An error was made in the initial conditions for the recursion relations for the amplitudes AL�sn ��; j�f � presented in

Sec. VII. The result is that the lower limit in the sum for the quantityQ�0 in Eq. (7.11) should be l � 2, not l � 3. The same

replacement should be made in Eq. (7.14). The verification of the recursion relation for AL�sn ��; j�f � is unaltered, except

that in the text four lines below Eq. (7.18), the single sum over l for Q̂�0 now contains �n� 3� terms, not �n� 4�.

Because of this error, in Sec. VIII four equations for the � �qqg amplitudes need to be corrected:

The s12=�2s23� terms in Eq. (8.27) now cancel similar terms in V1 and V2 in Eqs. (8.23) and (8.24). Finally, in the text belowEq. (8.20), the R type amplitude does not vanish, but is given by
