     UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

LITIGATION RELEASE NO. 14995 / July 30, 1996

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION v. ENVIROMENT HOLDINGS, INC.,
ET AL., Civil Action No. 03:95-CV-2192, USDC/ND TX [Dallas
Division]

     The Securities and Exchange Commission announced that on
July 24, 1996, in U. S. District Court for the Northern District
of Texas, a Final Judgment of  Permanent Injunction and Other
Equitable Relief was entered against Kathryn A. Previte
( Previte ). The Final Judgment permanently enjoins Previte from
future violations of Sections 5(a), 5(c), and 17(a) of the
Securities Act of 1933, and Sections 9(a) and 10(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rules 10b-5 and 10b-6
thereunder; and orders her to pay disgorgement in the amount of
$274,000, plus prejudgment interest thereon; provided however,
that all of such disgorgement and prejudgment interest be waived
based on her demonstrated financial inability to pay.  The Court
did not impose a civil penalty on Previte based on her  poor
financial condition.

     The Commission s complaint, filed on September 29, 1995, 
charged  Previte,  four other individuals, including Charles S.
Christopher, and two corporate entities, one a registered
transfer agent, with violations of the securities registration
and antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws in a
scheme to promote, distribute, and manipulate the market for the
securities of  EnvirOmint Holdings, Inc. ("EHI"), a penny stock
company.  The complaint alleged that Previte, who was
Christopher s secretary and executive assistant, assisted
Christopher and others in manipulating the market for EHI
securities by engaging in wash sales and matched orders.
