		   PPG INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

	    Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)


1.   Financial Statements

	The condensed financial statements included herein are unaudited.  In 
the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments, 
consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair 
presentation of the financial position of PPG Industries, Inc. and 
consolidated subsidiaries (the Company or PPG) at June 30, 1995, and the 
results of their operations for the three- and six-month periods ended 
June 30, 1995 and 1994 and their cash flows for the six-month periods 
ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.  These condensed financial statements 
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes 
thereto incorporated by reference in PPG's Annual Report on Form 10-K 
for the year ended December 31, 1994.

	The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1995 
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full 
year.


2.   Inventories

	Inventories at June 30, 1995, and December 31, 1994, are detailed 
	below.
<TABLE>

      Finished products and work in process............  $513.7      $462.7
      Raw materials....................................   132.5       111.9
      Supplies.........................................   114.2       111.8

	Total..........................................  $760.4      $686.4
</TABLE>

	Most domestic and certain foreign inventories are valued using the 
	last-in, first-out method.  If the first-in, first-out method had been 
	used, inventories would have been $212.5 million and $199.2 million 
	higher at June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively.


3.   Business Divestiture

	PPG's operating results reflect the impact of the Company's programs to 
divest businesses and activities not meeting strategic or performance 
objectives.  The 1994 charge pertains to the divestiture of the 
Biomedical Systems Division.  Refer to Management's Discussion and 
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for further 
details regarding this charge.

6.   Environmental Matters

Management of the Company anticipates that the resolution of the 
environmental contingencies discussed below, which will occur over an 
extended period of time, will not result in future annual charges to 
income that are significantly greater than those recorded in recent 
years.  It is possible, however, that technological, regulatory and 
enforcement developments, the results of environmental studies and other 
factors could alter this expectation.  In management's opinion, the 
     
				- 6 -
<PAGE>
Company operates in an environmentally sound manner and the outcome of 
these environmental matters will not have a material effect on PPG's 
financial position or liquidity.  To date, compliance with federal, 
state and local requirements has not had a material impact on PPG's 
financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

It is PPG's policy to accrue expenses for environmental contingencies 
when it is probable that a liability exists and the amount of loss can 
be reasonably estimated.  As of June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, PPG 
had environmental reserves totaling $92 million and $90 million, 
respectively.  Charges against income for environmental remediation 
costs for the six month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 were 
$21 million and $13 million, respectively.

In addition to the amounts accrued, the Company may be subject to 
contingencies related to environmental matters estimated at the high end 
to be as much as $200 million to $400 million.  Such aggregate losses 
are reasonably possible but not currently considered to be probable of 
occurrence.  The Company's current environmental contingencies are 
expected to be resolved over a period of 20 years or more.  These loss 
contingencies include significant unresolved issues such as the nature 
and extent of contamination, if any, at sites and the methods that may 
have to be employed should remediation be required.  Although insurance 
may cover a portion of these costs, to the extent they are incurred, any 
potential recovery is not included in this unrecorded exposure to future 
loss.  With respect to certain waste sites, the financial condition of 
any other potentially responsible parties also contributes to the 
uncertainty of estimating PPG's final costs.  Although contributors of 
waste to sites involving other potentially responsible parties may face 
governmental agency assertions of joint and several liability, in 
general, final allocations of costs are made based on the relative 
contributions of wastes to such sites.  PPG is generally not a major 
contributor to such sites.  Although the unrecorded exposure to future 
loss relates to all sites, a significant portion of such unrecorded 
exposure involves three operating plant sites and one closed plant site. 
Two of the sites are in the early stages of study, while the remaining 
two are further into the study phase.  All four sites require additional 
study to assess the magnitude of contamination, if any, and the 
remediation alternatives.


7.   Common Stock

On April 20, 1995, the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation were 
amended to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 
300 million to 600 million.

 Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
	  Condition and Results of Operations

Performance in the Second Quarter of 1995 Compared to the Second Quarter of 
1994

Performance Overview

Sales for the second quarter of 1995 and 1994 were $1.87 billion and $1.62 
billion, respectively.  The sales increase was attributable to higher prices 
in all product lines, particularly for our chlor-alkali and derivative, fiber 
glass, and flat glass products, higher volumes in each of the business 
segments, and the favorable effects of foreign currency translation.

The gross profit percentage increased to 40.7% from 39.0% in the prior year's 
quarter primarily due to higher sales prices in all business segments.  The 
negative effects of inflation partially offset these gains.

Net income and earnings per share for the 1995 quarter were $216.8 million and 
$1.06, respectively.  In the second quarter of 1994, net income and earnings 
per share were $96.2 million and $0.46, respectively, which included a $52 
million ($0.24 per share) after-tax charge to divest the Biomedicals Systems 
Division.  Current period net income was favorably impacted by the factors 
that contributed to the gross profit percentage improvement, higher sales 
volumes, the absence of the business divestiture charge, and increased other 
earnings which were attributable to gains from legal settlements.  Partially 
offsetting these gains was higher income tax expense.

Performance of Business Segments

Coatings and resins sales increased to $757 million from $695 million in the 
second quarter of 1994.  Operating earnings for both periods were 
$143 million.  The increase in sales was primarily attributable to higher 
volumes in all European product lines, particularly automotive products, the 
favorable effects of translating European currencies, higher volumes for North 
American architectural coatings, and stronger prices worldwide for our 
automotive refinish products.  The effect of lower North American automotive 
refinish volume partially offset these improvements. Despite higher sales, 
operating earnings remained flat as the favorable effects of volume 
improvements and manufacturing efficiencies, combined with a gain from a legal 
settlement, were offset by the negative effects of inflation, particularly on 
raw material costs.

Glass sales increased to $698 million in the second quarter of 1995 from $617 
million in the prior year's quarter.  Operating income increased to $135 
million from $93 million in the corresponding 1994 period.  Contributing to 
the sales increase were higher sales prices, principally for worldwide flat 
glass and fiber glass products and North American automotive replacement 
glass, the favorable effects of translating European currencies, and higher 
fiber glass volume.  The effect of lower North American automotive replacement 
glass volume partially offset these improvements.  Increased operating 
earnings were primarily the result of the factors that contributed to the 
sales increase, partially offset by the negative effects of inflation.


				    - 8 -
<PAGE>
Chemicals sales increased to $415 million from $307 million in the second 
quarter of 1994.  Operating earnings for the corresponding periods were $103 
million and $35 million, respectively.  The increase in sales was primarily 
attributable to substantial price gains for chlor-alkali and derivative 
products and higher volumes for Transitions optical lenses.  The increase in 
operating earnings was attributable to the factors that contributed to the 
sales increase, partially offset by the negative effects of inflation, 
particularly on ethylene costs, and higher overhead costs.

The "other" segment's 1994 operating loss represents the charge to divest the 
Biomedical Systems Division.

Performance in the First Six Months of 1995 Compared to the First Six Months 
of 1994

Performance Overview

Sales for the first six months of 1995 and 1994 were $3.61 billion and $3.10 
billion, respectively.  The sales increase was attributable to higher prices 
in all product lines, particularly for our chlor-alkali and derivative, fiber 
glass, and flat glass products, higher volumes in each of the business 
segments, and the favorable effects of foreign currency translation.

The gross profit percentage increased to 40.8% from 38.6% in the prior year 
primarily due to higher sales prices in all business segments.  The negative 
effects of inflation partially offset these gains.

Net income and earnings per share for the current year period were $436.0 
million and $2.12, respectively, which included a $24.2 million after-tax gain 
($0.12 per share) from a legal settlement of a glass technology dispute with 
Pilkington plc of England.  In the prior year period, net income and earnings 
per share were $218.1 million and $1.03, respectively, including a $52 million 
($0.24 per share) after-tax charge to divest the Biomedical Systems Division.  
Current period earnings were favorably impacted by the factors that 
contributed to the gross profit percentage improvement, higher sales volumes, 
the absence of the business divestiture charge, and increased other earnings 
which were attributable to several gains from legal settlements.  Partially 
offsetting these items were higher income tax expense and increased other 
charges.  The majority of the increase in other charges was the result of a 
charge for a legal dispute and higher environmental expense.

Performance of Business Segments

Coatings and resins sales increased to $1.44 billion from $1.32 billion in the 
first six months of 1994.  Operating earnings for the corresponding periods 
were $272 million and $267 million, respectively.  Contributing to the sales 
increase were higher volumes in all European product lines, particularly 
automotive products, the favorable effects of translating European currencies, 
higher volumes in North American industrial and architectural coatings, and 
stronger prices in our automotive refinish products.  The effect of lower 
North American automotive refinish volume partially offset these improvements. 
     


				    - 9 -
<PAGE>
Despite higher sales, operating earnings remained relatively flat as the 
effects of higher volumes, combined with gains from legal settlements, were 
substantially offset by the negative effects of inflation, particularly on raw 
material costs.

Glass sales increased to $1.36 billion in the sixth-month period ended June 
30, 1995, from $1.19 billion in the prior year period.  Operating income 
increased to $290 million from $169 million in the corresponding 1994 period. 
Contributing to the sales increase were higher sales prices, principally for 
worldwide fiber glass and flat glass products, higher volumes in most of the 
segment's major businesses, principally worldwide fiber glass and automotive 
original, and the favorable effects of translating European currencies.  The 
effect of lower volume in North American automotive replacement glass 
partially offset these improvements.  Increased operating earnings were 
primarily the result of the factors that contributed to the sales increase and 
the gain from the first quarter legal settlement with Pilkington.  The 
negative effects of inflation and higher overhead costs partially offset these 
improvements.

Chemicals sales increased to $811 million from $595 million for the six-month 
period ended June 30, 1995.  Operating income increased to $196 million from 
$71 million for the corresponding prior year period.  The increase in sales 
was primarily attributable to substantial price gains for chlor-alkali and 
derivative products and volume improvements for specialty products, 
particularly Transitions optical lenses.  The increase in operating earnings 
was attributable to the factors that contributed to the sales increase.  
Partially offsetting these improvements were the negative effects of 
inflation, particularly on ethylene costs, a charge for a legal dispute, 
increased environmental expenses, and higher overhead costs.

The "other" segment's 1994 operating loss represents the charge to divest the 
Biomedical Systems Division.

Other Factors

The increase in income tax expense was principally due to significantly higher 
pre-tax earnings.

The increase in accounts receivable was the result of higher sales in May and 
June of 1995 as compared with those in November and December of 1994, seasonal 
extended credit terms to certain customers, and the strengthening of certain 
European currencies against the U.S. dollar.

Higher inventories were mainly due to a build-up in our coatings and resins 
segment, primarily in Europe, to support stronger sales volumes.  Also 
contributing to the increase was the strengthening of certain European 
currencies against the U.S. dollar.

The decline in investments was principally due to a loan taken against the 
cash surrender value of an investment in company-owned life insurance.

A pension plan contribution was the main factor contributing to the increase 
in other assets.

Environmental Matters

Management of the Company anticipates that the resolution of the environmental 
contingencies discussed below, which will occur over an extended period of 
time, will not result in future annual charges to income that are 
significantly greater than those recorded in recent years.  It is possible, 
however, that technological, regulatory and enforcement developments, the 
results of environmental studies and other factors could alter this 
expectation.  In management's opinion, the Company operates in an 
environmentally sound manner and the outcome of these environmental matters 
will not have a material effect on PPG's financial position or liquidity.  To 
date, compliance with federal, state and local requirements has not had a 
material impact on PPG's financial position, results of operations or 
liquidity.

It is PPG's policy to accrue expenses for environmental contingencies when it 
is probable that a liability exists and the amount of loss can be reasonably 
estimated.  As of June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, PPG had environmental 
reserves totaling $92 million and $90 million, respectively. Charges against 
income for environmental remediation costs for the six month periods ended 
June 30, 1995 and 1994 were $21 million and $13 million, respectively.

In addition to the amounts accrued, the Company may be subject to 
contingencies related to environmental matters estimated at the high end to be 
as much as $200 million to $400 million.  Such aggregate losses are reasonably 
possible but not currently considered to be probable of occurrence.  The 
Company's current environmental contingencies are expected to be resolved over 
a period of 20 years or more.  These loss contingencies include significant 
unresolved issues such as the nature and extent of contamination, if any, at 
sites and the methods that may have to be employed should remediation be 
required.  Although insurance may cover a portion of these costs, to the 
extent they are incurred, any potential recovery is not included in this 
unrecorded exposure to future loss.  With respect to certain waste sites, the 
financial condition of any other potentially responsible parties also 
contributes to the uncertainty of estimating PPG's final costs.  Although 
contributors of waste to sites involving other potentially responsible parties 
may face governmental agency assertions of joint and several liability, in 
general, final allocations of costs are made based on the relative 
contributions of wastes to such sites.  PPG is generally not a major 
contributor to such sites.  Although the unrecorded exposure to future loss 
relates to all sites, a significant portion of such unrecorded exposure 
involves three operating plant sites and one closed plant site. Two of the 
sites are in the early stages of study, while the remaining two are further 
into the study phase.  All four sites require additional study to assess the 
magnitude of contamination, if any, and the remediation alternatives.

<PAGE>
Business Divestiture

PPG's operating results reflect the impact of the Company's programs to divest 
businesses and activities not meeting strategic or performance objectives.  
The 1994 charge pertains to the divestiture of the Biomedicals System 
Division.  The majority of the charge was comprised of the reversal of a $60 
million gain originally anticipated from divestiture of the division's sensors 
business at the time the decision was made to dispose of the division and 
reflects the general decline in health-care and related markets.  Also, a $13 
million charge was taken for additional operating losses anticipated because 
of extension of the expected disposal date as well as actual operating losses 
exceeding those originally estimated.  With the sale of the sensors business 
in January 1995, the divestiture of the Biomedical Systems Division is 
complete.

Foreign Currency and Interest Rate Risk

As a multinational company, PPG manages its transaction exposure to foreign 
currency risk to minimize the volatility of cash flows caused by currency 
fluctuations.  The Company manages its foreign currency exposures principally 
through the purchase of forward and option contracts.  It does not manage its 
exposure to translation gains and losses; however, by borrowing in local 
currencies it reduces such exposure.  The market value of the forward and 
option contracts purchased and outstanding as of June 30, 1995, was not 
material.

The Company manages its interest rate risk in order to balance its exposure 
between fixed and variable rates while attempting to minimize its interest 
costs.  PPG principally manages its interest rate risk by retiring and issuing 
debt from time to time.  To a limited extent, PPG manages its interest rate 
risk through the purchase of interest rate swaps.  As of June 30, 1995 and 
December 31, 1994, the notional principal amounts and fair values of interest 
rate swaps held were immaterial.

PPG's policies do not permit active trading of currency or interest rate 
derivatives.

     (b)  Reports on Form 8-K

The Company filed a Form 8-K on April 7, 1995, dated April 4, 1995, 
attaching a press release.  The release indicated that the glass 
technology dispute with Pilkington plc of England had been settled. 
Both companies dismissed all actions on the basis of no finding of 
fault on either side.  Pilkington plc is to pay PPG $50 million, 
being reimbursement of $36 million paid by PPG to Pilkington after 
an earlier litigation and a contribution toward balancing of legal 
costs.  This settlement eliminates all existing claims between PPG 
and Pilkington and those companies agreed generally not to file any 
future claims against each other, or their subsidiaries or 
licensees, concerning float-process technology for making flat 
glass.

The Company filed a Form 8-K on April 24, 1995, dated April 20, 
1995.  The report indicated that on April 20, 1995 the Board of 
Directors approved the repurchase of ten million shares of the 
Company's outstanding common stock, par value $1.66 2/3 per share. 
The shares may be repurchased in open market or private 
transactions and a timetable was not established for the 
repurchase.

			     SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

			  
THIS SETTLEMENT AND RELEASE AGREEMENT is entered into this 10th day 
of February, 1995, by and between PPG Industries, Inc. ("PPG") and John J. 
Horgan ("Horgan").

WHEREAS, PPG and Horgan have discussed the terms and conditions under which 
Horgan's employment with PPG will be terminated;
AND WHEREAS, the parties wish to set forth their complete Agreement and Mutual 
Release of Claims as such are related in any fashion to Horgan's employment 
with and/or termination from PPG.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
 1.     Horgan shall continue to serve as Senior Vice President, Fiber Glass 
 from January through June, 1995.
 2.     Effective July 1, 1995, Horgan shall be reassigned to a senior 
 corporate position, and will remain in that position through December 31, 1995.
 3.     Horgan shall receive a base salary of $300,000 and a guaranteed bonus
 of $200,000, for a total of $500,000 for 1995; provided, however, that PPG 
 shall have the right to terminate Horgan's employment at anytime for cause.
 4.      (a)    Effective January 1, 1996, Horgan shall be placed on 
 administrative leave, and will remain on leave through January 31, 1998.

<PAGE>

$200,000 during 1997, and $10,000 for the month of January, 1998.  
Such payments shall be made on a regular monthly payroll basis; 
provided, however, that PPG shall have the right to terminate Horgan's 
leave in the event Horgan obtains any type of employment, including 
consulting, during the period of administrative leave which is adverse to 
PPG.  The parties agree that PPG shall have the right to determine 
whether or not any employment activity of Horgan's is adverse; but such 
determination shall be reasonable under the circumstances.
	 (c)    During the period of administrative leave:
	With the exception of PPG's Salary Continuance Plan, Long-Term 
Disability Plan and Supplemental Long-Term Disability Plan, Horgan 
shall be eligible to participate in PPG's Employee Benefit Plans, in 
accordance with the provisions of such plans as they apply to active 
salaried employees; and
	Payments made in accordance with paragraphs 3 and 4(b) above shall be 
deemed to include any payments which might be due under PPG's 
Vacation Policy.
	 (d)    In the event of Horgan's death prior to February 1, 1998:
	Payments described in paragraphs 3 and 4(b) above shall cease with the 
payment due for the month in which Horgan's death occurs and any 
unpaid amounts shall be forfeited; and

<PAGE>
	Survivor benefits shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of 
PPG's Employee Benefit Plans; provided, however, that in all cases, life 
insurance benefits shall be determined by using a base salary of 
$300,000.  In addition, PPG shall guarantee that the amount of the 
survivor annuity payable as the Active Employees' Pension Surviving 
Spouse Benefit shall equal a minimum of $7,000/month.  Such monthly 
annuity may be commenced as early as February 1, 1998.
 5.      (a)    Horgan shall retire effective February 1, 1998.  PPG agrees to 
 provide a total pension benefit of $10,000/month, payable as a straight-life 
annuity.  Horgan shall have the opportunity to elect any of the Joint and 
Survivor Options available under the PPG Industries, Inc. Retirement 
Income Plan at any time, and from time to time, within the 90-day 
period immediately preceding his benefit commencement date.  
Examples of the effect of such elections are attached hereto.
(b)     Horgan shall be eligible for retiree benefits in accordance with the 
provisions of PPG's Employee Benefit Plans as such apply to retired 
salaried employees.
6.      In the event PPG terminates Horgan's employment for cause, as described 
in paragraph 3, or in the event PPG terminates Horgan's administrative leave, 
as described in paragraph 4(b), no further payments of any kind shall be due 
under this contract and Horgan shall be entitled to benefits, if any, under 
the Employee Benefit Plans sponsored by PPG solely in accordance with the 
provisions of such plans.

<PAGE>
 7.     Horgan agrees to abide by the provisions of the Employee Agreement 
 dated August 14, 1975, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit A, and which 
 forms a part of this Agreement, prohibiting him from divulging trade secrets 
 and other proprietary information to any third party whether or not an 
 employer.  To the extent not covered in said Employee Agreement or in item 5 
 hereof, Horgan further agrees that, for a period of two years from the date 
 of this Agreement, Horgan will not:  (a) disclose, reveal or otherwise share 
 with any competitor of PPG, any proprietary, technological, market, operating, 
 or financial strategy information which is unpublished; or (b) form any 
 business where such information would be used by him in any manner.
 Notwithstanding (a) above, Horgan may, as necessary, comment generally 
 on successes achieved by the business unit under his direction, on 
 the basis described in Exhibit B.
 8.     Horgan agrees to waive any claim to employment beyond that described 
 herein with PPG or any of its subsidiaries and, further, agrees that as a 
 specific consideration hereof, he will not seek future employment with PPG 
 or any of its subsidiaries.
 9.     For and in consideration of the mutual terms expressed herein, PPG, for 
 itself, its affiliates, predecessors, successors, assigns, directors, 
 officers, shareholders, agents and/or employees, does hereby release, 
 relieve and forever discharge Horgan of and from any and all claims, demands, 
 actions, causes of action of whatever nature, kind or character, which it 
 may have by reason of or based upon Horgan's employment with PPG.

<PAGE>
 PPG does not release or waive rights or claims that may arise after the 
 date this Agreement is executed.
 10.     For and in consideration of the mutual terms expressed herein, Horgan, 
 for himself, his heirs, family, executors, administrators, representatives 
 or assigns, does hereby release, relieve and forever discharge PPG, its 
 employees, their heirs and estates, officers, directors, shareholders, agents, 
 affiliates, predecessors, successors and assigns from all claims and/or causes 
 of action, known or unknown, which Horgan may have or claim to have against 
 PPG arising from or during his employment with PPG or as a result of his 
 termination of employment, as contemplated herein; and Horgan agrees not to 
 assert any such claims or causes of action against PPG.  This Release and 
 Waiver includes, but is not limited to, claims arising under federal, state or 
 local laws prohibiting employment discrimination (specifically included are 
 those claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended) or 
 claims growing out of any legal restrictions on PPG's right to terminate its 
 employees. Horgan does not release or waive rights or claims that may arise 
 after the date this Agreement is executed.
11.     Horgan has carefully read and fully understands the provisions of this 
Agreement, including the Release and Waiver of claims, and Horgan 
acknowledges having at least twenty-one (21) days to consider this Agreement, 
the release and waiver of rights, and to consult with an attorney prior to 

<PAGE>
executing this Agreement.  Horgan acknowledges that his Agreement was 
provided for his review on February 10, 1995.
The parties also understand that Horgan shall have seven (7) days following the 
execution of this Agreement to revoke it.  Accordingly, this Agreement shall 
become effective on the eighth day following the date of execution.  If Horgan 
chooses to revoke this Agreement, he shall notify Russell L. Crane, Senior Vice 
President, Human Resources and Administration, in writing of his revocation.
12.     PPG and Horgan agree that they and their counsel shall maintain the 
terms of this Agreement in complete confidentiality.  To that end, Horgan shall 
not discuss the financial terms of this Agreement with anyone other than 
members of his immediate family and such professional advisors as he may from 
time to time engage for the purpose of assisting him in making decisions 
concerning career, taxes or legal matters.  PPG may disclose the facts and 
terms of this Agreement to its officers, directors, employees, agents, 
attorneys and professional advisors as may be necessary for the conduct of its 
business.  PPG and Horgan agree to hold persons to whom the fact and terms of 
this Agreement are disclosed to the same terms of confidentiality as apply to 
PPG and Horgan.
13.     This Agreement is made and entered into in the Commonwealth of 
Pennsylvania and shall, in all respects, be interpreted, enforced and governed 
under the laws of said Commonwealth.  
14.     Should any provision of this Agreement be declared or be determined by 
any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal or invalid, the validity of 
the remaining parts, terms or provisions of it shall not be affected thereby 
and said 

<PAGE>
illegal or invalid part, term or provision shall be deemed not to be a part of 
this Agreement.
15.     This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between Horgan and PPG 
and fully supersedes any and all prior agreements or understandings between 
them pertaining to the subject matter hereof.
16.     This Agreement may be modified or amended only by the written 
agreement of Horgan and PPG.

Mr. John J. Horgan
Senior Vice President, Fiber Glass
33 North

Dear John:

	This will confirm our several discussions concerning your 
freedom to describe the fiber glass business unit and its 
achievements in resumes you may prepare and to persons with whom 
you may need to discuss your PPG career and accomplishments.  As 
you know, generalized information specific to the fiber glass 
business unit is provided to various analysts even though we 
regard it as an integral part of the Glass segment.  Attached are 
examples of some of the data recently used.  There will be no 
problem with your using such data.  In addition, use of 
comparative data such as percent increase in earnings, percent 
reduction in costs, and percent revenue growth are all acceptable 
as is the rough size of the total business as a percent of 
overall Glass Group.  You may also describe the business within 
the range of analysts' estimates but shall not affirm the details 
in such estimates.

	I believe these clarifications will meet your needs.  If 
not, it is always possible to review any data you wish to use in 
advance of its publication.

					Sincerely,


					/s/ Guy A. Zoghby
