/1/ The remainder of this cover page shall be filled out for a reporting
person's initial filing on this form with respect to the subject class of
securities, and for any subsequent amendment containing information which would
alter the disclosures provided in a prior cover page.
The information required on the remainder of this cover page shall not be deemed

1934 ("Act") or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section of the Act
but shall be subject to all other provisions of the Act (however, see the

Moody's Corporation (f.k.a. The Dun & Bradstreet Corporation) as the subject
company. This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13G is being filed on July 11, 2001
solely to reflect The Dun & Bradstreet Corporation (f.k.a. The New D&B
