               Pursuant to Section 16.02(b)(1) of the Diamond
               Shamrock, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan I
               (the "ESOP I") and of the Diamond Shamrock, Inc.
               Employee Stock Ownership Plan II (the "ESOP II"),
               each participant in the ESOP I and ESOP II is
               entitled to instruct Society National Bank (the
               "Trustee") in the manner of voting the number of
               shares of Common Stock of the Company which have
               been allocated to the participant's account in
               each plan.  As of December 31, 1993, 1,343,368
               shares of Common Stock of the Company have been
               so allocated in ESOP I and 246,214 in ESOP II.
               Pursuant to Section 16.02(b)(2) of each plan, 
               each participant is entitled to instruct the 
               Trustee with respect to the voting of a portion 
               of the shares of Common Stock in each plan that 
               are not allocated to the account of any 
               participant and the shares of Common Stock that 
               are allocated but for which no instructions were 
               timely received by the Trustee.  The number of 
               such shares in each plan to which the 
               participant's voting directions shall apply shall 
               be based on the ratio of the number of votes 
               attributable to the shares of Common Stock
               allocated to the participant's account to the
               total number of votes attributable to the shares
               of Common Stock allocated to the accounts of all
               participants who furnish voting directions.

               Pursuant to Section 16.03 of each plan, if any
               offer (including without limitation a tender or
               exchange offer within the meaning of the
               Securities Exchange Act of 1934) for shares of
               Common Stock is received by the Trustee, each
               participant in each plan may direct the Trustee
               to tender or not tender the shares of Common
               Stock allocated to such participant's accounts
               under the plans.  In addition each participant
               may direct the Trustee to tender or not tender a
               portion of the shares of Common Stock not
               allocated to the account of any participant.  The
               number of such shares in each plan to which the
               participant's instructions regarding an offer
               shall apply shall be based on the ratio of the
               number of shares allocated to the participant's
               account to the total number of shares allocated
               to the accounts of all participants.

               Under limited circumstances such as a
               diversification election by an eligible
               participant or upon a distribution, if so
               elected, a participant may give instructions
               regarding his account in the ESOP I or the ESOP
               II which may result in the transfer of certain
               shares by the Trustee. 

Item 5         Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class.

               Not applicable

Item 6         Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of
               Another Person.

               Participants in the ESOP I and ESOP II have the
               right, pursuant to the terms of each plan, upon
               the distribution of a participant's accounts, to
               elect that distribution be made in the form of
               cash.  Pursuant to such election, a participant
               is entitled to receive the proceeds from the sale
               of shares of Common Stock in such participant's
               accounts.

Item 7         Identification and Classification of the
               Subsidiary Which Acquired the Security Being
               Reported on by the Parent Holding Company.
