               SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION 
                         WASHINGTON, D.C.


LITIGATION RELEASE NO. 14753 / December 13, 1995

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION v. EXPRESS COMMUNICATIONS,
INC., PENDLETON C. WAUGH, AND COMMUNICATIONS MARKETING
CONSULTANTS PLUS CORP. (DEFENDANTS) AND PERSONAL COMMUNICATIONS
CORP., PCC HOLDINGS CORP., PCC MANAGEMENT CORP., AND NEXT
COMMUNICATIONS, INC. (RELIEF DEFENDANTS), Civil Action No.    
95-CV02268 (D.D.C.)
 
     The Commission today announced the filing of a civil
injunctive action against defendants Express Communications, Inc.
("Express"), Pendleton C. Waugh, and Communications Marketing
Consultants Plus Corp. ("CMC+") and relief defendants Personal
Communications Corp., PCC Holdings Corp., PCC Management Corp.,
and Next Communications, Inc.  The case was filed in the U.S.
District Court for the District of Columbia.  The Commission
alleges that Express, Waugh, and CMC+ violated Sections 5 and
17(a) of the Securities Act, Section 10(b) of the Securities
Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder in connection with the
offer and sale of interests in specialized mobile radio ("SMR")
systems and the purchase and sale of Express stock.  The
Complaint further alleges that CMC+ violated Section 15(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act in connection with these offerings.  At
all relevant times, Waugh was the president of Express and its
affiliate CMC+.  The Complaint also alleges that the relief
defendants, which were subsidiaries of Express and controlled by
Waugh, received investor funds and assets from the defendants and
hold these funds and assets in a constructive trust for the
benefit of the investors.

     The Complaint alleges that Express, Waugh, and CMC+ used
"boiler room" tactics and materially false and misleading written
offering materials in selling securities in the form of
investment contracts in Third Mobile, Ltd., and Dallas
MobileComm, L.C., two SMR communications offerings established
and promoted by Express.  For example, according to the
Complaint, the offering materials grossly understated the portion
of the offering proceeds to be used towards offering expenses. 
Actual offering expenses consumed over forty percent of the
proceeds -- two or more times the amounts disclosed to potential
investors.  The defendants also allegedly made baseless
projections of cash flow and equity value, failed to disclose
that substantial additional financing was required in order for
the companies to operate, made misleading statements concerning
the companies' purported control of existing communications
systems and FCC licenses, commingled assets of different issuers,
and misappropriated close to $2 million.  The defendants also
failed to register the securities with the Commission and falsely
represented that the investments were not securities.  In
addition, the Complaint alleges that the defendants purchased and
sold Express stock while misrepresenting the resale price to the
sellers and falsely stating to potential purchasers that the
stock would be listed on Nasdaq in the imminent future.  Finally,
the Complaint alleges that, in connection with the sale of these
investments, CMC+ failed to register as a broker-dealer, as
required under the securities laws.

     In connection with his activities at Express, Waugh has pled
guilty to charges related to money laundering, for which he has
been sentenced to twenty-one months of incarceration, three years

of supervised release, and $20,000 in fines.  He is currently
imprisoned at the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kansas. 

     Previously, the Commission filed a civil action against two
individuals who sold investments in Third Mobile on behalf of
Express. (See Litigation Release No. 14523, Securities and
Exchange Commission v. Brian Walsh and Michael McGill, Civil
Action No. 95-3698 (RSWL) (C.D.Cal.))  The defendants in that
action consented to be permanently enjoined from violating the
securities laws, and a final judgment of permanent injunction was
entered on June 7, 1995.
