Dear Rand:
I understand from press reports that your directors will be
meeting on February 4, 1997, to consider Hilton's $55 per
share offer for ITT Corporation. I would very much like to
meet with you in advance of that meeting, or make a
presentation to the ITT Board at that meeting, and discuss
the compelling benefits that we see from the combination of
our two companies. As I am sure you are aware, the
shareholders of both of our companies and industry analysts
have responded enthusiastically to Hilton's merger proposal.
This response confirms our view that it is in the best
interests of each company and its respective shareholders,
employees and other constituencies to make this combination a
reality.
As you know, we are excited about the benefits of this
combination for both of our companies, and we hope that you
will share that enthusiasm after we meet with you, your
directors and your advisors to discuss its details.
Best personal regards,
/s/ Steve
Stephen F. Bollenbach
