DuPont (DD, $56), 1994E $3.05, 1995E $3.50, U.S. Recommended List.

1.  In late 1993, duPont appointed a new CFO, Jerry Henry, one with a non
traditional, non-accounting/CPA background.  Mr. Henry was previously in
charge of corporate plans and later the electronics business.

2.  The CFO says his key agenda is two fold.  First, and most importantly,
to help implement a portfolio pruning and second, through personnel and
policy changes to force divisions away from counter-productive accounting
games.

3.  It recently sold a commodity polyethylene business in Canada.  The CFO
listed several probationary businesses including imaging ($1.3 billion
revenue) and electronics ($700 million), and others (over $3 billion).

4.  YESTERDAY, DUPONT ANNOUNCED A CASH SALE OF 50% OF ITS POWER PLANTS at
nine fiber producing facilities to LG&E Energy Corp.  While terms were not
disclosed, THIS IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF CASHING IN ON NON-STRATEGIC
BUSINESSES.  These facilities will now be a 50:50 JV between the two
companies.

5.  JANUARY BUSINESS IS OFF TO A GOOD START.  DD has had some weather-
related plant upsets.  However, the underlying business conditions are good
according to the company.
