As such, FMR Corp.'s beneficial ownership may include shares

Members of the Edward C. Johnson 3d family are the predominant
owners of Class B shares of common stock of FMR Corp., representing
approximately 49% of the voting power of FMR Corp. Mr. Johnson 3d owns
12.0% and Abigail Johnson owns 24.5% of the aggregate outstanding
voting stock of FMR Corp. Mr. Johnson 3d is Chairman of FMR Corp. and
Abigail P. Johnson is a Director of FMR Corp. The Johnson family group
and all other Class B shareholders have entered into a shareholders'
voting agreement under which all Class B shares will be voted in
accordance with the majority vote of Class B shares. Accordingly,
through their ownership of voting common stock and the execution of the
shareholders' voting agreement, members of the Johnson family may be
deemed, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, to form a controlling
group with respect to FMR Corp.

the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act") and that they are
not otherwise required to attribute to each other the "beneficial
ownership" of securities "beneficially owned" by the other corporation
within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act.
Therefore, they are of the view that the shares held by the other
corporation need not be aggregated for purposes of Section 13(d).
However, FMR Corp. is making this filing on a voluntary basis as if all
of the shares are beneficially owned by FMR Corp. and Fidelity
International Limited on a joint basis.
EXHIBIT to SCHEDULE 13G - TO BE INCLUDED IN STATEMENTS
FILED PURSUANT TO RULE 13d-1(c)
Pursuant to instructions in Item 7 of Schedule 13G, this Exhibit
has been prepared to identify Fidelity International Limited, Pembroke
Hall, 42 Crow Lane, Hamilton, Bermuda, a Bermudan joint stock company
incorporated for an unlimited duration by private act of the Bermuda
Legislature (FIL) and an investment adviser to various investment
companies (the "International Funds") and certain institutional
investors, as a beneficial owner of the 527,100 shares or 1.04% of the
Class B Common Stock outstanding of Continental Airlines Inc..
Prior to June 30, 1980, FIL was a majority-owned subsidiary of

subsidiary of FMR Corp. On that date, the shares of FIL held by
Fidelity were distributed, as a dividend, to the shareholders of FMR
Corp. FIL currently operates as an entity independent of FMR Corp. and
Fidelity. The International Funds and FIL's other clients, with the
exception of Fidelity and an affiliated company of Fidelity, are non-
U.S. entities.

his family owns shares of FIL voting stock with the right to cast
approximately 39.89% of the total votes which may be cast by all
holders of FIL voting stock. Mr. Johnson 3d is Chairman of FMR Corp.
and FIL. FMR Corp. and FIL are separate and independent corporate
entities, and their Boards of Directors are generally composed of
different individuals. Other than when one serves as a sub adviser to
the other, their investment decisions are made independently, and their
clients are generally different organizations.
FMR Corp. and Fidelity International Limited are of the view that
they are not acting as a "group" for purposes of Section 13(d) under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act") and that they are
not otherwise required to attribute to each other the "beneficial
ownership" of securities "beneficially owned" by the other corporation
within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act.
Therefore, they are of the view that the shares held by the other
corporation need not be aggregated for purposes of Section 13(d).
However, FMR Corp. is making this filing on a voluntary basis as if all
of the shares are beneficially owned by FMR Corp. and Fidelity
International Limited on a joint basis.
FIL has sole dispositive power over 527,100 shares owned by the
International Funds. FIL has sole power to vote or direct the voting of
527,100 shares of Class B Common Stock held by the International Funds
