    The new Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders lists a Sanford
    C. Bernstein & Co., Inc. as owning 5% of DEC stock.
    
    Is this just some mutual fund or is someone making a move on us?
    
    Inquiring stockholders want to know.

| 1212.1 | little need for concern | CHEFS::EASTERBROOK | Me,Myself,I | Tue Oct 02 1990 12:33 | 3 | 
|     As I understand it S.C.Bernstein are a stockbroker and a major dealer
    in DEC stock, my guess is that they are simply holding 5% until they
    are bought.

|     Sanford C. Bernstein & Co., Inc. is an institutional money manager for 
    several hundred clients, mostly pension funds and the like.  Their
    investment in DEC is just an example of their "value-investing" 
    philosophy not working out.  They have record losses in their clients'
    portfolios this year, in part because Bernstein was a heavy buyer of
    DEC stock in late 1987 and 1988.  Just hope they don't decide to dump it
    all now.  No takeover threat - just bad decisions on the part of their
    investment managers.  There clients are reportedly not too happy with
    Sanford C. Bernstein today.

| 1212.4 | making a very long, slow move on us? | DEC25::BRUNO | SOCK-RA-TEASE | Tue Oct 02 1990 20:30 | 4 | 
|          Sounds like the same 5% mentioned back in 1037.10.  I thought that
    hubbub had died down.
