          SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION v. ROSAMOND S. BROWN
          Civil Action No. 94-1294 (WBB) (D.D.C.)

          The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced the
          settlement of a civil injunctive action that the Commission filed
          against Rosamond S. Brown.  The Honorable William B. Bryant,
          Senior United States District Judge, District of Columbia,
          entered a final judgment of permanent injunction and other relief
          against defendant Brown on April 6, 1998.

          In its complaint, filed June 13, 1994, the Commission alleged
          that Brown engaged in insider trading by purchasing shares of the
          common stock of MidSouth Corporation after she was tipped about
          pending merger negotiations between MidSouth and Kansas City
          Southern Industries, Inc. (See Litigation Release No. 14123).

          Brown consented, without admitting or denying the allegations in
          the Complaint, to a final judgment permanently enjoining her
          against future violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities
          Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and ordering that
          she pay the total amount of $9,431.28, consisting of $3,800 in
          disgorgement of her trading profit, prejudgment interest thereon
          of $1,831.28, and a one-time civil penalty of $3,800.

          Separately, co-defendant Julia Peck Mobley has also settled this
          case with the Commission. (See Litigation Release No. 15695,
          dated April 7, 1998).
