	The Purchase Agreement provided that (i) the Berkshire Entities would use their best efforts not to knowingly sell, to any person or group, securities which possess, in the aggregate, over 3% of the general voting power of Gillette’s outstanding voting securities at the time of the sale, except under conditions related to a change in control; (ii) the Berkshire Entities would not sell any Gillette securities owned by them without first giving Gillette or its designee a right of first offer to purchase such securities; and (iii) so long as the Berkshire Entities own securities having at least 5% of the general voting power of the outstanding voting securities of Gillette, Gillette’s directors would use their best efforts to cause Mr. Buffett, Charles T. Munger or another Berkshire designee who is reasonably acceptable to Gillette to be elected to Gillette’s board of directors.
	The Purchase Agreement also contained other restrictions, which have since expired, on the ability of the Berkshire Entities to acquire the voting securities of Gillette.  These expired restrictions were summarized in the original Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on or around July 28, 1989 (the “Original 13D”) and subsequent amendments thereto and are not restated herein.
	On March 13, 2003, Gillette and Berkshire executed an Amendment Letter (the “Amendment Letter”) amending the Purchase Agreement in some respects.  The Amendment Letter deletes the requirement for Gillette’s directors to use their best efforts to cause Mr. Buffett, Mr. Munger, or another Berkshire designee to be elected to Gillette’s board of directors.  The Amendment Letter also modifies the right of first offer provisions in the Purchase Agreement in certain respects.  In this regard, it provides that Berkshire may sell up to 3% of Gillette’s common stock in market transactions in any 90-day period if it first gives Gillette the opportunity to purchase such stock at the closing price on the day before the offer, provided that Berkshire is not aware that the ultimate beneficial owner of shares sold by it in such market transactions is a person or group which, as a result of such transaction, will possess over 3% of the general voting power of Gillette’s outstanding voting securities.

	Since October 19, 1989, Mr. Buffett has been, and currently is, a director of Gillette.  He will resign from Gillette’s board of directors as of Gillette’s 2003 annual stockholders meeting and will cease to be a director following that meeting.
	The Certificate of Designation for the Series B Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”) contained provisions relating to the rights (including voting rights) of a holder of Series B Preferred Stock.  Some of these provisions were summarized in the Original 13D and subsequent amendments thereto.  Because the Reporting Persons no longer hold any Series B Preferred Stock, such summaries are not restated herein.
	The description of the terms and provisions of each of the Purchase Agreement, the Amendment Letter, and the Certificate of Designation is qualified in its entirety by reference to such documents.  Each of (i) the Purchase Agreement, which was filed in paper format, on or around July 28, 1989 with the Original 13D, as Exhibit A to this Schedule 13D, (ii) the Amendment Letter, which is filed electronically herewith as Exhibit C to this Schedule 13D, and (iii) the Certificate of Designation, which was filed in paper format, on or around July 28, 1989 with the Original 13D, as Exhibit B to this Schedule 13D, is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference in response to this Item 4.
	While none of the Berkshire Entities or other entities within the Berkshire group of companies has any present plans to purchase additional shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company or to sell any of the shares of Common Stock held by them, they may determine to make such purchases or sales, in the open market or otherwise, depending upon price, market conditions, availability of or need for funds, evaluation of alternative investments, and other factors.  Mr. Buffett, from time to time, may acquire shares of Common Stock by exercising director stock options held by him and may determine to sell or otherwise dispose of such shares.
	Other than as set forth above, the Reporting Persons do not have any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of Gillette or the disposition of securities of Gillette; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction involving Gillette or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of Gillette or any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of Gillette (except to the extent that Mr. Buffett, as a current director of Gillette, may be involved in the nomination of candidates for election or appointment to Gillette’s board of directors prior to his resignation from Gillette’s board of directors as of Gillette’s 2003 annual stockholders meeting); (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of Gillette; (f) any other material change in Gillette’s business or corporate structure; (g) changes in Gillette’s charter, bylaws, or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of Gillette by any person; (h) causing a class of securities of Gillette to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of Gillette becoming eligible for termination of registration

ITEM 5.		INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
(a) - (b)			The following table sets forth the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock held of record by each Reporting Person and the approximate percentage of the outstanding Common Stock such shares represent:

Reporting Person		Shares	Approximate Percentage 2
	NICO	60,000,000	5.7%
	NFMIC	6,400,000	0.6%
	Columbia	20,800,000	2.0%
	NLFIC	800,000	0.1%
	Cypress	1,600,000	0.2%
	WFIC	6,400,000	0.6%
	Total	96,000,000	9.2%

Reporting Persons not listed in the table above do not hold any Common Stock of record.  However, such Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own some or all of the Common Stock listed in the table above by virtue of their ownership or control of the Reporting Persons which hold Common Stock of record.³  In particular, each Reporting Person listed in the table above may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power over the shares of Common Stock held of record by such Reporting Person with each other Reporting Person that is within the same chain of ownership or control of such Reporting Person.

Berkshire, as the ultimate parent of the Berkshire Entities, thus may be deemed to beneficially own, and may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power over, in the aggregate, 96,000,000 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 9.2% of the outstanding Common Stock.

Because Mr. Buffett may be deemed to control Berkshire, he may be deemed to beneficially own, and may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power over, the 96,000,000 shares of Common Stock

          ² Calculation of percentage ownership herein is based on 1,044,224,346 shares of Common Stock estimated to be outstanding as of January 31, 2003, as reported by Gillette in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, filed by Gillette with the SEC on March 5, 2003.

          ³ As mentioned previously in Item 1 hereof, (i) WFIC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Wesco Holdings; (ii) Wesco Holdings is a wholly owned subsidiary of Wesco; (iii) Wesco is an 80.1%-owned subsidiary of Blue Chip; (iv) Columbia is a wholly owned subsidiary of BH Columbia; (v) each of Blue Chip, BH Columbia, NICO, NFMIC, NLFIC, and Cypress is a wholly owned subsidiary of OBH; (vi) OBH is a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire; and (vii) Mr. Buffett may be deemed to control Berkshire.

		that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by Berkshire.  In addition, Mr. Buffett directly owns, and has sole voting and dispositive power over, in the aggregate, (x) 2,010.46 shares of Common Stock, which he had acquired with personal funds, and (y) director stock options, which were issued to him by Gillette in connection with his services as a director of Gillette, that are currently exercisable, or will become exercisable within the next 60 days, for 23,667 shares of Common Stock.  Accordingly, Mr. Buffett may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, 96,025,677.46 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 9.2% of the outstanding Common Stock.
		Other than as set forth above, none of the Reporting Persons, and, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the executive officers and directors of any of the Berkshire Entities, beneficially own any Common Stock.
(c)		On February 10, 2003, Mr. Buffett acquired 17,333 shares of Common Stock by exercising director stock options for (i) 4,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $12.31 per share, (ii) 4,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $16.74 per share, (iii) 4,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $20.45 per share, (iv) 4,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $27.13 per share, and (v) 1,333 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $26.08 per share.  On the same date as such exercise, Mr. Buffett disposed of all 17,333 of these shares by (x) delivering 11,942 of them to Gillette, at a value of $28.57 per share, as payment of the exercise price for such exercise, and (y) selling the remaining 5,391 shares on the open market for $28.40 per share.

Berkshire Hathaway Inc.

Omaha, Nebraska 68131

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to the Letter Agreement, dated July 20, 1989, between Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (the “Purchaser”) and The Gillette Company (the “Company”) (the “1989 Letter Agreement”) (attached as Exhibit A hereto) pursuant to which Purchaser acquired the 8 ¾% Series B Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series B Stock”). In 1991, the Series B Stock was converted into shares of the Company’s common stock. The parties hereto desire to amend the 1989 Letter Agreement as set forth in this amendment letter (this “Amendment Letter”). Each term used in this Amendment Letter and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the 1989 Letter Agreement.

1.    Section 1(b)(iii) of the 1989 Letter Agreement is amended by the addition in the fourth line thereof, after the phrase “Preferred Stock,” and before the word “Purchaser”, of the following:

“or a sale pursuant to Section 1(b)(iv)(C)(II) (in which event the restrictions set forth in such section shall apply),”

2.    Section 1(b)(iv)(B) of the 1989 Letter Agreement is amended by the addition at the conclusion thereof, after the word “offering)” and prior to “.”, of the following:

“; notwithstanding the foregoing, the total amount of shares that may be sold pursuant to this Section 1(b)(iv)(B) shall be limited as provided in Section 1(b)(iv)(C)(III)”

1

3.    Section 1(b)(iv)(C) of the 1989 Letter Agreement is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

“(C)  (I) Subject to subparagraphs (II) and (III) below, in the event of a sale that is proposed which is not a Clause A Event or a Clause B Event, Purchaser will provide Company the opportunity to purchase the securities proposed to be sold by Purchaser at a price named by Purchaser (“Clause C-I Offer Price”). Such opportunity to purchase shall be provided to Company at least 10 business days in advance of any sale by Purchaser. If Company accepts such offer it shall so notify Purchaser by 5 p.m. Eastern Time on the tenth (10th) business day following receipt of such notice, and Company shall pay to Purchaser the Clause C-I Offer Price, in same-day funds, no later than five (5) business days following such acceptance. If the Company does not accept such offer as aforesaid, Purchaser may sell any of the securities it offered at any price at or above the Clause C-I Offer Price, so long as such sale does not constitute a Clause A Event or a Clause B Event, at any time during the 90 days following the date any acceptance by Company was due.

(II)  Notwithstanding Section 1(b)(iv)(C)(I), in the event of a sale that is proposed that is not a Clause A Event or a Clause B Event, but that is a transaction on a national securities exchange or with a broker or dealer in a third market or block transaction (“Market Transaction”), Purchaser will provide Company the opportunity to purchase the securities proposed to be sold by Purchaser at a per share price no greater than the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock reported on the Composite Tape for New York Stock Exchange listed stocks for the full trading session immediately preceding the day of the offer (“Clause C-II Offer Price”). Such opportunity to purchase shall be provided to Company no later than prior to the opening of trading on the New York Stock Exchange at least three (3) full trading sessions before the date of any sale by Purchaser. If Company accepts such offer (which it may do as to all or a portion of the securities proposed to be sold by Purchaser) it shall so notify Purchaser (such notification to include the number of securities the Company will purchase) by 5 p.m. Eastern time on the day of the third (3^rd) full trading session following receipt of such notice, and Company shall pay to Purchaser the Clause C-II Offer Price for the shares to be purchased, in same-day funds, no later than five(5) business days following such acceptance. If the Company does not accept such offer as aforesaid, or to the extent the Company does not accept such offer if it has accepted the offer only as to a portion of the securities proposed to be sold, Purchaser may sell any of the securities it offered in one or more Market Transactions, at any price, so long as (X) no such sale constitutes a Clause A Event or a Clause B Event, (Y) Purchaser is not aware that the ultimate beneficial owner (ignoring for this purpose any broker or dealer that purchases to resell) is any one person or group of persons acting in concert which, as a result of such purchase, will possess over 3% of the general voting power of the Company’s Voting Securities outstanding at the time of the sale, and (Z) each such sale is made within 90 days following the date any acceptance by Company was due. In

2

connection with any sale pursuant to this Section 1(b)(iv)(C)(II), Purchaser will use its reasonable market judgment to minimize the impact of such sale on the market price of the Common Stock.

(III)  No sale pursuant to Sections 1(b)(iv)(B), (C)(I) or (C)(II) shall be permitted if such sale would result in more than three percent (3%) of the Company’s outstanding common stock being sold by Purchaser pursuant to Sections 1(b)(iv)(B), (C)(I) or (C)(II) in any 90 day period.

4.    Section 1(c) of the 1989 Letter Agreement is deleted in its entirety.

5.    This Amendment Letter shall become effective as of the date first written above (the “Effective Date”).

6.    THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW RULES.

3

Please confirm your agreement to the foregoing by signing and returning the accompanying copy of this Amendment Letter, whereupon this Amendment Letter shall become binding on each of the Company and the Purchaser.

Very truly yours,
