EXXON SAYS ALASKA BENEFITED FROM SPILL

Exxon Corp. said yesterday that the people and industry of Alaska had
profited from the 1989 Valdez oil spill, when millions of barrels of oil 
spewed into Prince William Sound, tarring beaches and killing wildlife.
	...
"The state of Alaska has been impacted but it's all been good," Exxon's
director of Alaskan operations Otto Harrison said at a Houston news
conference. 
	...
An Exxon spokesman [later] said that Harrison was referring only to the
economic repercussions of the spill.
