              REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Participants and the Employee Benefit Plans Board of 
Conoco Inc.

In our opinion, the financial statements listed in the 
accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, 
the net assets available for plan benefits of the Thrift 
Plan for Employees of Conoco Inc. at December 31, 1994 and 
1993, and the changes in net assets available for plan 
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with 
generally accepted accounting principles.  These financial 
statements are the responsibility of the Employee Benefit 
Plans Board of Conoco Inc. as the Plan's Administrator; 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 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 the Plan Administrator, and 
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We 
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the 
opinion expressed above.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an 
opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole.  
The additional information included in schedules 1 and 2 is 
presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a 
required part of the basic financial statements but is 
additional information required by ERISA.  The Fund 
Information in the statement of net assets available for
plan benefits and the statement of changes in net assets
available for plan benefits is presented for purposes of 
additional analysis rather than to present the net assets 
available for plan benefits and changes in net assets 
available for plan benefits of each fund.  Schedules 1 and 2
and the Fund Information have been subjected to the auditing 
procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial 
statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all 
material respects in relation to the basic financial 
statements takes as a whole.

                                     OF
                          CONOCO INC. ("THE COMPANY")

                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 -- DESCRIPTION OF THE THRIFT PLAN:

THE PLAN

          The Thrift Plan for Employees of Conoco Inc.(the "Plan") is a 
defined contribution plan which was established in 1952 by Conoco Inc., a 
wholly-owned subsidiary of E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (DuPont).

          The purpose of the Plan is to encourage employees to save 
systematically a portion of their current compensation and to assist them to 
accumulate additional means for the time of their retirement.  The Plan is a 
tax-qualified, contributory profit sharing plan.  Employees of the Company, 
including employees of affiliated companies that have adopted the Plan, who 
have completed a designated period of 12 consecutive months during which they 
complete 1,000 hours or more of service; who are regular, full time employees 
and have completed at least one year of continuous service; are eligible to 
participate in a qualified profit-sharing plan of an affiliated company from 
which they were transferred; or became members of the Retirement Plan of 
Conoco Inc. (now the Pension and Retirement Plan of E. I. duPont 
de Nemours and Company) prior to January 1, 1993, are eligible to participate 
in the Plan.

          An eligible employee may authorize the Company to make a payroll 
deduction under the Plan ranging from 1% to 15% of monthly pay.  The amount 
deducted can be deposited into a before-tax or after-tax account or some 
combination thereof.  The before-tax provision is permitted under Section 
401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.  Nondiscrimination rules of the Internal 
Revenue Code require that the average savings rates in both the before-tax 
and after-tax accounts of "Highly Compensated" employees (as defined by the 
IRS) should be limited by the average savings rates of "Nonhighly 
Compensated" employees.  At December 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993, the 
allowable after-tax savings rate was 1% and 6% respectively, and their 
allowable before-tax savings rate was 7% and 11% respectively.  In addition, 
in accordance with Internal Revenue Code, the Plan limited contributions by 
any employee to the before-tax account to $9,240 in 1994 and $8,994 in 1993.  
The Company will contribute an amount equal to 100% of the participant's 
savings deductions during a month except that no company contribution will be 
made for any participant's savings in excess of 6% of monthly pay.  In 
addition, subject to certain limitations, participants who are eligible to 
make cash supplemental deposits may make lump sum deposits or deposits in the 
form of monthly deductions in excess of 15%.  Due to the discrimination rules 
of the Internal Revenue Code, only "Non-highly Compensated" participants are 
currently able to make supplemental cash deposits.

                                     OF
                          CONOCO INC. (THE "COMPANY")

                 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)


          A participant with less than five years of participation credit or 
service, who withdraws any matched before-tax or after-tax savings will 
forfeit a portion of related company contributions in accordance with the 
specific plan provisions.  Company contributions will be suspended for six 
months if a participant withdraws any matched before-tax or after-tax savings 
or company contributions contributed to the account during the last two years 
of participation or any earnings in the before-tax or after-tax accounts.  
Employee deposits and matching company contributions will be suspended for 
up to 12 months if a participant withdraws any before-tax contribution 
prior to age 59-1/2. In certain circumstances such a withdrawal 
may also preclude a participant from making any pre-tax contributions in the 
year following the withdrawal.  Any vested participant who retires or 
separates from service may elect to make a full account withdrawal at any 
time. Mandatory minimum distribution commences in March following the year 
the participant reaches age 70-1/2.  

          Participants may borrow up to one-half of their nonforfeitable 
account balances subject to certain minimum and maximum loan limitations.  
The loans are executed by promissory notes and have a minimum term of 12 
months and a maximum term of 60 months, except for qualified residential 
loans which have a maximum term of 120 months.  The loans bear an interest 
rate equal to the average rate charged by selected major banks to prime 
customers for secured loans. The loans are repaid over the term in monthly 
installments of principal and interest by payroll deduction.  A participant 
also has the right to repay the loan in full at any time without penalty.

  INVESTMENT FUNDS

          The following investment funds have been established with trustees 
for the investment of employee savings and company contributions.  The nature
of the investments maintained in each fund is described below:

Fixed Income Fund            -- Investments under agreement with one or more

                                companies which provide for the return of 
                                principal in full plus the payment of 
                                interest at a predetermined rate for a 
                                specific period of time. The fund's blended
                                rate of return for the 12 months ending
                                December 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993
                                was 8.51% and 8.97%, respectively.

                          CONOCO INC. (THE "COMPANY")

                 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)


  ADMINISTRATION

          The designated trustee of all the aforementioned funds is 
Merrill Lynch Trust Company of America (Merrill Lynch).  The administration 
of the Plan is vested in the Board of Directors of Conoco Inc. which may 
designate three or more persons to operate and administer the Plan.  The 
Board of Directors of Conoco Inc. or it's delegee may designate three or more 
persons to serve on the Employee Benefit Plans Board which has the authority 
to appoint trustees and select insurers. All recordkeeping and trustee fees 
of the Plan are paid by the Company.  The administrative fees for the Fixed 
Income Fund are netted against the investment income of these funds.

          While the Company has not expressed any intent to terminate the 
Plan, it is free to do so at any time.  In the event the Plan is terminated, 
all participants become vested and the distribution of all account balances 
will be made based upon the valuation of the participant's account.

NOTE 2 -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

          For financial reporting purposes, the assets of the Plan are 
reflected on the accrual and fair value bases of accounting.  The provi-
sions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) require 
presentation based on fair value.  The Fixed Income Fund guaranteed 
investment contracts (GIC), separate account portfolios (SAP) and 
synthetic guaranteed investment contracts (SYN) are fully benefit responsive 
and thus, are stated at cost plus accrued interest, using the contracted 
interest rates applied to the daily account balances.  Investments in the 
Family of Mutual Funds, the DuPont Common Stock Fund, and Merrill Lynch 
Mutual Funds, except for the Equity Index Fund, are stated at fair value 
based on publicly quoted market prices.  Investments in the Merrill Lynch 
Equity Index Fund and the 3-Way Asset Allocation Fund are stated at the fair 
value of all underlying assets as reported by the applicable custodian.  The 
fair value of loans to participants in the Loan Fund represent the 
outstanding principal balances of the loans.

          The unit value or price of the Fixed Income Fund, the 3-Way Asset 
Allocation Fund, Merrill Lynch Mutual Funds and the DuPont Common Stock 
Fund, reflect the prices at which participant's accounts are valued at the 
end of the period reported.  The "Net Asset Value" per share, or NAV, for 
each Fund in the Family of Mutual Funds is computed by adding the value of 
all portfolio holdings and other assets, deducting liabilities and then 
dividing the result by the number of shares outstanding at month end.  
Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company calculates each of 
these funds' NAV at the close of each business day of the New York Stock 
Exchange.  There is no unit value for the Loan Fund since loans are 
identified directly with participants' accounts.  The Company may, at its 
option, issue DuPont common stock in lieu of cash contributions to the DuPont

                 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)


Common Stock Fund and also in lieu of cash dividends on DuPont common stock.  
The number of shares issued is based upon the cash value of the contributions 
and dividends divided by the market value of DuPont common stock at the end 
of the month of issue.  Shares of DuPont common stock are allocated to 
participants in the DuPont Common Stock Fund based on the ratio of the amount 
deposited to each participant's account to the total amount contributed to 
the Fund.

          Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest 
income is recorded on the accrual basis.  Gains and losses on the sale of 
the DuPont Common Stock Fund investment securities are based on average 
cost of the securities sold and are recognized on the trade date.  

          Certain reclassifications have been made to the Plan's 1993 
financial statements to conform with the 1994 presentation.

Stock Fund, the Fidelity Family of Mutual Funds, and certain Fixed Fund
contracts individually represented more than 5% of the net assets available 
for benefits at December 31, 1994.  Short term investments represent funds
deposited in the Merrill Lynch Government Fund, a money market fund.

to participants in the Investment Plan for Salaried Employees of Consol Inc.

owned equally by DuPont and subsidiaries of RWE AG of Germany. Accordingly, 
the investments in these funds by participants in the Plan and the Consol 
Plan have been commingled for investment purposes; however, the plan assets 
are maintained separately by the trustee.

                 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)


NOTE 4 -- REALIZED AND UNREALIZED GAINS AND LOSSES

          Realized and unrealized gains and losses are calculated based upon
historical cost of assets.  Such gains and losses are computed on a current
value basis for Form 5500.  The difference may result in a differing classi-
fication between realized and unrealized but the total gain or loss will be
unaffected.

NOTE 5 -- INCOME TAX STATUS

          The Plan is a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a) of the 
Internal Revenue Code and the related Trusts are exempt from federal taxation 
under Section 501(a) of the Code.  A favorable tax determination letter has 
been received by the Plan.  Accordingly, no provision has been made for 
federal income taxes in the accompanying financial statements.  The Plan has 
been amended since receiving the determination letter.  However, the Plan 
Administrator and the Plan's Tax Counsel believe that the Plan is designed 
and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable 
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.

          Participants in the Plan are not subject to federal income taxes on 
account balances arising from employer contributions, tax-deferred employee 
deposits, or accrued income until distributions or withdrawals are made.

NOTE 6 -- CHANGE OF TRUSTEE AND RECORDKEEPER

          Effective January 1993 the record-keeping of the Plan was
transferred to Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated.  
Concurrently with this move, Merrill Lynch became the Trustee for the Fixed 
Income Fund, Family of Mutual Funds, 3-Way Asset Allocation Fund, DuPont 
Common Stock Fund, Loan Fund and the Merrill Lynch Mutual Funds. 

NOTE 7 -- WELLS FARGO CONVERSION

          In January 1993, the Plan's position in the Wells Fargo 3-Way Asset 
Allocation Fund was converted from Monthly (U.S. Tactical Asset Allocation 
Fund) to Daily (U.S. Tactical Asset Allocation Fund E). This conversion 
resulted in a change of the base unit value to $10 per share with a relative 
change in shares held to ensure no gain or loss for participants. The 
conversion was necessary to allow daily trading of the 3-Way Asset Allocation 
Fund.
