1. Registration Statement No. 33-11229, filed by the Registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 8, 1987, pertaining to the registration of 2,400,000 shares of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $1 per share (“Common Stock”), issuable under the Registrant’s 1984 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “1984 Plan”); and

2. Registration Statement No. 333-45661, filed by the Registrant with the SEC on February 5, 1998, pertaining to the registration of 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock, issuable under the 1995 Incentive Stock Option Plan and 1995 Cash Performance Plan (the “1995 Plan”).

The Registrant is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statements to deregister all shares of common stock that have not been sold or otherwise issued under the 1984 Plan or 1995 Plan, as applicable.

Each of the 1984 Plan and the 1995 Plan has expired and no awards granted prior to the respective Plan’s expiration remain outstanding. In accordance with undertakings made by the Registrant in the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of post-effective amendments, any of the securities which had been registered for issuance but remain unsold at the termination of the offerings the Registrant hereby removes and withdraws from registration any and all such securities of the Registrant registered but unsold under the Registration Statements, if any. The Registration Statements are hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such securities.
