Sales during the first quarter are anticipated to be about $900 million, down from earlier projections of between $925 million and $950 million and a far cry from the $1.92 billion in sales reported during the same quarter last year.

Corning also is embarking on a restructuring plan in an effort to return to profitability by 2003. Measures include work-force reductions, plant closures, elimination of some research and development facilities, spending cuts and potential divestitures.
