              REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors of Amoco Foam Products Company

In  our  opinion, the accompanying statements  of  net  assets
available for benefits (with fund information) and the related
statement  of  changes  in net assets available  for  benefits
(with  fund  information)  present  fairly,  in  all  material
respects,  the net assets available for benefits of the  Amoco
Foam  Products Company Chippewa Falls Savings Plan at December
31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in net assets available for
benefits  for the year ended December 31, 1995, in  conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements  are  the  responsibility of  Amoco  Foam  Products
Company's  management; our responsibility  is  to  express  an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.  We
conducted  our  audits of these statements in accordance  with
generally  accepted auditing standards which require  that  we
plan  and  perform  the audits 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   audits  provide  a  reasonable  basis  for  the  opinion
expressed above.

Our  audits  were  performed for the  purpose  of  forming  an
opinion  on the basic financial statements taken as  a  whole.
The  fund information in the statement of net assets available
for  benefits (with fund information) and statement of changes
in  net  assets available for benefits (with fund information)
is  presented for purposes of additional analysis rather  than
to  present the net assets available for benefits and  changes
in  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 statements,  and,
in  our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects  in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                  CHIPPEWA FALLS SAVINGS PLAN
          __________________________________________

                 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  Description of the Plan:

      Amoco  Foam  Products  Company  (the  "Company")  established
the  Amoco  Foam  Products Company Chippewa Falls  Hourly  Employee
Savings  Plan  (the  "Plan") effective January  1,  1993,  pursuant
to   a  collective  bargaining  agreement.   Effective  March   24,
1995,  the  name  of  the  Plan  was  changed  to  the  Amoco  Foam
Products  Company  Chippewa Falls Savings  Plan.   The  purpose  of
the  Plan  is  to  encourage eligible employees to  regularly  save
part   of  their  earnings  and  to  assist  them  in  accumulating
additional  security  for  their  retirement.   The  Plan  provides
that  both  employee  and  Company  contributions  are  held  in  a
trust   by   an   independent   trustee   for   the   benefit    of
participating  employees.   Norwest Bank  Wisconsin,  N.A.  is  the
trustee  of  the  Plan (the "Trustee").  The Company  reserves  the
right  to  amend  or  terminate the Plan at  any  time.   The  Plan
was  amended  during  1995 to change the  Plan's  name  and  change
the  priority  of  payout  to  first, the  participant's  surviving
spouse,   and   if   no   surviving   spouse   exists,   then   the
participant's  estate.   The  Plan is  subject  to  the  provisions
of   the   Employee  Retirement  Income  Security   Act   of   1974
("ERISA").

       Under  the  Plan,  participating  employees  can  invest   a
total  of  13  percent of pre-tax and/or after-tax  earnings.   The
first  three  percent  will be matched by the  Company  at  a  rate
of  $.50  for  every  $1.00 contributed by the  employee.   Company
contributions  are  automatically  invested  in  the  same  way  as
participants' contributions are invested.

      There  were  223  participants in the Plan  at  December  31,
1995.   Participants   are  fully  vested  in   their   contributed
accounts.    Vesting   in   Company   contribution   accounts    is
dependent  upon  specific  criteria  as  described  in   the   Plan
document.    Forfeited   Company   contributions   are   used    to
decrease the Company contributions.

        Trustee    fees,   brokerage   commissions,    and    other
transaction  fees  and expenses related to the  Amoco  Stock  Fund,
the  Equity  Fund,  the  Money Market Fund and  the  Balanced  Fund
are   generally  paid  out  of  those  respective  funds.    As   a
result,  the  returns  on those investments are  net  of  the  fees
and  expenses  of  the managers of those funds  and  certain  other
brokerage  commissions  and other fees  and  expenses  incurred  in
connection   with   those  investment  elections.    Administrative
expenses  are  charged  to the Plan in accordance  with  the  terms
of  the  Plan.  Administrative expenses prior to October  1,  1995,
were paid by the Company.

           NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

       The  contributions  are  invested  in  up  to  four  savings
options  as  determined  by  participants.   The  participant   can
direct  the  Trustee  to  invest in one or more  of  the  following
options:  Amoco  Stock Fund; Equity Fund; Money  Market  Fund;  and
Balanced Fund.


Amoco Stock Fund

       Amoco  Stock  Fund's  primary  investment  objective  is  to
purchase  shares  of  Amoco  Corporation  ("Amoco")  common  stock.
Amounts  not  invested  in Amoco stock are  held  as  cash  or  are
used   to  purchase  short-term  investments  including  short-term
investment  funds  of  the  Trustee.   Dividends  paid   on   Amoco
common  stock  held  in  the Amoco Stock Fund  are  used  primarily
to  purchase  additional shares of Amoco common stock  or  to  meet
the cash demands of the Amoco Stock Fund.

       The  percentage  of  assets  of  the  Amoco  Stock  Fund  in
investments  other  than  Amoco  Corporation  common  stock   under
normal  circumstances  is  less  than  5  percent.   However,  this
figure   may   change  as  transactions  are  made   and   may   be
substantially higher or lower at a given time.

      Shares  of  common stock held in the fund and  dividends  and
other   distributions   on  common  stock  are   not   specifically
allocated     to     participant    accounts.     Instead,     each
participant's  investment  in the Amoco  Stock  Fund  is  based  on
the  proportion  of  his  or her investment  in  the  fund  to  all
Plan  participants.   The  manager  of  the  Amoco  Stock  Fund  is
Norwest Bank Wisconsin, N.A.

Equity Fund

      Amounts  invested  in  the Equity  Fund  are  placed  in  the
Norwest   Advantage  Mutual  Funds'  Index  Fund,  a  mutual   fund
managed  by  Norwest  Investment  Management  ("Norwest"),  a  part
of  Norwest  Bank  Minnesota N.A.  The  goal  of  the  fund  is  to
create  a  portfolio  of  stocks that  duplicates  the  Standard  &
Poor's  ("S&P")  500  Index return with  minimum  deviations.   The
portfolio   strategy   provides  for   the   purchase   of   stocks
representing  over  96  percent of the  pro  rata  weighted  market
values  of  the  S&P  500  Index.  As of  December  31,  1995,  the
Equity  Fund  represented  96 percent  of  the  pro  rata  weighted
market  values  of  the S&P 500 Index.  In order to  reduce  costs,
transactions  are  made only to reproduce the  composition  of  the
index,  to  invest  cash  received from dividends  or  buyouts,  to
invest   additions   to   the  fund   and   to   raise   cash   for
withdrawals.

           NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

Money Market Fund

      Amounts  invested  in  the Money  Market  Fund  are  used  to
purchase  units  of  the  Norwest  Short-Term  Investment  Fund,  a
bank  collective  fund  managed by  Norwest.   The  manager's  goal
is  to  select  a  portfolio of maturities that offers  a  rate  of
return  higher  than  90-day U.S. Treasury bills.   Assets  of  the
Norwest  Short-Term  Investment Fund are held  in  cash  or  short-
term  securities,  bonds,  notes, shares  of  money  market  mutual
funds,    domestic    and    foreign   bank    deposits,    bankers
acceptances,  repurchase  agreements, and  floating  rates  or  put
issues.   The  portfolio guidelines state  that  no  more  than  20
percent  of  the  fund will be held in instruments maturing  in  91
days  or  more.   For added liquidity, at least 20 percent  of  the
fund  must  mature  or become available on demand  each  day.   The
fund  manager  is  responsible  for  purchasing  the  selection  of
securities for the fund.

Balanced Fund

       Amounts   invested  in  the  Balanced  Fund  are   used   to
purchase  shares  of  the Norwest Advantage  Mutual  Funds'  Growth
Balanced  Fund.   The  goal  of the Balanced  Fund  is  to  provide
the  investor  with  capital appreciation  through  quality  equity
securities   and   to   moderate  risk  by   holding   intermediate
maturity  bonds.   The fund's strategic asset  allocation  goal  is
65   percent   invested  in  equity  securities  and   35   percent
invested   in  bonds.   The  adviser,  Norwest,  can   change   the
allocation by as much as 15 percentage points.

      The  equity  securities portion of the fund  emphasizes  long
term  capital  appreciation  while attempting  to  minimize  return
volatility.   Five  distinct  equity  styles,  advised  by  Norwest
and   sub-advisers,  Peregrine  Capital  Management  and   Schroder
Capital  Management,  are  used to insure  that  the  portfolio  is
diversified.   In   addition,  no  single   equity   security   can
compose  more  than  six  percent of the  equity  security  portion
of the portfolio.

      The  second  component  of the fund  is  intermediate  bonds.
Norwest   and   Peregrine  Capital  Management,   as   sub-adviser,
manage  this  portion  of  the fund and seeks  to  offer  a  return
greater  than  the  Shearson  Lehman  Intermediate  Government  and
Corporate Bond Index.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Method of Accounting

      The  financial  statements of the  Plan  are  prepared  under
the accrual method of accounting.

Investment Valuation

      All  investments  of the funds are stated at  fair  value  as
determined  by  quoted market prices.  Realized  gains  and  losses
are   recognized   upon   the   disposition   of   investments   by
comparing  the  proceeds,  or market value,  to  the  average  cost
(see Note 4).


3.   Investments:

       The  composition  of  various  savings  plan  funds  as   of

4.   Sales, Redemptions, and Distributions of Securities:

     The aggregate of income realized from sales, redemptions,
and  distributions of securities in participants' accounts for
the year ended December 31, 1995, was as follows:

                                     Average     Gains
                     Proceeds         Cost      Realized
Amoco Stock Fund    $    1,174     $    1,117  $      57
Equity Fund             20,433         17,821      2,612
Balanced Fund           41,680         38,689      2,991
  Total             $   63,287     $   57,627  $   5,660
                                               
     Average cost is calculated as the weighted average of the
fair value of the disposed securities at the beginning of  the
year or acquisition cost if acquired during the year.

5.   Taxes:

      The Company and the Trustee believe that the Plan qualifies
under Section 401(a) of the Internal  Revenue  Code  of  1986, as
amended (the "Code") and that the related Trust  is  exempt  from
Federal income taxes  under  Section  501(a)  of  the  Code.  The 
Company amended the Plan during 1995 as described in Note 1.  The
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
           NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
                               
Company  reserves the right to amend, modify or terminate  the
Plan  at any time in accordance with ERISA.  The Company  also
reserves the right to make any amendment necessary to maintain
the qualification of the Plan and Trust.

      Under  current  Federal tax law, it is expected  that  a
participant  will  not be subject to income taxes  on  amounts
contributed  by  the  Company or  on  income  accrued  to  the
participant's  account until part or all of the  participant's
account is withdrawn or distributed.  Gains and losses on  the
sale  of  securities within a participant's  account  are  not
reportable for income tax purposes unless withdrawn.

6.   Unrealized Appreciation on Investments:

      Unrealized  appreciation on investments at December  31,
1995,  amounted  to  $178,244 and has been  reflected  in  the
statement  of  changes  in net assets available  for  benefits
(with  fund  information) for the period.  Such  amounts  were
computed in a manner similar to that discussed in Note  4  for
computing   realized  income  from  sales,   redemptions   and
distributions to securities.

7.   Withdrawals and Forfeitures:

      Distributions  to  participants are reported  at  market
value  at  the  date  of distribution.   For  the  year  ended
December  31,  1995,  the  balance of  participants'  accounts
withdrawn totaled $57,212. Disbursements in cash in settlement
of  such accounts amounted to $57,134.  The difference of  $78
represented  the  total amount of the Company's  contributions
forfeited during the period.
