The following is the disposition of said          requests:               1. Footnote 1 is amended to read "twelve years" in          substitution of "twelve months."          2. The last full paragraph of page 13 of the opinion of the          Court is amended to read:                    For the  foregoing reasons,  we conclude  that the                    improper remarks  were not  so  prejudicial as  to                    require reversal. Notwithstanding our  decision in                    this regard,  we repeat  our concern that,  "after                    numerous warnings from this court, the prosecuting                    attorneys in  the District of Puerto  Rico persist                    in spiking their arguments with comments that  put                    their  cases at  risk."

When, as  in                          ________________                    this   case,   a   visiting   Justice   Department                    prosecutor  conducts  the  trial, we  nevertheless                    expect  the  resident  United States  Attorney  to                    insure   that  the   expectations  of   the  court                    concerning   closing   argument  be   made  known.               It is so Ordered.                                                 By the Court:                                                 FRANCIS P.
