Item # 4: Changes in Registrant's Certified Accountant
On February 17, 1997, General Parcel Service, Inc. engaged Price
Waterhouse L.L.P. to succeed Grenadier, Collins, Mencke &
Howard, LLP as its Certified Accountant. The change in
Certified Accountants resulted from the Registrant's announced
plans to form an Atlanta based holding company and seek to
acquire other trucking companies. The auditor's reports for the
last two fiscal years did not contain adverse opinions or
disclaimers of opinion, nor were they modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. The
decision to change accountants has been passed upon by the Board
of Directors. There were no disagreements with Grenadier,
Collins, Mencke & Howard, LLP on any matter of accounting
principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
auditing scope or procedure.
Item # 7: Exhibits
Exhibit Letter from Grenadier, Collins, Mencke & Howard, LLP
stating their agreement with the disclosure in Item # 4.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Security Exchange Act of
1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on
its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
