                    HILTON EXTENDS TENDER OFFER FOR ITT STOCK

              Beverly Hills, California, June 27, 1997 -- Hilton Hotels
         Corporation (NYSE:HLT) today extended its cash tender offer for
         50.1 percent of the shares of ITT at $55 per share.  The offer,
         which has an expiration date of June  27, is now scheduled to
         expire at 12 midnight, New York City time, on August 1, 1997,
         unless again extended.  To date, approximately  1.3 million ITT
         shares have been tendered.  

              Hilton's offer of $55 per share represents a premium of 29
         percent over the closing price for ITT's stock on January 27,
         the day Hilton announced its bid to acquire ITT.  Following
         completion of the tender offer, Hilton intends to consummate a
         merger in which all remaining ITT shares would be exchanged for
         Hilton stock at $55 per ITT share, subject to appropriate
         collar provisions.  ITT has approximately 122.7 million shares
         on a fully diluted basis, giving the transaction a total net
         equity value of approximately $6.5 billion.

              The complete terms and conditions of the tender offer are
         set forth in the offering documents filed January 31 with the
         Securities and Exchange Commission.  Donaldson, Lufkin &
         Jenrette Securities Corporation is acting as Dealer Manager for
         the offer and MacKenzie Partners, Inc., is acting as In-
         formation Agent.
