EXHIBIT 99.1
Philadelphia, May 8, 1996 - Sun Company, Inc. (NYSE: SUN) announced
that a draft disclosure as to Transok, Inc., a subsidiary of Central and
South West Corporation (CSW), was inadvertently included in its Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended March 31, 1996, filed earlier today. Although Sun
and a partner had discussions with CSW regarding the acquisition of
Transok, no agreement was reached and the parties are not currently in
discussions regarding Transok. Sun is correcting this inadvertent
disclosure by filing an amendment to the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
March 31, 1996.
