Speaking for Exxon, I can say that we most certainly and emphatically have not done this.

Located on the Mediterranean at the mouth of the canal, Port Said offers a good climate and cheap labor (skilled factory workers make $6 a day). The government would allow raw materials to enter the zone and finished products to leave it with virtually no taxation. To the south, along the canal on Lake Timsah, Osman has dreams of building a $125 million tourist resort...
