Weyerhaeuser Successfully Completes Tender Offer for
TJ International; Companies Begin Combined Operation

FEDERAL WAY, Wash. -- Weyerhaeuser Company (NYSE: WY) today announced that it
has acquired a controlling interest in TJ International (NASDAQ: TJCO) making
Weyerhaeuser the world's largest producer of engineered wood products.

TJ International is a 51 percent owner and managing partner of Trus Joist
MacMillan (TJM). Weyerhaeuser currently owns 49 percent of TJM.

The acquisition was completed under terms of an offer by Weyerhaeuser to
purchase all outstanding shares of TJ International for $42 per share in cash.
Approximately 15.423 million TJ International shares were validly tendered and
not withdrawn when the tender offer expired at 8 p.m. EST on Jan. 5. This
represents more than 90 percent of the total number of outstanding shares in
TJ International. Weyerhaeuser has accepted for purchase all shares that were
validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the offer.

Weyerhaeuser will complete the acquisition of TJ International by acquiring
all remaining outstanding TJ International shares for $42 per share in cash as
soon as possible. Once the acquisition is complete, it is anticipated that it
will be accretive to Weyerhaeuser's earnings and cash flow this year.

"This is an exciting day for Weyerhaeuser as we continue to grow our
value-added wood business," said Steven R. Rogel, Weyerhaeuser chairman,
president and chief executive officer. "Trus Joist is the leading company in
the high-growth area of engineered wood products. We look forward to working
with the dedicated employees of Trus Joist to bring engineered wood products
to their next level of development."

Because of the strong brand identity associated with Trus Joist, Weyerhaeuser
will continue to market its line of engineered wood products under the Trus
Joist name. Research and development, along with certain marketing and sales
functions, will remain in Boise, Idaho.

Thomas H. Denig will serve as president of Trus Joist and report to William R.
Corbin, Weyerhaeuser executive vice president - Wood Products. Denig brings
with him 25 years of experience at Trus Joist, serving as president and CEO
since 1995.

"I'm extremely pleased that Tom will continue to play an important role in our
engineered wood products business," Rogel said. "Under his leadership, Trus
Joist has become a worldwide leader in sales, innovation and product quality
in their segment. He will help us maintain the traditions of product
innovation and quality customer service that are associated with the Trus
Joist name."

Weyerhaeuser expects the acquisition to generate approximately $50 million in
annual savings within two years.

The acquisition is a natural extension of the long-standing roles Weyerhaeuser
has held with Trus Joist as a supplier of raw materials and a distributor of
finished goods.

companies, was incorporated in 1900. In 1998, sales were $10.8 billion. It has
