Exhibit 99.1

            STATEMENT UNDER OATH OF PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND
         PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL OFFICER REGARDING FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES
                        RELATING TO EXCHANGE ACT FILINGS

I, H. Lawrence Culp, Jr., state and attest that:

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

    o    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

    o    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 the Company'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":

    o    the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 of
         Danaher Corporation;

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

    o    any amendments to any of the foregoing.
