USX to Sell Part of Steel Division
USX Corp. chairman David Roderick said up to 20 percent of the steel division could be sold with full value offered. Inquiries have come from investment bankers, not buyers, while the company weighs any transaction and tax benefits. Roderick projected 1988 shipments above 81 million tons as demand stays strong and prices rise. The USS unit may adjust a prior October price increase amid Bethlehem and LTV moves. USX aims to reduce its $65 billion long term debt next.
