Item 3.

Item 3. - Legal Proceedings. - ------- ------------------
During 1989, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) completed an examination of the registrant's employment tax returns for the years 1985 and 1986 proposing changes in classification of certain drivers at RPS and subjecting the registrant to payment of approximately $5 million of certain employment taxes for those years. The registrant paid the amounts claimed although it disagreed with the IRS position both as to liability for and amounts of taxes claimed. Suit was filed in the United States Court of Claims to recover the amounts paid. In 1992, the IRS completed its examination of the registrant's 1987 through 1989 employment tax returns and proposed additional employment taxes of approximately $27 million. The registrant estimates that the total potential liability could have been as much as $119 million through 1993 on the same basis as adjustments proposed for years 1985 through 1989.
The registrant has reached agreement with the IRS and the Department of Justice in full settlement of all assessed, asserted or potential employment tax deficiencies and interest related to this matter through 1993. The net after-tax cost of the settlement amounted to $13.7 million or $.35 per share and is included in the 1994 statement of consolidated income.
As an incident of the settlement, the IRS provided a letter of assurance that states that operations conducted in accordance with the terms of an arrangement described therein would not be inconsistent with an independent contractor relationship within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code. Since January 1, 1994, RPS has executed revised agreements with its pickup and delivery owner-operators that coincide with the terms described in the letter of assurance.
Various other legal proceedings arising from the normal conduct of business are pending but, in the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will have no material effect on the financial condition of the registrant.
