               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, 1995, 1,822,383 shares of
               Common Stock of the Company have been so allocated in ESOP I and
               360,226 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.

               Not applicable
