                        AMENDMENT NO. 9 TO SCHEDULE 13D

     This amended statement relates to the Common Stock, par value $1.00 per
share (the "Shares"), of Stone & Webster, Incorporated, a Delaware corporation
(the "Company").  Item 4 of a statement on Schedule 13D (as previously
amended) filed by Cilluffo Associates, L.P. ("Cilluffo Associates"), Zenith
Associates, L.P. ("Zenith"), Frank and Irja Cilluffo Foundation, Inc. (the
"Foundation"), Frank J. A. Cilluffo and General Edward C. Meyer (Ret.)
(collectively, the "Reporting Persons") is amended as follows:

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.
         ---------------------- 

No change except for the addition of the following:

     Cilluffo Associates, by letter dated March 28, 1996, has withdrawn its
request pursuant to a letter dated November 20, 1995 that the Company include a
shareholder proposal in its proxy material for the Company's 1996 annual
meeting. In connection with such withdrawal, Cilluffo Associates noted that,
while the Board of Directors of the Company has not committed to take the
actions included in the proposal, certain steps taken by the Board indicate to
Cilluffo Associates that the proposal may be unnecessary.

     In addition, the Company has agreed that, in the event that Cilluffo 
Associates determines to submit a similar proposal for inclusion in the 1997 
proxy statement, the Company will include such proposal.

     The text of such March 28, 1996 letter is filed herewith as Exhibit A.

Mr. H. Kerner Smith
President and Chief Executive Officer
Stone & Webster, Incorporated
250 West 34th Street
New York, New York 10119

Dear Mr. Smith:

     This letter will confirm our prior discussion that Cilluffo Associates,
L.P. ("Cilluffo Associates") is withdrawing its stockholder proposal previously
submitted under SEC Rule 14a-8 and that, as a result, Stone & Webster,
Incorporated ("S&W") need not include such proposal in the proxy statement for
this year's annual stockholder meeting.  While the Board of Directors of S&W has
not committed to take the actions included in the proposal, certain steps taken
by the Board indicate to Cilluffo Associates that the proposal may be
unnecessary.

     This letter will further confirm that, in consideration of such withdrawal
and in recognition of the substantial time and expense incurred by both Cilluffo
Associates and S&W in contesting the proposed inclusion of such stockholder
proposal in this year's proxy statement, S&W has agreed that, in the event that
Cilluffo Associates determines to submit a similar proposal under Rule 14a-8 for
inclusion in the 1997 proxy statement, S&W will include such proposal in the
1997 proxy statement and will not contest the inclusion of such proposal before
the SEC or otherwise.

     Please confirm your agreement with the foregoing by signing and returning a
copy of this letter in the place indicated below.

                                                 Sincerely yours,

                                                 CILLUFFO ASSOCIATES, L.P.


                                                 By: /s/ Frank J. A. Cilluffo
                                                    ----------------------------

                                                    Managing Partner
