          Certain legal matters with respect to the offering of the shares of

participates in the Registrant's Stock Option Plan and in its Salaried Savings
Plan, having an interest in a fund under that plan which invests in the
Registrant's Common Stock.

ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

          Section 721 of the New York Business Corporation Law ("NYBCL") 
provides that, in addition to indemnification provided in Article 7 of the
NYBCL, a corporation may indemnify a director or the officer by a provision
contained in its certificate of incorporation or by-laws or by a duly
authorized resolution of its shareholders or directors or by agreement,
provided that no indemnification may be made to or on behalf of any director
or officer if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the director
or officer establishes that his acts


                                      4
<PAGE>


were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate
dishonesty and material to the cause of action, or that such director or
officer personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to
which he was not legally entitled.

          Section 722(a) of the NYBCL provides that a corporation may indemnify 
a director or officer made, or threatened to be made, a party to any action
other than a derivative action, whether civil or criminal, against judgments,
fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses actually and
necessarily incurred as a result of such action, if such director or officer
acted, in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in, or
not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, in criminal actions
or proceedings, in addition, has no reasonable cause to believe that his
conduct was unlawful.

          Section 722(c) of the NYBCL provides that a corporation may indemnify 
a director or officer, made or threatened to be made a party in a derivative
action, against amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses actually
and necessarily incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement
of such action or in connection with an appeal therein if such director or
officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be
in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except that no
indemnification will be available under Section 722(c) of the NYBCL in respect
of a threatened or pending action which is settled or otherwise disposed of or
any claim as to which such director or officer shall have been adjudged liable
to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the
action was brought, or, if no action was brought, any court of competent
jurisdiction, determines, upon application, that, in view of all the
circumstances of the case, the director or officer is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such portion of the settlement amount and expenses
as the court deems proper.

          Section 723 of the NYBCL specifies the manner in which payment of
indemnification under Section 722 of the NYBCL or indemnification permitted
under Section 721 of the NYBCL may be authorized by the corporation. It
provides that indemnification may be authorized by the corporation. It
provides that indemnification by a corporation is mandatory in any case in
which the director or officer has been successful, whether on the merits or
otherwise, in defending an action. In the event that the director or officer
has not been successful or the action is settled, indemnification must be
authorized by the appropriate corporate action as set forth in Section 723.

          Section 724 of the NYBCL provides that, upon application by a 
director or officer, indemnification may be awarded by a court to the extent
authorized under Section 722 and 723 of the NYBCL contains certain other
miscellaneous provisions affecting the indemnification of directors and
officers.

          Section 726 of the NYBCL authorizes the purchase and maintenance of
insurance to indemnify (1) a corporation for any obligation which it incurs as
a result of the indemnification of directors and officers under the above
section, (2) directors and officers in instances in which they may be
indemnified by a corporation under such section, and (3) directors and
officers in instances in which they may not otherwise be indemnified by a
corporation under such section, provided the contract of insurance covering
such directors and officers provides, in a manner acceptable to the New York
State Superintendent of Insurance, for a retention amount and for
co-insurance.

          Article VII of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the
Registrant provides in part as follows:

               "Each Director of the Corporation shall be indemnified by the
               Corporation against expenses actually and necessarily incurred
               by him in connection with the defense of any action, suit or
               proceeding in which he is made a party by reason of his being
               or having been a Director of the Corporation, except in
               relation to matters as to which he shall be adjudged in such
               action, suit or proceeding to be liable for negligence or
               misconduct in the performance of his duties as such Director,
               provided that such right of indemnification shall not be deemed
               exclusive of any other rights to which a Director of the
               Corporation may be entitled, under any by-law, agreement, vote
               of stockholders or otherwise."


                                      5
<PAGE>


          Article IX of the By-laws, as amended, of the Registrant provides as
follows:

               "The Corporation shall indemnify each Officer or Director who
               is made, or threatened to be made, a party to any action by
               reason of the fact that he or she is or was an Officer or
               Director of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the
               request of the Corporation in any capacity for the Corporation
               or any other enterprise, to the fullest extent permitted by
               applicable law. The Corporation may, so far as permitted by
               law, enter into an agreement to indemnify and advance expenses
               to any Officer or Director who is made, or threatened to be
               made, a party to any such action."

          The Registrant has purchased certain liability insurance for its 
officers and directors as permitted by Section 727 of the NYBCL and has
entered into indemnity agreements with its directors and certain officers
providing indemnification in addition to that provided under the NYBCL as
permitted by Section 721 of the NYBCL.

          Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling
the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been
informed that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore
unenforceable.

ITEM 7.  EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED

     Not Applicable.

ITEM 8.  EXHIBITS


5.1      Opinion of James W. Guedry, Vice President and Secretary of the
         Registrant, regarding the legality of the securities being

23.1     Consent of Arthur Andersen LLP, independent public accountants

23.2     Consent of James W. Guedry (included in Exhibit 5.1)

24.1     Power of Attorney


ITEM 9.  REQUIRED UNDERTAKINGS

     (a)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

     (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration statement:

           (i)  to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the 
     1933 Act;

          (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
     the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent
     post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
     aggregate, represents a fundamental change in the information set forth
     in this registration statement; and

         (iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of
     distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or
     any material change to such information in this registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if
the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8 and the information
required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is


                                      6
<PAGE>


contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13
or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement.

     (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the 1933
Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.

     (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination
of the offering.

     (b)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
          determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the
          Registrant's Annual Report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section
          15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an
          employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of
          the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this
          registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
          statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
          offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
          initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act 
          may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
          the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
          the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
          Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against
          public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
          unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
          such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of
          expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
          person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
          suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
          controlling person in connection with the securities being
          registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
          counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit
          to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
          indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
          Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Gentlemen:

          The following opinion is furnished by the undersigned in connection 
with the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement")
being filed by International Paper Company, a New York corporation (the
"Company") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the
issuance of up to 2,955,219 shares of the Common Stock, par value $1.00 per

and Investment Plan (collectively, the "Plans").

          I have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise 
identified to my satisfaction, or such corporate records and other documents,
and have conducted such other investigations of fact and law, as I have deemed
