EXPLANATORY NOTE
The registrant is filing this amendment in response to comments received from the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-4 for the exchange of the registrant's privately placed 5.15% Notes due 2018. This filing amends the registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, originally filed on March 3, 2003, as amended by the Annual Report on Form 10K/A filed on March 5, 2003, and restates Part III, Item 14 (Controls and Procedures) thereof. The registrant has not updated the disclosure in this amendment to speak as of a later date than the date of the original filing.
Item 14. Controls and Procedures
The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. There were no significant changes in internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2002 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.
