Dear colleagues and friends:

I will be joining Deere & Co.'s strategic souring group in late
September.   After that, steel and related inquiries should be addressed
to Robin Adams, President - Resource Strategies.   He can be reached at
tel. (360) 321-4707 or at e-mail: Robin.Adams@rsic.com.

Personal communications should be addressed to felixbello@cs.com

Thank you.
