On March 2nd a new policy was
placed on the pipe line.
I myself do not know what to make
of it just yet, but if anyone would
care to take a gander so that I and
others may understand, please do.

The information was posted under
new policies.
The printed form reads as follows:

WAL*MART STORES, INC.
ATTENTION: Ethics Office

I __(name)__, work for Wal-Mart
in___(department name &
number)__
as__(title, posistion and a general
description of duties)__.
I currently own __(number)__
shares of __(name of
competitior)__ stock
with a market value of __(dollar
amount)__ as of __(date)__.

I understand that this information
will not be placed in my personnal
file and that it will remain
confidential. I also understand that
the Ethics Office will determine
whether or not this amount is
"Substantial" and will provide
direction to me based on this
information.

__(Associate's Signiture)__
__(Social Security Number)__
_(Date)__

There are two printed copies on
the same sheet of paper, as if you
sign one for them and then sign
and keep one for yourself.

ANYONE think they can explain
this notice? And what do you
think the word "Substantial" with
the quotation marks on the notice
itself...mean??
