To the Participants of
The M. W. Kellogg Company
  Employee Stock Purchase Plan


In our opinion, the financial statements listed in the accompanying index
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition of The M. W.
Kellogg Company Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the Plan) at March 31, 1997 and
1996, and its income and changes in Plan equity for the periods then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  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 audit of these statements in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards 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.

            THE M. W. KELLOGG COMPANY EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The M. W. Kellogg Company Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the Plan) was
established in April of 1994 to assist eligible employees of The M. W. Kellogg
Company (the Company) acquire and accumulate shares of Dresser Industries,
Inc.'s (Dresser's) common stock through regular and systematic payroll
deductions.  The Company supplements the purchase by paying for the transaction
cost of the purchase and other incidental costs of the service.  Reference
should be made to the Plan brochure for complete information.  The Plan began
operating in May 1995.

Substantially all regular, full-time employees of the Company are eligible to
participate in the Plan.

The aggregate amount of each payroll deduction is used to purchase shares of
Dresser's common stock off the open market.  The shares purchased are credited
to individual securities accounts established for each participant.  The amount
credited is determined by the average share price of the purchase and the
participant's contribution.

A participant can sell all or part of his investment at any time.  All
distributions are made in cash and the participant is responsible for all
transaction and service fees associated with the sale of stock held in his
individual securities account.  The cost of shares is determined using the
first-in, first-out principle.

The Company may terminate the Plan at any time.  Upon termination of the Plan, a
participant's individual securities account can remain open at the discretion of
the employee and the employee can continue to buy, sell and hold securities;
however, different transaction fees and account fees may apply.

The accounting records of the Plan are maintained on an accrual basis. 
Investments are recorded at market value as determined by the average of the
high and low sales prices of the Dresser common stock on the last business day
of each Plan quarter.  The Company pays all of the Plan's administrative
expenses.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. 
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

                                     5

NOTE 2 - TAX STATUS OF THE PLAN:

Management does not intend for the Plan to be qualified under Section 401(a) of
the Internal Revenue Code or subject to regulation under the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

Participants are liable for income taxes on distributions received on Plan
investments in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code.
