  In this paper, we examine the mean field electronic structure of the
$f^1-f^2$ Anderson lattice model in a slave boson approximation, which should
be useful in understanding the physics of correlated metals with more than one
f electron per site such as uranium-based heavy fermion superconductors. We
find that the multiplet structure of the $f^2$ ion acts to quench the crystal
field splitting in the quasiparticle electronic structure. This is consistent
with experimental observations in such metals as $UPt_3$.
