                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


Retirement Programs Committee
Federal-Mogul Corporation

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the Federal-Mogul Corporation Employee Investment Program as of
December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for benefits for the years then ended. 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 in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards 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. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets
held for investment purposes at end of year as of December 31, 1999 is presented
for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial
statements but are supplementary information required by the Department of
Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the
responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial
statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Full vesting also occurs upon death, disability, or retirement at designiated
ages. In addition, special vesting provisions will become effective if if the
Plan is determined to be "top-heavy," pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code.





                                       4

PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS

Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution and
allocations of the (a) the Company's contribution and (b) Plan earnings, and
charged with an allocation of certain administrative expenses. These
administrative expenses, paid by participants, are netted against the net asset
value of the investment fund. Allocations are based on participant earnings or
account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is
the benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested account.

FORFEITURES

Shares of Federal-Mogul Corporation common stock which are not vested at the
time of a participant's withdrawal from the Plan are forfeited and are applied
as a reduction of required Company contributions.

If the individual is re-employed within 60 months of his/her severance of
employment and repays the full amount previously distributed to him/her from the
Company contribution account and otherwise qualifies for reinstatement in the
Plan, the amount of the forfeiture is re-credited to his/her account in the
reinstatement year.

INVESTMENT OPTIONS

The Plan provides for eight investment options which includes a stable value
fund, a bond fund, a large cap equity fund, a mid cap equity fund, a small cap
equity fund, an international fund, a brokerage account and common stock of the
Company.

PARTICIPANT LOANS RECEIVABLE

The Plan allows participants to borrow from their account upon written request
and certain plan conditions. The maximum amount of a participant's borrowings
shall not exceed $50,000 over a 12 month period and is limited to the lower of
50% of the participant's vested account balance or 90% of the participant's
employee contribution accounts. No borrowings shall be given for amounts under
$1,000. Loans for the purchase of a primary residence can be for a 15-year
duration. All other borrowings shall be paid back in equal payments through
payroll deductions not to exceed four-and-one-half years.

PAYMENT OF BENEFITS / WITHDRAWALS

In the event of retirement (as defined by the Plan agreement), death, permanent
disability, termination of employment, (as defined by the Plan agreement), or
attainment of age 59 1/2, the vested balances in the participant's accounts will
be distributed to the participant or the participant's beneficiary in either a
lump-sum distribution, an annual or more frequent installment.

2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNT POLICIES

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of
accounting.

INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION

Investments in Federal-Mogul Corporation common stock, the Bond Fund, the Large
Cap Equity Fund, the Mid Cap Equity Fund, the Small Cap Equity Fund, the
International Fund, and the Brokerage Account are valued at quoted market
prices. The Stable Value Fund is valued at fair market value as estimated by
LaSalle National Trust. The Stable Value Fund value represents contributions
plus interest, less administrative expenses.

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





                                       5
<PAGE>

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNT POLICIES (CONTINUED)

PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

Benefits are recorded when paid

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires the Plan's management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts included in the 1998 financial statements have been reclassified
to conform to the 1999 presentation.

3.  PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS

Certain of the Plan's investments are held by a consolidated master trust (the
"Trust") administered by the Trustee. During the years ended December 31, 1999
and December 31, 1998, the Trust purchased 1,443,654 and 206,232 shares of
common stock of Federal-Mogul Corporation for a total cost of $43,585,601 and
$11,179,982 respectively.

Fees incurred for legal, accounting and other services rendered by
parties-in-interest were based on customary and reasonable rates for such
services and were paid by the Company on behalf of the Plan. Forfeited shares
which have not been applied as a reduction of contributions at year-end are
reflected as a liability to the Company and will be applied to reduce future
Company contributions.

4.  PLAN TERMINATION

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right,
under the Plan, to discontinue its contributions at any time and terminate the
Plan, subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event the Plan is terminated or
partially terminated, the Company shall determine the share of each participant
affected thereby and all accounts shall fully vest. The funds shall then be
distributed to the member and no portion of the funds shall be returned to the
Company.

5.  INCOME TAX STATUS

The Internal Revenue Service has ruled favorably on the Plan as of October 25,
1996 that the Plan qualifies under section 401 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code
(IRC) and the related trust therefore, is not subject to tax under present
income tax laws. The Plan is required to operate in conformity with the IRC and
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 to maintain its
qualification. The Company is not aware of any course of action or series of
events that have occurred that might adversely affect the Plan's qualified
status.

6. INVESTMENTS IN MASTER TRUST

Certain of the Plan's investments are held by a the Trust administered by the
Trustee. At December 31, 1999 and 1998 the Plan holds a 35% share and a 19%
share, respectively, of the master trust.
