RE: Household International Tax Reduction Investment Plan
Registration Statement on Form S-8
Ladies and Gentlemen:
As Vice President Corporate Law & Assistant Secretary of Household International, Inc. (the "Company"), I am generally familiar with the proceedings in connection with the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-8 in which additional interests in the Household International Tax Reduction Investment Plan (the "Plan") and shares of the Company's Common Stock ($1.00 par value per share) offered pursuant to the Plan are being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). In accordance with the foregoing, I have examined such corporate records, certificates, public documents and other documents, and have reviewed such questions of law, as considered necessary or appropriate for the purpose of this opinion.
Upon the basis of such examination, it is my opinion that:
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving said consent, I do not admit that I am in the category of persons who consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.
Very truly yours,
/s/ JOHN W. BLENKE
