Where else but BrazosBanc.
BrazosBanc has been the mortgage lending leader in Central Texas since 1919. No one
offers more products (fixed rates, buy downs, ARMs, etc.). No one offers more terms (as
few as 15 and as many as 30 years to repay). And no one has better rates (shop rates
before you commit. Ask about application fees and commitment policy. BrazosBanc
has no application fee. Our commitment policy is very beneficial: we’ll never charge a
rate higher than your 45 day commitment. If the market falls during the paperwork
period, we’ll charge you less.)
No one says “Yes” in less time. BrazosBanc usually can approve a loan and issue a
commitment in two weeks. Some institutions take months.

Official doubts
U.S. defense
to terrorism
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The head of
the Reagan administration’s civil de
fense program, calling U.S. territory
“extremely vulnerable” to terrorism,
said Tuesday he lacks confidence in
the nation’s ability to stop deadly at
tacks by groups using chemical and
germ weapons.
“We cannot, and should not,
count on the current, essentially un
coordinated, terror methodology in
the United States continuing indefi
nitely into the future,” said Louis O.
Giuffrida, director of the Federal
Emergency Management Agency.
“Realistically, the United States is
extremely vulnerable to the conven
tional weapons and tactics of terror
ism,” he added.
Giuffrida gave the assessment in a
report to a long-scheduled, two-day
terrorism conference.
Most of the discussion at the ter
rorism conference, sponsored by the
Nuclear Control Institute and the
State University of New York’s ter
rorism studies program, focused on
the possibility that radical groups
could steal or make an atomic bomb
and use it to force outrageous con
cessions from governments.

Move is beneficial to IBM
MCI to buy rival network
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — MCI Com
munications Corp. said Tuesday it
agreed to acquire Satellite Business
Systems, a rival long-distance tele
phone network principally owned by
International Business Machines
Corp., in a transaction that would
make IBM the largest stockholder in
MCI.
IBM currently owns 60 percent of
Satellite Business Systems, while the
other 40 percent is owned by Aetna
Life & Casualty Co.
SBS originally was founded by
IBM, Aetna and Communications
Satellite Corp., or Comsat. But last
summer Comsat sold its stake to
IBM.
As a first step toward selling SBS
to MCI, IBM and Aetna said they
reached a separate agreement in
E rinciple for IBM to take over SBS
y making unspecified “cash pay
ments and other considerations” to
Aetna.
Aetna also “could receive a future
payment from IBM depending on
the market value of MCI stock at the
time the merger is concluded,” the
companies said.
MCI, in exchange for acouiring
substantially all SBS assets and oper
ations, would issue to IBM 45 mil
lion shares of MCI common stock,
and warrants for the purchase of
additional 7 million shares of MCI
common stock at $ 15 per share,
also agreed to hold the shares fora
minimum of three years.
MCI currently has about 23/5
million common shares outstanding.
Assuming conversion of the war
rants, IBM would hold a 22 percem
interest in MCI.

tally ludicrous.”
He said even the environment of
the building is controlled; the heat is
turned up if the building is hot or is
cooled if the building is cold.
“Remember that the key to ma
naging a special threat situation is
controlling what the individual sees,
hears and smells,” Dalager said.
Dalager said that a violent solu
tion to a situation is used only as a
last resort.
“The idea is to resolve a very vio
lent situation in a non-violent way
through communication . . . We^
don’t shoot anybody in one of these
situations unless he starts shooting
people,” he said.
Dalager said the procedures and
tactics illustrated in the program are
useful in terrorist threats and situa
tions involving criminals.
“It doesn’t make any difference to
us whether it’s a terrorist or a crimi
nal, we handle them the same,” he
said.
He said that in terrorist situations,
only the negotiation techniques are
different.
“Our chances of getting him (the
criminal) out without anybody get
ting hurt if we properly handle the
situation is 99.9 percent,” Dalam
said. “The chances of negotialinf
without violence with a terroristisal
most zero.”
An example of this is the June H
hijacking of TWA Flight 847 when
terrorists killed a U.S. Navy man.
Dalager said the hostage crisis tt
lowing the hijacking can only be re
solved by careful negotiations.
“I think time is on our side in Lei-
anon if we just keep our cool and
don’t wave the sword around too
much,” he said.
“Anybody that would try any mili
tary force in Lebanon needs to have
their head examined,” he said.
