 "I strongly suggest that as members of this community and this nation, we
 think long and hard about the consequences of rolling over to this attempt
 by AlliedSignal.  The near-term gain will beget long-term hardship for many
 people, not just AMP employees."   Michael Maitland, a letter to the editor
 of the Harrisburg Patriot News, August 14, 1998 
  
 "The takeover's a mistake.  I think the takeover laws of Pennsylvania are
 going to help them [AMP] out."   Analyst Eliot Glazer, DuPasquier & Co.,
 The Washington Post, August 22, 1998 
  
 "Count me in 110%."   E-mail feedback from an AMP employee commenting on

 AMP has retained Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation ("CSFB") to act as
 its financial advisor in connection with the AlliedSignal Offer, for which
 CSFB will receive customary fees, as well as reimbursement of reasonable
 out-of-pocket expenses.  In addition, AMP has agreed to indemnify CSFB and
 certain related persons against certain liabilities, including certain
 liabilities under the federal securities laws, arising out of its
 engagement.  CSFB is an investment banking firm that provides a full range
 of financial services for institutional and individual clients.  CSFB does
 not admit that it or any of its directors, officers or employees is a
 "participant" as defined in Schedule 14A promulgated under the Securities
 Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in the solicitation, or that Schedule 14A
 requires the disclosure of certain information concerning CSFB.  In
 connection with CSFB's role as financial advisor to AMP, CSFB and the
 following investment banking employees of CSFB may communicate in person,
 by telephone or otherwise with a limited number of institutions, brokers or
 other persons who are stockholders of AMP: Alan Howard, Steven Koch, Scott
 Lindsay, and Lawrence Hamdan.  In the normal course of its business, CSFB
 regularly buys and sells securities issued by AMP for its own account and
 for the accounts of its customers, which transactions may result in CSFB
 and its associates having a net "long" or net "short" position in AMP
 securities, or option contracts or other derivatives in or relating to such
 securities.  As of August 19, 1998, CSFB had a net long position of 124,466
 shares of AMP common stock.
