Exhibit 99.1

   Statement Under Oath of Principal Executive Officer
 Regarding Facts and Circumstances Relating to Exchange Act
                          Filings


I, Gregory L. Quesnel, President and Chief Executive Officer
of CNF  Inc. ("CNF"), state and attest that:

     (1)  To the best of my knowledge, based upon a review
          of the covered reports of CNF, and, except as
          corrected or supplemented in a subsequent covered
          report:

     -    no covered report contained an untrue statement of
          a material fact as of the end of the period
          covered by such report (or in the case of a report
          on Form 8-K or definitive proxy materials, as of
          the date on which it was filed); and

     -    no covered report omitted to state a material fact
          necessary to make the statements in the covered
          report, in light of the circumstances under which
          they were made, not misleading as of the end of
          the period covered by such report (or in the case
          of a report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy
          materials, as of the date on which it was filed).

     (2)  I have reviewed the contents of this statement
          with CNF's Audit Committee.

     (3)  In this statement under oath, each of the
          following, if filed on or before the date of this
          statement, is a "covered report."

     -    2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K of CNF filed with
          the Commission;

     -    all reports on Form 10-Q, all reports on Form 8-K
          and all definitive proxy materials of CNF filed
          with the Commission subsequent to the filing of
          the Form 10-K identified above; and

     -    any amendments to any of the foregoing.
