DOMINION AUTHORIZES STOCK BUYBACK

Dominion said that the repurchases will be made periodically and that the investment banking firm of Lehman Brothers will assist it. Dominion's stock has been depressed in recent months. It closed Tuesday at $36.75 a share, down 37 cents, in trading on the New York Stock Exchange. by CNB
