the outstanding shares of Kronos common stock.  Pursuant to Delaware law, Valhi

treats the shares of Valhi common stock that NL, its subsidiary and Kronos own

as treasury stock for voting purposes and for the purposes of this statement

such shares are not deemed outstanding.

Dixie Rice and Contran and chairman of the board and chief executive officer of NL.

Common Stock beneficially owned directly by NL and Kronos.



     Annette C. Simmons is the direct owner of 26,400 shares of Class A Common
