Exhibit 99
MCDONNELL DOUGLAS AND U.S. NAVY
AGREE TO SETTLEMENT ON T-45 CLAIMS
St. Louis, Aug. 2, 1996 -- McDonnell Douglas today announced
that it has agreed with the Navy to settle the T-45 claims and
appeal pending in the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals.
Under the agreement, subject to Congressional notification,
the Navy will pay McDonnell Douglas $209 million by September 30,
1996, or the agreement will expire.
The agreement also provides for the resolution of several
contract issues and the conclusion of certain current business
arrangements in a manner which overall the company considers
favorable and in the best interests of McDonnell Douglas and the
Navy.
Based on current understandings, McDonnell Douglas expects
to record a charge to pre-tax earnings of approximately $14
million in the third quarter of 1996 in connection with the
settlement and the resolution of such contract issues. After
supplier payyments, the agreement is expected to result in
favorable cash impacts aggregating approximately $169 million for
the period.
