      Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Auditors


Board of Directors
Reynolds Metals Company

We  have  audited the accompanying statements of net  assets
available  for plan benefits of the Reynolds Metals  Company
Savings  and  Investment Plan for Salaried Employees  as  of
December  31,  1998 and 1997, and the related  statement  of
changes  in net assets available for plan benefits  for  the
year ended December 31, 1998. These financial statements are
the  responsibility  of the management  of  Reynolds  Metals
Company,  the  Plan's  sponsor.  Our  responsibility  is  to
express  an opinion on these financial statements  based  on
our audits.

We   conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally
accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we
plan  and  perform the audit to obtain reasonable  assurance
about  whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test  basis,
evidence  supporting  the amounts  and  disclosures  in  the
financial  statements. An audit also includes assessing  the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management,  as  well  as evaluating the  overall  financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In  our opinion, the financial statements referred to  above
present  fairly, in all material respects,  the  net  assets
available for plan benefits of the Plan at December 31, 1998
and  1997,  and the changes in its net assets available  for
plan  benefits  for  the year ended December  31,  1998,  in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our  audits  were performed for the purpose  of  forming  an
opinion  on  the financial statements taken as a whole.  The
accompanying supplemental schedule of loans as  of  December
31,  1998,  is  presented  for  the  purpose  of  additional
analysis  and  is  not  a  required part  of  the  financial
statements but is supplementary information required by  the
Department  of  Labor's Rules and Regulations for  Reporting
and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act   of   1974.    This  supplemental   schedule   is   the
responsibility   of   the  Plan's  management.    The   Fund
Information  in the statements of net assets  available  for
plan  benefits  and the statement of changes in  net  assets
available  for  plan benefits is presented for  purposes  of
additional  analysis rather than to present the  net  assets
available  for  plan  benefits and  changes  in  net  assets
available  for plan benefits of each fund. The  supplemental
schedule  and  Fund  Information  have  been  subjected   to
auditing  procedures applied in our audits of the  financial
statements  and, in our opinion, are fairly  stated  in  all
material  respects  in relation to the financial  statements
taken as a whole.

                  Reynolds Metals Company
     Savings and Investment Plan for Salaried Employees

                Notes to Financial Statements

                   (Dollars in Thousands)


1. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of income and
expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

The accounting records of the Reynolds Metals Company
Savings and Investment Plan for Salaried Employees ("Plan")
are maintained on the accrual basis.  All securities
transactions are recorded as of the trade date.

Investments in Reynolds Metals Company Common Stock (stated
at fair value) are valued at the last reported sales price
on the last business day of the year.  Investments in mutual
funds are measured by quoted market prices and are reported
at aggregate fair value at year-end.  Guaranteed investment
contracts with insurance companies are reported at "contract
value," which equals cost plus accrued income.  Structured
investment contracts are reported at fair value, which in
the case of such contracts equals contract value.

2. Summary of Significant Plan Provisions

Reynolds Metals Company (the "Company") established the Plan
effective July 1, 1978, covering salaried employees of the
Company and certain of its subsidiaries and affiliates. The
Plan is a defined contribution plan under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") and
qualifies as a "cash or deferred" arrangement under Section
401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. A complete description
of the Plan is contained in the Summary Plan Description and
in the Plan document, copies of which are available from the
Company.

Plan participation is available to eligible employees who
have completed 30 days of service and is voluntary. A
participant is entitled to make payroll contributions to the
Plan in specified amounts ranging from 1% to 16% of
compensation in 1% increments.

2. Summary of Significant Plan Provisions (continued)

The Company contributes an amount equal to 50% of each
participating employee's payroll contributions up to 6% of
compensation. The Company may also contribute up to an
additional 50% of each participating employee's payroll
contributions up to 6% of compensation. The Company did not
elect to make an additional matching contribution for 1998
or 1997.

Participants may contribute 1% to 16% (in 1% increments) of
any profit sharing award or gainsharing payment received.
Such contributions are not matched by the Company.

Participants may elect to make their contributions on a
before or after tax basis or a combination thereof. Company
matching contributions are made on a "pretax" basis. Highly
compensated participants may be required to reduce the
amount of "pretax" contributions made to or held by the Plan
on their behalf to permit the Plan to satisfy the
nondiscrimination requirements of Section 401(k) of the
Internal Revenue Code.

Participants in the Plan are fully vested in their account
balances. Withdrawals and distributions are handled in
accordance with the Plan provisions and are subject to
certain regulatory restrictions. The trustee holds all of
the Plan's investment assets and executes transactions
therein.

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the
Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its
contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject
to the provisions of ERISA.

The Company is the Plan administrator and bears the related
costs, except for investment related and trustee fees, which
are paid by the Plan.

3. Commingled Master Trust Investments

All of the investments of the Plan as of December 31, 1998
and 1997 were held in a Master Trust under a Master Trust
Agreement between Reynolds Metals Company and The Northern
Trust Company, as trustee, and are commingled with the
assets of three other savings plans of the Company and one
of its subsidiaries. Net assets and net investment gains
(losses) from the Master Trust are allocated to
participating plans based on the aggregate account balances
of individual participants in each plan.

3. Commingled Master Trust Investments (continued)

Substantially all of the assets held in the Diversified
Equities Fund and the Balanced Investment Fund are invested
in the Vanguard Institutional Index Fund and the Vanguard
STAR Fund, respectively. These are no-load mutual funds held
and managed by The Vanguard Group of Investment Companies.
Substantially all of the assets held in the International
Equities Fund and the Small Capitalization Equities Fund are
invested in the T. Rowe Price Foreign Equity Fund and the T.
Rowe Price Small-Cap Value Fund, respectively. These are
no-load mutual funds held and managed by T. Rowe Price
Associates, Inc.

The assets held in the Interest Income Fund generally are
invested in guaranteed investment contracts ("GICs") at a
fixed rate of return and structured investment contracts
("SICs") with various insurance companies and banks. SICs
represent a diversified portfolio of high grade investments
held in the name of the Plan in conjunction with a
corresponding contract with the issuer of the SIC to provide
a fixed or variable rate of return (based on the investment
experience and reset quarterly) on the cost of the
investment. GICs and SICs generally provide for the full
repayment of principal and interest. Upon the occurrence of
certain events (including layoffs by the Company or its
applicable affiliates), however, market value of the GIC or
SIC, if lower than its book value, may be repaid (a "Market
Value Adjustment"). Currently, in the opinion of the
Company, the likelihood of a material loss to the Plan as a
result of such a Market Value Adjustment is remote. Interest
is credited to participants' accounts on the dollar-weighted
average (blended rate) basis. The annual rate of return on
these contracts during 1998 and 1997 was approximately 6.3%
and 6.3%, respectively. The current yield on December 31,
1998 was 6.3% (6.4% on December 31, 1997). The fair value of
the Plan's GICs approximates contract value.

No individual SIC or GIC exceeded 5% of the Master Trust's
assets, except for a SIC with Transamerica Life with a
balance of approximately $41,000 at December 31, 1998
($39,000 at December 31, 1997).

Cash and cash equivalents of the Master Trust are invested
in a short-term investment fund managed by The Northern
Trust Company.

3. Commingled Master Trust Investments (continued)

In April 1991, Executive Life Insurance Company ("Executive
Life"), the issuer of one of the guaranteed investment
contracts then held by the Plan, was placed into
conservatorship. The Company and the Plan entered into an
agreement on August 1, 1991, whereby the Company was
obligated to provide interest-free loans to the Plan for any
amounts due under the guaranteed investment contract which
Executive Life failed to pay. As of December 31, 1998, the
Company had advanced to the Plan all amounts due under this
contract. The Plan is obligated to repay the loans to the
extent amounts are subsequently recovered from, or on behalf
of, Executive Life, and any remaining balance will be
forgiven by the Company. As of December 31, 1998, no
additional recoveries from Executive Life are expected.

During 1998 and 1997, certain assets of the Plan were
transferred into other plans and from other plans of the
Company as a result of employee transfers. There was no
effect on any participant's accounts as a result of the
transfers.

The  Plan  has  received  a determination  letter  from  the
Internal  Revenue Service dated February 20,  1996,  stating
that  the  Plan  is qualified under Section  401(a)  of  the
Internal  Revenue  Code  (the "Code")  and,  therefore,  the
related trust is exempt from taxation.  Once qualified,  the
Plan  is required to operate in conformity with the Code  to
maintain its qualification.  The Company has indicated  that
it  will  take the necessary steps, if any, to maintain  the
Plan's qualified status.
