                  REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



To the Participants and Administrator of
  the Carrier Corporation Represented
  Employee Savings Plan


In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
and the  related statement  of  changes in  net  assets available  for  benefits
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for  benefits
of the Carrier  Corporation Represented Employee  Savings Plan  (the "Plan")  at
December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998, and the changes in net assets available
for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1999 in conformity with  accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States.  These financial  statements
are the  responsibility  of the  Plan's  management; our  responsibility  is  to
express an  opinion on  these financial  statements  based on  our audits.    We
conducted our audits of these statements  in accordance with auditing  standards
generally accepted in the United States, which require that we plan and  perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial  statements
are free  of material  misstatement.   An audit  includes examining,  on a  test
basis,  evidence  supporting  the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  financial
statements, assessing the accounting  principles used and significant  estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion  expressed
above.

        CARRIER CORPORATION REPRESENTED EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN

                    Notes to Financial Statements

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

General.  The Carrier Corporation Represented Employee Savings Plan (the "Plan")
is a  defined  contribution savings  plan  administered by  United  Technologies
Corporation ("UTC").  It is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").   Union represented employees of  Carrier
Corporation, covered by a collective bargaining agreement that provides for Plan
participation, are eligible to participate in the Plan after completing at least
one year of service.   The following is  a brief description of  the Plan.   For
more complete information, participants should refer to the Plan document  which
is available from UTC.

Contributions  and  Vesting.    All  participants  may  elect,  through  payroll
deductions, to make after-tax contributions of between $2 per week and a maximum
amount as permitted by  the relevant collective  bargaining agreement.   Certain
participants, depending on their collective bargaining agreement, may also  make
tax-deferred  contributions.  Participants  direct   the  investment  of   their
contributions into  various investment  options offered  by the  Plan. The  Plan
currently offers ten mutual funds, four commingled index funds, one stable value
fund,  and  a  company  stock  fund  as  investment  options  for  participants.
Participant contributions, plus actual earnings thereon, are fully vested at all
times under the Plan.   The employer  will  contribute specified  amounts to the
Plan in accordance with the terms outlined in each collective bargaining  agree-
ment. Generally, employer contributions,  plus actual earnings  thereon,  become
fully vested after two years of Plan participation.

Participant  Accounts.    Each  participant's  account  is  credited  with   the
participant's contributions and allocations of (a) UTC's contributions based  on
a percentage of the  participant's contribution and (b)  Plan earnings based  on
account balances.  The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit
that can be provided from the participant's vested account.  Forfeited  balances
of terminated participants' nonvested amounts are used to reduce future employer
contributions.  For the year ended  December 31, 1999, approximately $20,000  of
forfeitures were used to fund employer contributions.

Trustee and Recordkeeper.  All  of the Plan's assets  are held by Bankers  Trust
Company ("Bankers Trust"), the  Plan Trustee. Fidelity Institutional  Retirement
Services  Company  ("Fidelity")   performs  participant  account   recordkeeping
responsibilities.

Participant Loans.    Certain participants  with  at  least two  years  of  Plan
participation are allowed  to borrow up  to 50 percent  of their vested  account
balances.  Loan  amounts can range  from $1,000 to  $50,000 and  must be  repaid
within 5 years.   The  loans are  secured by  the balance  in the  participant's
account and  bear interest  at  Bankers Trust's  prime  rate plus  one  percent.
Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions.

Payment of  Benefits.    Generally,  benefits  are paid  in  a  lump  sum  to  a
terminating participant. A participant terminating  due to retirement may  elect
to receive  benefits  in  installments  over  two  to  twenty  years.    At  the
participant's election, the portion of a  lump sum distribution attributable  to

<PAGE>

an investment in  the UTC Common  Stock Fund investment  option may  be paid  in
shares of UTC Common  Stock instead of cash.  Distributions in UTC Common  Stock
for the year ended December 31,1999 were approximately $26,000.

Other.  Participants who transfer to a new UTC location with a different savings
plan may have the  option of transferring their  account balances in  accordance
with the provisions of the new savings plan.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Basis of Accounting.   The financial statements of  the Plan are prepared  under
the accrual method of  accounting, except for benefits  which are recorded  when
paid.

Master Trust. The Plan's  assets are kept  in a Master  Trust maintained by  the
Plan's trustee.    Under the  Master  Trust  agreement, the  assets  of  certain
employee savings plans of UTC and its subsidiaries are combined.   Participating
plans purchase units  of participation in  the investment funds  based on  their
contribution to such funds and the unit value of the applicable investment  fund
at the end of the trading day in which a transaction occurs.  The unit value  of
each fund  is determined  at  the close  of  each day  by  dividing the  sum  of
uninvested cash, accrued  income and  the current  value of  investments by  the
total number  of  outstanding units  in  such funds.    Income from  the  funds'
investments increases the  participating plans' unit  values.  Distributions  to
participants reduce the number of participation units held by the  participating
plans (see Note 5).

Investment Valuation and  Income Recognition. The  Income Fund's investments  in
insurance contracts (see Note 4) are stated at contract value, which  represents
contributions plus earnings, less Plan withdrawals.  All other funds are  stated
at fair value, as determined by the Trustee, typically by reference to published
market data.

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.  Dividends
are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Plan Expenses.  Plan administrative expenses,  including the Plan's trustee  and
recordkeeping fees, were paid  directly by the employer  in 1999.  The  employer
also paid  certain investment  management fees  for  the Bankers  Trust  managed
funds. All other administrative  and investment expenses were  paid out of  Plan
assets.

Use of Estimates.  The preparation of financial statements requires UTC to  make
estimates and  assumptions that  affect the  reported amounts  in the  financial
statements.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 3 - INVESTMENTS

The following  presents investments  that represent  5 percent  or more  of  the
Plan's net assets:


                                               December 31,
(Thousand of Dollars,                      1999            1998
except unit amounts)

Equity Fund, 865,843 and
907,182 units, respectively             $ 28,348         $ 24,548

UTC Common Stock Fund, 786,272
and 541,169 units, respectively         $ 16,573        $   9,727

Income Fund, 638,850 and
630,529 units, respectively             $ 46,259         $ 42,162

NOTE 4 - INVESTMENT CONTRACTS WITH INSURANCE COMPANIES

The Plan's Income Fund invests in insurance contracts with insurance  companies.
Under these contracts, each insurance company  guarantees repayment  in full  of
the principal  amount  plus interest credited at a  fixed  rate  for a specified
period. Interest is credited to each  contract based  on an annual interest rate
set each year by  the individual insurance companies.  This  rate, which differs
among contracts, takes into  account any difference between  prior year credited
interest and  the actual amount of investment earnings allocable to the contract
in  accordance  with  the established  allocation procedures  of  the  insurance
company.   The   interest   rates earned for 1999 and 1998  were 8.1%  and 8.5%,
respectively.

NOTE 5 - INVESTMENT IN MASTER TRUST

UTC has entered  into a Master  Trust agreement with  Bankers Trust. Under  this
agreement, certain savings plans of UTC and its subsidiaries combine their trust
fund investments in the Master Trust.

Participating plans  purchase units  of participation  in the  investment  funds
based on their contribution to such funds along with income that the  investment
funds may earn, less distributions made to the plan participants.

At December  31,  1999,  the  Plan's interest  in  the  Master  Trust  comprised
6,019,084 units of the  510,203,518 total units of  participation, or 1.18%.  At
December 31, 1998, the Plan's interest  in the Master Trust comprised  5,038,159
units of the total 522,172,913 units of participation, or 0.96%.

NOTE 6 - RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Certain  Plan investment  options are   managed  by  Bankers Trust and Fidelity.
Bankers Trust and Fidelity are the Plan's trustee and recordkeeper,  respective-
ly, as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions  qualify as party-
in-interest transactions.

NOTE 7 - PLAN TERMINATION

Although it has not expressed any intent to do  so, UTC has the right under  the
Plan to discontinue  its contributions  at any time  and to  terminate the  Plan
subject to  the  provisions  of  ERISA.   In  the  event  of  Plan  termination,
participants will become 100 percent vested in their accounts.

NOTE 8 - TAX STATUS

The Internal Revenue  Service has determined  and informed UTC  by letter  dated
September 23, 1996 that  the Plan and related  trust are designed in  accordance
with applicable sections  of the Internal  Revenue Code ("IRC").   The Plan  has
been amended  since receiving  the determination  letters.   However,  the  Plan
administrator and tax counsel  believe that the Plan  is designed and  currently
being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.
