Savings  Plan (the "Plan").  The Registrant also has merged  into

Retirement  Savings Plan.  This Registration Statement  registers

        5          Opinion  of  Bracewell  &  Patterson,   L.L.P.
                   regarding the legality of the shares of Common

      23.1         Consent  of  Bracewell  &  Patterson,   L.L.P.

Item 9.  Undertakings

     A.   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

               (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or
          sales  are  being made, a post-effective  amendment  to
          this registration statement:

                    (i)   To  include any prospectus required  by
               section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

                    (ii)   To reflect in the prospectus any facts
               or  events arising after the effective date of the
               registration  statement (or the most recent  post-
               effective  amendment thereof) which,  individually
               or  in  the  aggregate,  represent  a  fundamental
               change  in  the  information  set  forth  in   the
               registration   statement.    Notwithstanding   the
               foregoing, any increase or decrease in  volume  of
               securities offered (if the total dollar  value  of
               securities offered would not exceed that which was
               registered) and any deviation from the low or high
               end of the estimated maximum offering range may be
               reflected  in the form of a prospectus filed  with
               the  Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
               aggregate,  the  changes  in  volume   and   price
               represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum
               aggregate   offering  price  set  forth   in   the
               "Calculation  of Registration Fee"  table  in  the
               effective registration statement.

                    (iii)   To  include any material  information
               with  respect  to  the  plan of  distribution  not
               previously disclosed in the registration statement
               or  any material change to such information in the
               registration statement;

<PAGE>

          Provided,   however,  that  paragraphs  (A)(1)(i)   and
          (A)(1)(ii)  of  this  section  do  not  apply  if   the
          information required to be included in a post-effective
          amendment by those paragraphs is contained in  periodic
          reports  filed  with or furnished to the Commission  by
          the  registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d)
          of  the  Securities  Exchange Act  of  1934,  that  are
          incorporated   by   reference   in   the   registration
          statement.

               (2)   That,  for  the purpose of  determining  any
          liability  under the Securities Act of 1933, each  such
          post-effective amendment shall be deemed to  be  a  new
          registration  statement  relating  to  the   securities
          offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
          that  time shall be deemed to be the initial bona  fide
          offering thereof.

               (3)   To  remove from registration by means  of  a
          post-effective  amendment any of the  securities  being
          registered  which remain unsold at the  termination  of
          the offering.

     B.    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933,  each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant  to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act  of
1934  that  is  incorporated  by reference  in  the  registration
statement  shall  be  deemed to be a new  registration  statement
relating  to the securities offered therein, and the offering  of
such  securities at that time shall be deemed to be  the  initial
bona fide offering thereof.

     C.    Insofar  as  indemnification for  liabilities  arising
under  the  Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,
officers  and controlling persons of the registrant  pursuant  to
the  foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has  been
advised  that  in  the  opinion of the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission  such  indemnification is  against  public  policy  as
expressed  in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.   In  the
event  that  a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or
paid  by  a  director,  officer  or  controlling  person  of  the
registrant  in  the  successful defense of any  action,  suit  or
proceeding)  is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person  in  connection with the securities being registered,  the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the  matter
has  been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court  of
appropriate    jurisdiction    the    question    whether    such
indemnification  by it is against public policy as  expressed  in
the  Act  and will be governed by the final adjudication of  such
issue.

Item 9.  Undertakings

     A.   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

               (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or
          sales  are  being made, a post-effective  amendment  to
          this registration statement:

                    (i)   To  include any prospectus required  by
               section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

                    (ii)   To reflect in the prospectus any facts
               or  events arising after the effective date of the
               registration  statement (or the most recent  post-
               effective  amendment thereof) which,  individually
               or  in  the  aggregate,  represent  a  fundamental
               change  in  the  information  set  forth  in   the
               registration   statement.    Notwithstanding   the
               foregoing, any increase or decrease in  volume  of
               securities offered (if the total dollar  value  of
               securities offered would not exceed that which was
               registered) and any deviation from the low or high
               end of the estimated maximum offering range may be
               reflected  in the form of a prospectus filed  with
               the  Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the
               aggregate,  the  changes  in  volume   and   price
               represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum
               aggregate   offering  price  set  forth   in   the
               "Calculation  of Registration Fee"  table  in  the
               effective registration statement.

                    (iii)   To  include any material  information
               with  respect  to  the  plan of  distribution  not
               previously disclosed in the registration statement
               or  any material change to such information in the
               registration statement;
Provided,   however,  that  paragraphs  (A)(1)(i)   and
          (A)(1)(ii)  of  this  section  do  not  apply  if   the
          information required to be included in a post-effective
          amendment by those paragraphs is contained in  periodic
          reports  filed  with or furnished to the Commission  by
          the  registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d)
          of  the  Securities  Exchange Act  of  1934,  that  are
          incorporated   by   reference   in   the   registration
          statement.

               (2)   That,  for  the purpose of  determining  any
          liability  under the Securities Act of 1933, each  such
          post-effective amendment shall be deemed to  be  a  new
          registration  statement  relating  to  the   securities
          offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
          that  time shall be deemed to be the initial bona  fide
          offering thereof.

               (3)   To  remove from registration by means  of  a
          post-effective  amendment any of the  securities  being
          registered  which remain unsold at the  termination  of
          the offering.

     B.    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933,  each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant  to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act  of
1934  that  is  incorporated  by reference  in  the  registration
statement  shall  be  deemed to be a new  registration  statement
relating  to the securities offered therein, and the offering  of
such  securities at that time shall be deemed to be  the  initial
bona fide offering thereof.

     C.    Insofar  as  indemnification for  liabilities  arising
under  the  Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,
officers  and controlling persons of the registrant  pursuant  to
the  foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has  been
advised  that  in  the  opinion of the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission  such  indemnification is  against  public  policy  as
expressed  in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.   In  the
event  that  a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or
paid  by  a  director,  officer  or  controlling  person  of  the
registrant  in  the  successful defense of any  action,  suit  or
proceeding)  is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person  in  connection with the securities being registered,  the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the  matter
has  been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court  of
appropriate    jurisdiction    the    question    whether    such
indemnification  by it is against public policy as  expressed  in
the  Act  and will be governed by the final adjudication of  such
issue.
