INGRAHAM, Circuit Judge,
concurring specially.
I concur in Judge Wisdom’s opinion despite initial reservations about venue as to Hill. Energy Resources Group, Inc. v. Energy Resources Corp., 297 F.Supp. 232 (S.D. Tex.1969), an opinion authored by me, illustrates the problems encountered in large multi-district states. The State of Texas, whose statute of incorporation is the basis for venue in this suit, has recognized these difficulties and has enacted a complex set of rules governing venue. However, I agree that § 1404(a) may be utilized to alleviate such problems in the federal courts.
