ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
On May 21, 1996, Fort Howard Corporation announced that on May 20, 1996,
it received a subpoena to provide certain documents to a federal grand jury in
Cleveland that is investigating possible antitrust violations in the sanitary
paper products industry.
The grand jury investigation appears to relate to the broad-based civil
antitrust investigation of the industry started by the United States
Department of Justice in 1994.
According to Fort Howard's spokesman, Clifford A. Bowers, the company has
a history of high ethical standards in all aspects of its business. Fort
Howard fully cooperated with the Justice Department on all earlier requests
for information regarding this industry-wide investigation, and it will
continue to do so.
