Gulf and ARCO deny
rumors of a merger

PITTSBURGH — Gulf Oil
Corp. and Atlantic Richfield
Co. Tuesday sharply denied a
published report they planned
an $11 billion merger that
would be the biggest takeover in
U.S. corporate history.
“No offer of a business com
bination with ARCO has been
received or sought by Gulf nor
would one be welcome,” Pitts
burgh-based Gulf, the nation’s
fifth largest oil firm, said in a
statement.
Robert O. Anderson, chair
man of eighth-ranked ARCO,
said he met recently with Gulf
Chairman James Lee but “had
not made an offer to purchase
the shares or assets of Gulf.”
The two firms were respond
ing to a New York Times re
port, attributed to Wall Street
eging Los Angeles-
^O offered to buy
sources, alle*
based ARC<
Gulf but was rebuffed.
The report came as Gulf
fights its largest shareholder,
Texas oilman T. Boone Pick
ens, who it has accused of engi
neering an unfriendly takeover
and starting Wall Street talk of
an ARCO deal.
“The spreading of rumor... is
but one more demonstration of
the stock manipulation that has
been going on,” Gulf said.
Gulf has filed suit and is seek
ing a temporary court order
against Pickens, chairman of
Mesa Petroleum Co. of Am
arillo, Texas, alleging he ma
nipulated the stock market to
further his takeover ambitions.
U.S. District Court Judge
Walter K. Stapleton in Wil
mington, Del., said he would
rule on the request Tuesday.
ARCO Chairman Anderson
said he had met separately with
Pickens “to assess the Gulf situa
tion” but denied “lending any
money to the Boone Pickens
group for its use in a takeover
battle with Gulf.”
An ARCO spokesman re
fused to say whether the firm
volunteered to step in as a
“white knight” should Pickens
launch a takeover attempt.
Pickens said the Gull suit “is
without merit” and said it was
“unfortunate that shareholders’
money is being used to sue
shareholders.”
Gulf and Pickens waged one
of the biggest proxy fights in
U.S. corporate history last fall
in a battle over how Gulf, con
sidered the weakest of the so-
called Seven Sisters oil compa
nies, should be run.
Congressmen soliciting
for nerve gas programs
United Press International
DINE-IN TAKE-OUT
PINE BLUFF, Ark. — Two
members of the House Appro
priations Committee Tuesday
urged support of construction
E rograms that eventually could
:ad to the production of binary
nerve gas to replace existing
chemical weapons.
Reps. W.G. “Bill” Hefner, D-
N.C., and Beryl Anthony Jr., D-
Ark., toured the Pine Bluff Ar
senal, the proposed sit<j for pro
duction of binary nerve gas
weapons. They both said oppo
sition to the nerve gas program,
rejected several times in Con
gress, stemmed from misunder
standings and emotional issues.
The congressmen toured the
work site of a $27 million fa
cility, to be completed by early
next year, that could manufac
ture nerve gas components for
artillery shells. The second
phase of the project would
manufacture components for
the Bigeye Bomb, which also
would be a binary nerve gas
weapon. Part of the funding for
the second phase is being
sought in this year’s military
budget.
Anthony said the proposed
$105 million appropriation for
the nerve gas program for 1985
did not include money for ac
tual production of the gas. He
said the money only is for build
ing the facilities to build compo
nents for the weapons, and ac-

tual production of the gas could
not begin for at least two years.
In any case, Anthony said,
the binary nerve gas weapons
would not be completely assem
bled at the Pine Bluff Arsenal.
He said only one component of
the gas would be placed in the
weapons, and the second com
ponent would be combined in a
battlefield situation.
Hefner said he supported
construction of the facilities. He
said the United States should
match the Soviet Union in pro
duction of nerve gas whether it
liked it or not.
Hefner described the binary
nerve gas system as “the safest
way to go if we’re going to have
gas.”
Hefner is chairman of the
Appropriation Committee’s
Military Construction Subcom
mittee, which has jurisdiction
over nerve gas production. An
thony said other members of
Congress have rejected the pro
gram because of misunder
standings about it.
Rep. Ed Bethune, R-Ark.,
and Sen. David Pryor, D-Ark.,
have led efforts to stop appro
val of funds for renewed nerve
gas production.
Anthony said supporters of
the program had agreed to de
stroy two nerve gas bombs from
the present stockpiles for every
new binary weapon produced.
He also said nerve gas produc
tion was justified because the
Soviet Union was continuing to
produce the weapons.
He said nerve gas weapons
I would be an effective deterrent.
I “As long as we have a chemi
cal deterrent, it lowers the
: threshold to use nuclear weap-
1 ons in the field,” Anthony said.
