United Technologies Chairman Harry J. Gray said his offer is de- signed to resolve "an obviously difficult situation which has resulted" from the Marietta-Bendi- x squabble and "will enable United Technologies to further broaden its participation in the automotive, electronics and industrial markets." But United Technologies gave itself some potential excuses which Bendix could use to repel the takeover attempt to back out of its offer. The offer, it said, is conditioned on termination by Bendix of its offer for Marietta without having purchased any shares and on Bendix not adopting certain amendments to its charter that Bendix directors have proposed to protect against a takeover. "It's important the board sets Superintendent Max Welcker, but I didn't even know that until recently," says Walker. "I'm also some kind of a cousin to former Superintendent Dan Peterson but that's only through a policy that's clear and can be easily followed," says Walker.
