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


     I, ROBERT J. NUGENT, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of
JACK IN THE BOX INC., state and attest that:

     1.     To the best of my knowledge, based upon a review of the covered
reports of Jack in the Box Inc., 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 Jack in the Box
Inc.'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   Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
                September 30, 2001 of Jack in the Box Inc.

            o   All reports on Form 10-Q, all reports on Form 8-K and all
                definitive proxy materials of Jack in the Box Inc. filed
                with the Commission subsequent to the filing of the Form
                10-K identified above; and

            o   any amendments to any of the foregoing.
