     You should read this prospectus supplement together with the prospectus

supplement.

     The table below sets forth additional and updated information concerning
beneficial ownership of the debentures, and supplements and, to the extent
inconsistent with, amends the table appearing under the caption "Selling
Securityholders" beginning on page 35 of the prospectus. To the extent that a
selling securityholder is listed both in the table below and in the table
appearing in the prospectus, the information set forth below regarding that
selling securityholder supercedes the information set forth in the prospectus.
In addition, the information set forth below regarding all other holders of
debentures or future transferees, pledgees, donees, assignees or successors of
any holders supercedes the information regarding such other holders appearing
on page 37 of the prospectus. We have prepared this table based on information
given to us by the selling securityholders listed below prior to the date
hereof.

* Less than one percent (1%)

(1)  Assumes conversion of all of the holder's debentures at a conversion rate
     of 9.5111 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount at maturity
     of the debentures. This conversion rate is subject to adjustment, however,
     as described under "Description of Debentures--Conversion
     Rights--Adjustments to Conversion Rate" beginning on page 22 of the
     prospectus. As a result, the number of shares of common stock issuable
     upon conversion of the debentures may increase or decrease in the future.





(2)  Calculated based on Rule 13d-3(d)(i) of the Exchange Act using 481,958,088
     shares of common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2001. In
     calculating this amount, we treated as outstanding the number of shares of
     common stock issuable upon conversion of all of that particular holder's
     debentures. However, we did not assume the conversion of any other
     holder's debentures.

(3)  Information concerning other selling holders of debentures or underlying
     common stock will be set forth in prospectus supplements from time to
     time, if required.

(4)  Assumes that any other holders of debentures, or any future transferees,
     pledgees, donees or successors of or from any such other holders of
     debentures do not beneficially own any common stock other than the common
     stock issuable upon conversion of the debentures at the initial conversion
     rate.

                            -----------------------

     You should carefully consider the matters discussed under the caption
"Risk Factors" starting on page 11 of the Prospectus.
