	%X The B'enard-Marangoni thermal instability problem for
a viscoelastic Jeffreys- fluid layer with internal heat generation is
investigated. The fluid layer is bounded above by a realistic free
deformable surface and by a plane surface below. Our analysis
shows that while the internal heat generation and the relaxation time
both destabilize the fluid layer, its stability may be enhanced by an
increased retardation time.
