                         GOODWIN TAKES TOP NATIONAL STEEL POST

               MISHAWAKA, IN. JUNE 1, 1994 -- National Steel Corporation
               announced today that its Board of Directors has appointed
               V. John Goodwin, former general manager of USX
               Corporation's Gary Works, as president and chief
               operating officer effective immediately.  Robert M.
               Greer, formerly plant controller of Gary Works, was named
               senior vice president and chief financial officer.

               "We are fortunate to be able to obtain in Mr. Goodwin the
               services of a highly skilled steel executive," said Board
               Chairman Osamu Sawaragi.  "Mr. Goodwin's 27 years of
               steelmaking experience has encompassed managing and
               directing all plant production and maintenance
               requirements at major steelmaking facilities."

               During his career, Mr. Goodwin has developed and
               implemented an employee involvement approach to
               management, enlisting the support and involvement of all
               employees in making a positive impact on the quality and
               performance of the products they produce.

               Mr. Goodwin holds a B.S. degree in electrical engineering
               from Clarkson College of Technology and an M.B.A. degree
               in business administration from Monmouth College.

               Ronald H. Doerr, former president and chief executive
               officer, and Richard E. Newsted, former chief financial
               officer and secretary, were released by the Board from
               their executive offices and responsibilities and are
               discussing the nature of their future relationship with
               the Company.
