SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application To Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration; (Benchmark Electronics, Inc., Common Stock, $.10 Par 
Value) File No. 1-10560

August 4, 1997.
    Benchmark Electronics, Inc. (``Company'') has filed an application 
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant 
to Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') and 
Rule 12d2-2(d) promulgated thereunder, to withdraw the above specified 
security (``Security'') from listing and registration on the American 
Stock Exchange, Inc. (``Amex'' or ``Exchange'').
    The reasons cited in the application for withdrawing the Security 
from listing and registration include the following:
    The Company's Security is listed on the New York Stock Exchange 
(``NYSE'') effective May 13, 1997. The Company's Board of Directors 
resolved on April 4, 1997 to withdraw the Company's Security from 
listing on Amex to avoid the direct and indirect cost and the division 
of the market resulting from dual listing.
    The Company has complied with Rule 18 of the American Stock 
Exchange (``Amex'') by filing with such Exchange a certified copy of 
preambles and resolutions adopted by the Company's Board of Directors 
(``Directors'') authorizing the withdrawal of its common stock from 
listing on the Amex and by setting forth in detail to such Exchange the 
reasons for such proposed withdrawal, and the facts in support thereof.
    By letter dated April 30, 1997, the Amex stated that the Exchange 
would not interpose an objection to the Company's application to 
withdraw its Security from listing.
    Any interested person may, on or before August 25, 1997, submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, facts bearing upon whether 
the application has been made in accordance with the rules of the 
exchange and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission 
for the protection of investors. The Commission, based on the 
information submitted to it, will issue an order granting the 
application after the date mentioned above, unless the Commission 
determines to order a hearing on the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
