Vietnam turns over remains

Associated Press
HANOI. Vietnam — U.S. servicemen stood at atten
tion under a hot sun Wednesday and saluted as com
rades carried seven small wooden crates that Vietnam
said contain the remains of Americans killed in the war
that ended a decade ago.
A folded American flag was atop each of the crates,
which were put aboard a C-141 transport plane at Ha
noi’s Noi Bai airport for the Ilight to Honolulu. T he re
mains will be analyzed at the U.S. Joint Casually Resolu
tion Center there.
Vietnamese officials delivered the remains three days
after completion of an unprecedented joint excavation
at the spot where an American B-52 crashed during a
bombing raid over what then was North Vietnam.
In a snort, simple airport ceremony, the Vietnamese
also handed over to the U.S. military delegation
“material evidence” of 14 other American servicemen,
including identification tags.
Officials on both sides said they hoped the excavation
and return of remains marked the beginning of much
greater cooperation in accounting for tlie 1,797 Ameri
cans still listed as missing in action in Vietnam.
Ngo Hoang, a Foreign Ministry official, said the re
mains in the seven crates were found around Hanoi and
the nearby port of Haiphong.

Texaco files motion seeking reversal of $10.5 billion judgment
Associated Press
HOUSTON — A landmark
SI0.53 billion judgment against
Texaco Inc. is a product of numer
ous errors and should be reversed,
according to motions filed Wednes
day by the nation’s third-largest oil
company.
Visiting State District Judge Solo
mon CaSseb Jr. scheduled a nearing
today to decide whether to approve,
overturn or reduce a jury’s Nov. 19
ruling that Texaco used unethical
tactics to break up a merger
agreement between Getty Oil Co.
and Pennzoil Co.
Getty backed out of a preliminary
agreement to merge with Pennzoil
early last year and was bought by
Texaco for $10.1 billion.
Jurors recommended Pennzoil
should get $7.53 billion in actual
damages and $3 billion in punitive
damages, the highest civil judgment
in U.S. history.
Houston-based Pennzoil wants
Casseb to accept thejury’s decision.
But according to Texaco’s mo
tions, the verdict should be reversed
because there was no evidence that
Pennzoil and Getty had a binding
contract, that Texaco knew about
the contract or actively persuaded
Getty to break its previous contract,
or tliat Texaco acted with malice to
ward Pennzoil.
Since the jury’s verdict was an
nounced, T exaco has been li ving to
convince the public it was a victim of
injustice.
Even if judgment lot Pennzoil is
entered, Texaco attorneys have the
right to seek another jury trial and to
appeal the verdict.
But Texas law requires that it de
fendants appeal a damage
judgment, thev must post a bond m
cash or liquid assets equal to an
award, plus attorneys' lees and inter
est.
II the judge upholds the jury’s
SI0.53 billion award, the appeal
bond would total almost $12 biTiion,
a sum Texaco officials sav is beyond
the company’s ability to pay.
If the company, which hasa®
market value oi $3.6 million,W
post a $12 billion bond, Texacotd
cials said they would seekall»
able legal remedies, includingffi
ganization proceedings t*
fedet .il bankruptcy laws.
