TO: Phillips Domestic Employees
On December 14, 1995, the Compensation and Benefits Arrangements Stock
Trust ("CBT") was established for the Company to use in its sole discretion
to meet its obligations with respect to various compensation and benefits
arrangements. The CBT holds 29.2 million shares of the Company's common
stock. The Trustee for the CBT is Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company
("Trustee").
Under the terms of the CBT, the Trustee is required to seek voting
instructions for the CBT shares from domestic and certain foreign employees
of the Company and subsidiaries who participate in Company stock-related
benefit plans and arrangements.
Enclosed is the voting direction card. If you choose to exercise this
opportunity to vote, your vote will be given equal weight to that of all
employees who elect to vote, and those directions will govern the Trustee's
vote of approximately 95% of the 29.2 million shares. The remaining CBT
shares will be voted by foreign employees under similar arrangements.
This 29.2 million shares in the CBT represent approximately 10% of the
shares of Phillips stock eligible to be voted at the 1997 Annual Meeting.
These shares combined with the approximately 17% stock ownership held by
the Thrift Plan of Phillips Petroleum Company and the Long-Term Stock
Saving Plan of Phillips Petroleum Company give employees a strong voice in
the direction of the Company.

Dear Participant,
In the attached Report and Accounts you will find a notice to Shareholders
convening the Annual General Meeting to be held on Monday 12th May 1997
and a proxy statement. Your attention is drawn to the fact that it is the
Trustee of the Stock Savings Plan who is the registered holder of the
shares and who, therefore, has the right to attend and vote at the Meeting.
However, you are entitled to instruct the Trustee on how to vote on the
resolutions to be proposed at the Meeting in the event of there being a
poll of members. If you wish to do so, you should complete the enclosed
Voting Instruction Form and return it, using the enclosed pre-addressed

If you do not instruct the Trustee on how to vote, your shares will be
voted in the same way and in the same proportions as those for which the

voting will also be used to vote a portion of the Phillips Petroleum
Company Compensation and Benefits Stock Arrangement Trust.
