THE M. W. KELLOGG COMPANY EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 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 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.

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).

     Contributions to the Plan reflect after-tax dollars and participants are 
     liable for income taxes on distributions received on plan investments in 
     accordance with the Internal Revenue Code.
