                     SIMPSON INVESTMENT COMPANY

          This partnership began on February 29, 1968 as a limited 
partnership.  The limited partnership was dissolved on December 28, 1988 and 
the partnership continued as a general partnership.  The dissolution was 
done to avoid a newly enacted tax imposed on limited partnerships by the 
State of California.  The partners now desire to amend and clarify the terms 
and provisions of their partnership agreement and to reduce their agreement 
to writing.
