                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Participants and Administrator
of the Savings Plan for Employees of Baroid Corporation

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets available for
benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for
benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available
for benefits of the Savings Plan for Employees of Baroid Corporation (Plan)
at December 31, 1994, and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these statements in
accordance with  generally accepted auditing standards which 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, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The additional information included in
the supplemental schedules as listed in the accompanying index is presented
for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic
financial statements but is additional information required by ERISA. The
Fund Information in the statement of net assets available for benefits and
the statement of changes in net assets available for 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 benefits
of each fund. The supplemental schedules and the Fund Information for the
year ended December 31, 1994 have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion,
are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Employee Benefits Administration
  Committee of Baroid Corporation

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for
benefits of the Savings Plan for Employees of Baroid Corporation as of
December 31, 1993. This financial statement is the responsibility of
Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this
financial statement based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above presents fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as
of December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statement taken as a whole. The Fund Information in the statement
of net assets available for benefits is presented for purposes of additional
analysis rather than to present the net assets available for benefits of each
fund. The Fund Information has been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audits of the basic financial statement and, in our opinion,
is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

SAVINGS PLAN FOR EMPLOYEES OF BAROID CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- - - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.      PLAN DESCRIPTION

        GENERAL

        The Savings Plan for Employees of Baroid Corporation (the Plan) was
        established to provide eligible employees of Baroid Corporation (Baroid)
        with a convenient way to save on a regular and long-term basis.  The
        Plan was established in accordance with Section 401(k) of the Internal
        Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and is subject to the provisions of
        the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

        On January 19, 1994, an agreement to merge Dresser Industries, Inc.
        (Dresser) and Baroid was approved by shareholders of the companies.
        Under terms of the merger, each share of Baroid common stock was
        converted into the right to receive 0.40 shares of Dresser common stock
        on January 21, 1994.  All Baroid common stock was converted to Dresser
        common stock and all transactions in employer stock subsequent to
        January 21, 1994 are in Dresser common stock.

        Effective June 1, 1995, the Plan was spun-off into three components,
        component one consisting of hourly employees, component two consisting
        of salaried employees, and component three consisting of non resident
        aliens and union employees. These components were merged into the
        Dresser Industries, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan-B, the Dresser
        Industries, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan-A, and the Dresser Industries,
        Inc. Deferred Savings Plan (collectively, the Dresser Plans),
        respectively, pursuant to a Merger Agreement which preserved the
        protected features of the Plan which must be preserved under ERISA.
        Effective as of such date, the Dresser Plans assumed the assets and
        obligations for plan benefits of all plan participants under the Plan.

        PLAN PROVISIONS

        The following description of significant plan provisions is provided for
        general information purposes.  The provisions described below were in
        effect during the two years ended December 31, 1994 and through June 1,
        1995, the date of the spin-off and merger.  They do not reflect the
        provisions of the Dresser Plans.  Participants should refer to the plan
        documents for more complete information.

        Employees of Baroid and certain of Baroid's subsidiaries were generally
        eligible to voluntarily participate in the Plan after 12 months of
        employment.  Active participants could contribute between 1% to 22% of
        eligible compensation in increments of .5%.  The maximum basic before-
        tax contribution was 12%.

        In accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 402(g), participants
        were limited in the amount of salary reduction contributions which
        they could make to the Plan ($9,240 and $8,994 annual maximum for 1994
        and 1993, respectively).  Highly compensated participants could be
        required to adjust the amount of their contributions in order to permit
        the Plan to satisfy the nondiscrimination requirements of sections
        401(k) and 401(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

        Baroid contributed a discretionary amount of matching contributions
        determined annually, wholly or partially contingent upon the attainment
        of certain profit objectives.  This match applied to a maximum of 3% of
        a contributing participant's compensation.

        Baroid employees could receive an annual retirement contribution of up
        to 5% of their annual eligible compensation.  The retirement
        contribution, which was made wholly or partially contingent upon the
        attainment of certain profit objectives, was allocated to all employees
        eligible to participate in the Plan.  In addition, these employees could
        also receive a Medisave contribution from Baroid, which was contingent
        upon Baroid's profit objectives.

        Vesting in employer contributions was 100% upon death, retirement, or
        disability.  A participant with less than three years of vested service
        had no vested interest in employer contributions, was 50% vested
        following three years, 75% vested following four years, and 100% vested
        in all employer contributions following five years of service.
        Forfeitures of the unvested portion of employer contributions occurred
        if a participant terminated employment prior to the full-vesting period
        or if a participant or beneficiary, to whom a distribution was payable,
        could not be located within one year of the date on which such
        distribution became payable.  Amounts forfeited were used to reduce
        employer contributions.

        Substantially all administrative expenses were paid from Plan assets.

        Employees could elect to have their own contributions invested in one or
        more funds, whose investment objectives were as follows:

        Dresser Stock Fund - invested primarily in Dresser common stock; Merrill
        Lynch Retirement Preservation Trust - invested primarily in GICs issued
        by insurance companies and bank investment contracts; Merrill Lynch
        Global Holdings, Inc. Class A Shares - managed with the objective of
        seeking the highest total investment return consistent with prudent risk
        through worldwide investment in an internationally diversified portfolio
        of securities; Merrill Lynch Federal Securities Trust - managed with the
        objective of seeking a high current return through investments in U.S.
        government and government agency securities; Merrill Lynch Capital Fund
        Inc. Class A Shares - managed with the objective of seeking the highest
        total investment return consistent with prudent risk, investing in
        equity, debt, and convertible securities; and the  Merrill Lynch Basic
        Value Fund Inc. Class A Shares - managed with the objective of seeking
        growth and, secondarily, income.

        In addition to the funds above, two additional equity investment funds
        were maintained.  The NL Stock Fund invested in NL Industries, Inc. (NL)
        common stock and the Tremont Stock Fund invested in Tremont Corporation
        (Tremont) common stock.  Contributions or transfers into the NL and
        Tremont Stock Funds were no longer allowed beginning in 1990.

        Prior to the investment in securities of a type consistent with the
        objectives of any fund, cash was temporarily invested in the Merrill
        Lynch CMA Money Fund, which invested in securities with maturities of
        less than one year issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any
        agency of instrumentality thereof or bank savings accounts.

        Participants could transfer all or part of their account balance in any
        fund to any other fund on a daily basis, subject to certain limitations.
        Only one transfer was permitted out of the NL or Tremont Stock Funds
        which had to be a transfer of the total value of the participant's
        account in that fund.

        Participants could change the investment direction of current
        contributions as of any business day.

        Distributions to employees occurred during active service or upon
        termination and, under prescribed circumstances, could be in various
        forms (lump sum, installments, annuity, or combinations thereof, and/or
        employer securities).

        Participants could borrow from their vested account balances.  The two
        types of loans available were a general purpose loan and a principal
        residence loan.  General purpose loans were repaid to the Plan over a
        period of time not to exceed five years and principal residence loans
        were repaid over a period not to exceed 20 years.  The maximum loan
        amount available to each participant was 50% of their vested account
        balance not to exceed $50,000.  In the event a participant failed to
        make a principal or interest payment, the loan was in default and the
        outstanding loan balance was treated as a taxable distribution.  The
        interest rate charged on loans made prior to September 1989 was
        composite prime rate.  The interest rate charged on subsequent loans was
        a composite prime rate plus 1%.

2.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        The financial statements of the Plan have been prepared in accordance
        with generally accepted accounting principles.  The following is a
        summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Plan.

        INVESTMENTS

        Investments trusteed with Merrill Lynch Trust Company ("Merrill Lynch"
        or "Trustee") are recorded at fair market value based upon the quoted
        market price reported on the last trading day of the period for those
        securities listed on a national securities exchange; listed securities
        for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the mean
        between the last reported bid and asked prices; and other investments
        not having an established market are valued at fair  value as of that
        day determined in good faith by the outside advisor responsible for that
        investment.  Short-term investments are stated at cost.

        Purchases and sales of investments are reflected on a trade-date basis.
        Gains or losses on sales of securities are based on average cost.

        CONTRIBUTIONS

        Contributions from employees are recorded in the period the employer
        makes payroll deductions from Plan participants.  Employer matching
        contributions are recorded in the same period as the respective employee
        contributions.

        LOANS TO PARTICIPANTS

        Loan distributions to participants, as well as principal and interest
        payments from participants, are accounted for as interfund transfers in
        the financial statements.

        INVESTMENT INCOME

        Income from investments is recorded as earned on an accrual basis.
        Dividend income is recorded at the ex dividend date.

        CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

        The Plan's assets, other than Dresser stock, NL stock, and Tremont
        stock, are invested with investment funds managed by Merrill Lynch.

3.      RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

        The stock funds, Dresser Stock Fund, Baroid Stock Fund, NL Stock Fund
        and Tremont Stock Fund, invest primarily in the securities of Dresser,
        Baroid, NL, and Tremont.  The purchases and sales/distributions of these
        securities for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 were as

4.      TAX STATUS

        Management believes that prior to the merger with the Dresser Plans, the
        Plan was qualified under section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of
        1986, as amended; as such, the trust is exempt from federal income tax
        under section 501(a).  The Internal Revenue Service granted a favorable
        letter of determination to the Plan on December 3, 1993 and September
        16, 1994.  Generally, employer contributions to a qualified plan are
        deductible by the employer when made.  Earnings of the trust are tax
        exempt and participants are not taxed on their benefits until withdrawn
        from the Plan.  The Plan has complied with the fidelity bonding
        requirements of ERISA.
