EXHIBIT 99.1
October 5, 1995
Mr. Robert J. Eaton
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer
Chrysler Corporation
12000 Chrysler Drive
Highland Park, MI 48288-0001
Dear Bob:
In reading your remarks of October 3, 1995, I note that you once again suggested
that Tracinda would seek to benefit at the expense of other shareholders or
consider "greenmail."
To remove any ambiguity on this point, Tracinda is asking the Chrysler Board to
immediately put in place an appropriate amendment to the by-laws to ensure that
no shareholder receives any benefit for its shares that is not equally available
to all shareholders.
If the Board believes it is appropriate to seek shareholder approval prior to
adopting such a provision, we hereby commit the votes of all our shares to such
a proposal.
Sincerely,
Kirk Kerkorian
