Correction: 04/30/96 issue

An April 30 article,"Wells Fargo Deal to Cause Fewer Branch Closings Than Originally Expected," on page 6, erred in reporting the savings that Wells Fargo & Co. expects from its merger with First Interstate Bancorp. The bank says it expects annual savings of $800 million, in line with initial projections.

Due to a production error, the article also incorrectly stated the revised number of announced branch closings in California. The correct number is 261. That is 28 fewer than originally anticipated.
