                                                         98     01/22/98
Pre-General (1998 Activity)......     01/14/98   \4\ 01/20/             
                                                         98     01/22/98
Post-General.....................     02/23/98     03/05/98     03/05/98
------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The period begins with the close of books of the last report filed  
  by the committee. If the committee has filed no previous reports, the 
  period begins with the date of the committee's first activity.        
\2\ Reports sent by registered or certified mail must be postmarked by  
  the mailing date; otherwise, they must be received by the filing date.
\3\ Because reports should not include activity for more than one       
  calendar year, committees should file the Pre-General Report on two   
  forms. One form should cover 7/1/97-12/31/97 and be labeled ``Year-End
  Report.'' The other form should cover 1/1/98-1/14/98 and be labeled   
  ``Pre-General Report.'' The filing of two forms satisfies both Pre-   
  General and Year-End filing requirements.                             
\4\ The mailing date has been adjusted because the computed mail date   
  would have fallen on a federal holiday.                               


    Dated: January 9, 1998.
