                    Hart-Scott-Rodino Waiting Period Ended
                     For Owens Corning, Fibreboard Merger


TOLEDO, Ohio, and DALLAS, Texas; June 5, 1997 - Owens Corning (NYSE/TSE: OWC)
and Fibreboard Corporation (AMEX: FBD) today announced that they have received
notice of termination of the Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period in connection with
Owens Corning's tender offer for all of the outstanding shares of common stock
of Fibreboard Corporation.

Owens Corning and Fibreboard announced a merger agreement on May 28, approved by
the Boards of Directors of both companies, providing for Owens Corning to
acquire all of the outstanding shares of Fibreboard Corporation for $55.00 per
share. A tender offer for the shares was launched Friday, May 30.

The merger, Owens Corning's sixteenth acquisition during the past three years
and the largest to date, will substantially strengthen the company's offering in
building materials systems and provide Fibreboard the resources for continued
growth. The merger is expected to be accretive to Owens Corning in 1997 and on
an ongoing basis. The companies expect the transaction to close early in the
third quarter of 1997.

Headquartered in Toledo, Ohio, Owens Corning is a world leader in high
performance glass fiber composites and building materials with sales in 1996 of
$3.8 billion. The company employs 19,000 people in more than 30 countries.

to be close to $800 million. The company employs 3,400 people and operates a
total of 21 manufacturing plants in the U.S. and Canada.
