     ITEM 9.  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON
              ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

          On recommendation of its Audit/Examining Committee, at its board
     meeting held on March 14, 1995, the Board of Directors of TCTC engaged the
     firm of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP ("KPMG") as its independent auditors for the
     year ending December 31, 1995 to replace the firm of Ernst & Young LLP
     ("E&Y"), who were dismissed as auditors of TCTC effective upon the filing
     by TCTC of its Annual Report on Form F-2 with the FDIC on March 30, 1995.

          The reports of E&Y on TCTC's financial statements for the years ended
     December 31, 1994 and 1993 did not contain an adverse opinion or a
     disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to
     uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

          During each of the two years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 and the
     subsequent interim period ending at the date of dismissal of E&Y, there
     were no disagreements with E&Y on any matters of accounting principles or
     practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope and procedures
     which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of E&Y, would have caused E&Y to
     make reference to the matter in their reports.

          During each of the two years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 and the
     subsequent interim period ending at the date of dismissal of E&Y, there
     were no "reportable events" as defined under Item 304(a)(1)(v) of
     Regulation S-K.

               The Company has requested that E&Y furnish it with a letter
     addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission")
     stating whether it agrees with the above statements.  A copy of E&Y's
     letter to the Commission is filed as Exhibit 16 to this report.

     Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its
