EXHIBIT 20.1

                                                     Subsidiary Guarantees of Debt

The company's Senior Notes, Senior Subordinated Notes and senior credit facilities are guaranteed on a full,
unconditional and joint and several basis by certain of the company's wholly owned domestic subsidiaries. The following
is condensed, consolidating financial information for the company, segregating the guarantor subsidiaries and non-guarantor
subsidiaries, as of March 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002 (in millions of dollars). The presentation of certain prior-year
amounts has been changed in order to conform to the current-year presentation. Separate financial statements for the guarantor
subsidiaries and the non-guarantor subsidiaries are not presented because management has determined that such financial
statements would not be material to investors.
