THE LEDGER-STAR

• NORFOLK-BASED FORMS COMPANY SOLD
• CORRECTION/CLARIFICATION: ***************************************************************** Correction If Norfolk Southern Corp. is able to buy Conrail Inc., Standard & Poor's said that ``the current $10 billion level of Norfolk Southern's debt financed bid increases the chance of a noninvestment grade rating for a combined Norfolk Southern-Conrail entity.'' In a Feb. 5 story about Moody's Investor Service and S&P downgrading Norfolk Southern's long-term debt, the likelihood of such a rating was misrepresented. The former grade of Norfolk Southern's debt also was not ``top'' as the story indicated, but the debt was graded double-A, or just under the top rating. It still maintains the highest debt rating in the railroad industry. Correction published , Friday, February 7, 1997, Business section, p.D3 ***************************************************************** NORFOLK SOUTHERN LOSES TOP DEBT RATING A LOWER MOODY'S RATING WILL AFFECT NEW LONG-TERM DEBT.
