ITEM 5:   OTHER EVENTS

     On October  26, 1994,  Geodyne Resources, Inc.  ("Resources") and
the Registrants  (the "Partnerships") among other  parties, were named
as  defendants in a lawsuit alleging  causes of action based on fraud,
negligent  misrepresentation,  breach  of fiduciary  duty,  breach  of
implied  covenant, and breach of contract in connection with the offer
and  sale of units  in the Partnerships.   (Sidney Neidick,  et al. v.
Geodyne  Resources, Inc., et al, Case No. 94-052860, District Court of
Harris  County, Texas.)    The plaintiffs'  petition alleged  that the
lawsuit was being brought as a class action on behalf of the investors
who purchased units in  the Partnerships.  On June  7, 1995, Resources
and the Partnerships were dismissed without prejudice as defendants in
the matter.  In addition, on June 7, 1995, the matter was certified as
a class action.   A class action notice was mailed on  June 7, 1995 to
all limited partners in the Partnerships who are members of the class.
PaineWebber  Incorporated  ("PaineWebber")  has  agreed  to  indemnify
Resources and the  Partnerships and their  affiliates with respect  to
all claims asserted by  the plaintiffs in the lawsuit pursuant to that
certain  Indemnification  Agreement dated  November  24,  1992 by  and
between  PaineWebber  and Samson  Investment  Company,  the parent  of
Resources (the "Indemnification Agreement")  in the event Resources or
the Partnerships  are rejoined in the matter  at a latter time.   As a
result  of  both  the  dismissal and  the  Indemnification  Agreement,
management does  not believe that either the Partnerships or Resources
will be required to pay any damages or expenses in this matter.

     On November 23 and 25, 1994, Resources, PaineWebber,  and certain
other parties  were  named  as  defendants  in  two  related  lawsuits
alleging  misrepresentations  made   to  induce  investments   in  the
Partnerships and asserting causes  of action for common law  fraud and
deceit  and unjust enrichment (Romine v. PaineWebber, Inc. et al, Case
No. 94-CIV-8558, U.S.  District Court, Southern  District of New  York
and  Romine v. PaineWebber, Inc.,  et al, Case  No. 94-132844, Supreme
Court of  the State  of New York,  County of New  York).   The federal
court case was later consolidated with other similar actions (to which
Resources is not a  party) under the title In Re:  PaineWebber Limited
Partnerships Litigation and was certified as a class action on May 30,
1995  (the PaineWebber  Partnership Class  Action").   A  class action
notice was mailed on June  7, 1995 to all  members of the class.   The
PaineWebber  Partnership Class  Action also  alleges violations  of 18
U.S.C.  Section 1962(c)  and  the  Securities  Exchange Act  of  1934.
Compensatory  and  punitive damages,  interest,  and  costs have  been
requested  in  both matters.    PaineWebber  has agreed  to  indemnify
Resources  with respect to all claims asserted by the plaintiff in the
lawsuits  pursuant  to the  Indemnification  Agreement.   The  amended
complaint  in  the  PaineWebber  Partnership Class  Action  no  longer
asserts any claim  directly against  Resources.   As a  result of  the
Indemnification Agreement, Resources does not  believe that it will be
required to pay any damages or expenses in this matter.

     On  January   18,  1996,  PaineWebber  issued   a  press  release
indicating that it had reached an agreement to settle both the pending
PaineWebber Partnership Class Action matter referred  to above and the
Neidick matter referred  to above,  along with a  settlement with  the
Securities and  Exchange Commission  (the "SEC") and  an agreement  to
settle with various  state securities regulators.   The press  release
issued by  PaineWebber, a copy  of which is  filed as Exhibit  99.1 to
this  Form  8-K, indicates  that the  parties have  agreed to  a class
action settlement of $125 million and other non-cash consideration;  a
SEC administrative order creating  a capped $40 million fund;  a civil


                                         -2-

penalty of $5 million leveled by the SEC; and payments  aggregating $5
million  to  state  securities  administrators.   The  dollar  amounts
referred to in  the press release apply  to both the  Partnerships and
other direct investment programs sold by  PaineWebber.  As of the date
of  this  Form 8-K,  PaineWebber has  not  informed management  of the
Partnerships  of  the  portion  of  such  settlement   that  would  be
applicable to the Partnerships.   Details of PaineWebber's settlement,
as applicable  to the  Partnerships, will  be  supplemented in  future
filings made by the Partnerships with the SEC.

               PAINEWEBBER ANNOUNCES FINAL RESOLUTION OF
                      LIMITED PARTNERSHIP ISSUES

     NEW YORK, January 18, 1996 -- Paine Webber Group Inc. (NYSE: PWJ)
today  announced  a  series  of  actions that,  taken  together,  will
constitute a final and comprehensive resolution of the  issues related
to the firm's sale  of public proprietary limited partnerships  in the
1980s and early 1990s.  Those actions include:

*    An agreement to settle all pending class actions;
*    A settlement  with the Securities and  Exchange Commission (SEC);
     and
*    An agreement to settle with the various state regulators.

Terms of the Settlements
- ------------------------

     The agreements announced today  include a class action settlement
of   $125   million  and   other   non-cash   consideration;  an   SEC
administrative  order  creating a  capped  $40 million  fund;  a civil
penalty of $5 million  levied by the SEC; and  payments aggregating $5
million to state securities  administrators.  In addition, PaineWebber
has  paid claims that approximate  $120 million over  the past several
years  primarily  through   the  firm's  pre-existing   Early  Dispute
Resolution  processes,  with  commitments   to  pay  $7.5  million  of
additional   investor  claims,   all   as  reflected   in  the   SEC's
administrative order.
     PaineWebber's previously-announced pre-tax charge of $200 million
in the  second quarter of 1995  will cover the costs  of resolving all
these  limited  partnership  claims,  with the  exception  of  certain
administrative   expenses  related   to  the  settlements   and  their
implementation.  PaineWebber will  take a fourth quarter  1995 pre-tax
charge  of  $30  million to  cover  these  additional  expenses.   The
difference between the $230  million in pre-tax charges and  the total
sums  1) paid or to be paid  to settle client claims ($292.5 million);
2) to be  paid to the SEC and various  state regulators ($10 million);
and 3) reserves for administrative expenses ($30 million), principally
represents monies already  paid in  prior periods to  clients and  for
related expenses.

     In a  separate release,  issued today, PaineWebber  announced its
financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 1995.
     As part  of  the  SEC  settlement,  PaineWebber  will  retain  an
independent consultant  to review  the firm's policies  and procedures
concerning retail brokerage operations  and the dissemination of sales
and marketing  materials.   In  addition, a  committee of  PaineWebber
Incorporated's Board of Directors will oversee policies related to the
firm's  compliance  efforts, and  monitor  the  implementation of  any
recommendations by the consultant.

Resolution of Limited Partnership Issues
- ----------------------------------------
     Announcing  the comprehensive  resolution of  limited partnership
issues, PaineWebber Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Donald Marron
commented:

     "In  addressing  this  matter   over  the  past  few  years,
     culminating  in  our  announcement  today,  we  pursued  two
     overriding objectives -- first, to resolve the issues raised
     by  clients and  regulators  responsibly and  cooperatively;
     and,  second, to do everything we can to ensure that similar
     issues  do not recur.   We have  now achieved  both of these
     objectives, fulfilled  our commitments  to clients,  and put
     this matter behind us.

     "We  accept  our  full   share  of  responsibility  for  the
     situation that  arose  in connection  with  certain  limited
     partnerships  sold  in the  1980s  and early  1990s,  and we
     deeply regret the deficiencies  in certain past practices --
     as well as  the unauthorized and unacceptable behavior  of a
     small number of employees -- that led to these issues."

     The company said, starting  in the early 1990s, it  had developed
advanced  compliance  and oversight  practices,  in  order to  enhance
safeguards for its  clients.   Among the many  changes instituted,  in
this  regard, have been the enhancement of an Early Dispute Resolution
process  for  the  prompt and  fair  resolution  of legitimate  client
concerns; the  adoption  of  new  guidelines for  the  management  and
supervision  of  the  firm's   retail  network;  the  development  and
implementation of the Trade  Monitoring System, which rapidly analyzes
trading  data   and  provides   Branch  Managers  with   an  effective
supervisory  tool;  increased  legal   and  compliance  staffing;  and
modified  compensation   practices  to  reinforce   the  alignment  of
interests between  the firm's  Investment Executives and  its clients.
These efforts demonstrate the firm's commitment to industry leadership
on compliance issues.
     "With  these partnership  issues  now behind  us, and  our strong
operating  performance discussed in  our earnings release,  we look to
the future with  great confidence in the  prospects for this firm  and
its people," Mr. Marron concluded.
