SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
Washington, D.C.

SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
RELEASE NO. 37166 / May 3, 1996

The Securities and Exchange commission announced, pursuant to
Section 12(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange
Act), the temporary suspension of over-the-counter trading of the
securities of Lanstar Semiconductor, Inc. for a ten day period
commencing at 9:30 a.m. (EDT), May 6, 1996, and terminating at
11:59 p.m. (EDT) on May 17, 1996.

The Commission temporarily suspended trading in the securities of
Lanstar Semiconductor, Inc. in view of questions that have been
raised concerning the adequacy and accuracy of publicly
disseminated information concerning, among other things, unusual
market activity and the tradeability of shares.

The Commission cautions broker-dealers, shareholders, and
prospective purchasers that they should carefully consider the
foregoing information along with all other currently available
information and any information subsequently issued by Lanstar
Semiconductor, Inc.

Further, brokers and dealers should be alert to the fact that,
pursuant to Rule 15c2-11 under the Exchange Act, at the
termination of the trading suspension, no quotation may be
entered unless and until they have strictly complied with all of
the provisions of the Rule.  If any broker or dealer has any
questions as to whether or not it has complied with the Rule, it
should not enter any quotations, but should immediately contact
the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission in Denver,
Colorado.  If any broker or dealer is uncertain as to what is
required by Rule 15c2-11, it should refrain from entering
quotations relating to the securities of Lanstar Semiconductor,
Inc. until such time as it has familiarized itself with the Rule
and is certain that all of its provisions have been met.  If any
broker or dealer enters any quotation which is in violation of
the Rule, the Commission will consider the need for prompt
enforcement action.

Any broker or dealer or other person that has information which
may relate to this matter should call the Central Regional Office
of the Securities and Exchange Commission at (303) 391-6800.
