   This Amendment No. 1 to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (this

 corporation (the "Purchaser") and a wholly owned subsidiary of Alcoa Inc.,
 a Pennsylvania corporation ("Alcoa"), to purchase all outstanding shares of
 common stock, including the associated rights to purchase preferred stock
 (collectively, the "Shares"), of Cordant Technologies Inc., a Delaware
 corporation (the "Company"), at a price of $57.00 per Share, net to the
 seller in cash, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in
 the Purchaser's Offer to Purchase, dated March 20, 2000 (the "Offer to
 Purchase"), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (which together
 constitute the "Offer").

 Item 1.   SUMMARY TERM SHEET.

       Item 1 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

       The first bullet in the section entitled "What Are the Most
 Significant Conditions to the Offer?" in the Summary Term Sheet in the
 Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as
 follows:

       "o  We are not obligated to purchase any shares that are validly
           tendered unless the number of shares validly tendered and not
           withdrawn before the expiration date of the offer represents at
           least a majority of the then outstanding shares on a fully
           diluted basis.  We call this condition the "minimum condition."
           For purposes of the offer, "on a fully diluted basis" means, as
           of any time, on a basis that includes the number of shares of
           Cordant common stock that are actually issued and outstanding
           plus the maximum number of such shares that Cordant may be
           required to issue under stock options, warrants and other rights
           or securities convertible into shares of Cordant common stock,
           whether or not currently exercisable."

 ITEM 7.   SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

       Item 7 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

       "Following further evaluation of various available financing
       alternatives,  Alcoa has determined that it will obtain all of the
       funds necessary to purchase Shares pursuant to the Offer and the
       Merger from internally generated funds and the issuance of commercial
       paper."

 ITEM 11.  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

       Item 11 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as
 follows:

       The information set forth in the Offer to Purchase and Letter of
 Transmittal is incorporated herein by reference, except that Section
 7u"Certain Information Concerning the CompanyuCertain Projections" in the
 Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and supplemented to add the following

       "The safe harbor for forward-looking statements provided for under
       the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 does not apply
       to  forward-looking statements that are made in connection with a
