He said only that negotiations are under way with a company that could become a major Utah employer. The Tribune identified the company as Intel, based in Santa Clara, Calif. The company which had $20.8 billion in sales in 1996 once before considered Utah a possible site for either a fabrication plant or a marketing- and product-support operation. In July 1995, Intel spokesman Howard High said Utah would be on the company's "short list" for expansion if it decided to grow beyond the states where it already had a major presence. Intel does have a small presence in Utah now with about 400 employees in American Fork and Salt Lake City. Vincent Glinski. an analyst with Rodman & Renshaw in New York City, said Intel typically seeks sites In March they are meeting in Las Cruces, N.M.

Utah more or less fits Intel's criteria, added Stephen Dube, an analyst with Wasserstein Perella Securities in New York City. Dube had not heard Intel is considering consid-ering Utah as a site for expansion. Still, he added, "The company is constantly in need of new facilities. It has run out of some of its more traditional spots." Intel has fabrication fabrica-tion plants in California, Oregon, New Mexico and Arizona as well as overseas, Waldrop said. It is building build-ing a new $1.3 billion facility in Texas, which is scheduled to open in 1999.
