 
application and possible interplay of separate provisions of the Treasury 
Regulations.  The likely result is that the OID Regulations determine the tax
consequences of the ownership of the Notes without interplay of Treasury 
Regulations dealing with deemed exchanges of debt instruments.  Under the OID 
Regulations, a holder of a debt instrument (an "Exchangeable Note") with a 
maturity date that may be extended at the option of the holder will determine
the yield and the maturity of the debt instrument depending upon whether the 
option to extend is treated as exercised.  The option to extend shall be 
treated as exercised if the resulting yield on the Exchangeable Note 
would be greater than it would be if the option to extend were not exercised.  
Accordingly, under the OID Regulations the Notes would be treated as having a 
term of five years.  In addition, under the OID Regulations the interest rate
formulas on the Notes together should qualify as a single qualified floating 
rate because the values of all the interest rates on the issue date will be 
within 0.25 percentage points of each other.  As a result, under this 
approach all stated interest should be treated as qualified stated 
interest and taxable to a United States holder of a Note when accrued or 
received in accordance with the holder's method of tax accounting.  The 
manner in which premium and market discount would be calculated on the Notes 
(see the discussion set forth in the Prospectus Supplement under the heading 
"Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences -- United States 
Holders -- Premium and Market Discount") for subsequent purchasers of the 
Notes is uncertain.    

	Other characterizations are also possible. For example, the Notes could be 
treated as a series of one-year Notes.  Accordingly, prospective investors 
should consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible treatment of the
Notes as a series of one-year Notes and the possibility of gain recognition 
upon exercise of the exchange option or the possible inconsistent application
of the OID Regulations and the deemed exchange rules.
