Item 5.    Other events
           ------------

On April 5, 1999, ICF Kaiser International, Inc. announced that James Maiwurm
will become CEO and President of the Company, and company veterans Richard
Leupen and Bob Cochran will assume new roles as, respectively, President of
International Business and President of North America Business.

Maiwurm, who has been a senior advisor and outside counsel to the Company for
nearly a decade, will transition from Keith M. Price, who was asked to head the
Company last November and help see it through the problems brought on by cost
overruns of four nitric acid projects.  Bob Cochran has served as Group Senior
Vice President for Business Development, Environment and Facilities Management
Group, and Richard Leupen has served as Group President of the ICF Kaiser
Engineers and Constructors Group.  Tim O'Connor, who has played a lead role in
the Company's pending asset dispositions, will continue as the Company's Chief
Financial Officer and will become more involved in large project development
worldwide.

"Keith Price has successfully re-positioned the Company for recovery," said
Chairman of the Board Tony Coehlo.  "What should be absolutely clear, as quality
product is delivered from all four nitric plants, is that Kaiser Engineers keeps
its word about finishing difficult projects.  With the sale of both our
Consulting Group and our Environment and Facilities Management Groups, we will
now be able to focus on moving the Company forward in the tradition of Kaiser
Engineers."

"Jim Maiwurm is an outstanding leader," continued Coelho.  "Jim brings his years
with ICF Kaiser to bear, as well as his understanding of, and credibility with,
the financial markets.  Our new team, working with the ICF Kaiser staff, will
help the Company aggressively build on our core strengths."

"The task in front of us is to make Kaiser Engineers profitable for our
shareholders by being a focussed, innovative, and extremely disciplined
international business" said Maiwurm.  "Our traditional expertise and our
current book of business in the transit, water, alumina/aluminum, iron, steel,
and mineral industries are real strengths.  We believe transportation and
infrastructure management, particularly when focused on large-scale public
projects, including Rocky Flats, are all areas where Kaiser has an outstanding
reputation, and we intend to strengthen these lines of business."

Maiwurm also said that, in pursuing these lines of business, both nationally and
internationally, Bob Cochran and Richard Leupen will have overall command of the
business lines, and focus on developing new business.  The Company will continue
to rely on the resourcefulness of its Chief Financial Officer Tim O'Connor.

Maiwurm, who has been involved in the operational, financial, legal, and
corporate affairs of the Company, has most recently served as its outside
counsel from Squire, Sanders & Dempsey, where he is a partner.  Known and
respected for his work in designing, managing, and executing major transactions,
Maiwurm was closely involved in the resolution of the nitric acid issues and the
preparation for the asset divestitures of the past year.

Maiwurm said, "In the aftermath of the upheaval of the past year, we will focus
on business development efforts, building on the strengths of our employees
throughout the world, and reducing unnecessary costs.  We intend for Kaiser's
continuing recovery to be a company-wide team effort."

"Keith Price has asked to step out of the day-to-day operations, and while we
are acceding to his wishes, we cannot afford to let his experience and knowledge
of the Company leave," Coehlo stated.  "Keith has agreed to remain as a
consultant for strategic planning, marketing, business development, and
operational issues, with an office here in Fairfax.  I have also asked Keith to
Chair a new Strategic Planning Committee of the Board."

"The Kaiser name will be in good hands with Jim Maiwurm," said Keith Price.
"The next months are critical for the Company, and Jim knows the issues inside
and out.   I have been proud to have played a part in putting the Company in a
position to focus on its core competencies of engineering and construction.  I
was brought in to fix a difficult situation, and I am pleased with the progress
we have made."

"There has been a lot of transition at the Company over the last year in terms
of management and focus.  I think Keith has done an excellent job of putting
together a management team which includes Jim, Richard, Bob, Tim, and the rest
of the Senior staff that will be able to take ICF Kaiser into the year 2000 and
beyond," said Board Member Jarrod M. Cohen.
