International reported that February sales of vehicles sold outside of North
America totaled 15,743 units, an 11 percent decrease over February 1997 sales

month compared to the same period one year ago.
    Latin America sales remained strong, up 55 percent from a year ago.
Venezuela leads that region with sales of 2,015 vehicles, an increase of 97
percent compared to the same period a year ago.  All major markets in Latin
America are reporting double-digit growth in 1998.

percent compared to 35,098 vehicles a year ago.
