          Alex.Brown Investment
            Management               1,036,566 shares
                                     4,809,180 shares

     (ii) Bankers Trust Company was also the record owner of         
     28,219,190 shares (*) held as Trustee of the            
     United Technologies Corp Employee Savings Plan             
     (the "Plan") with respect to which the bank disclaims beneficial
     ownership. The Plan states that each Plan participant shall have the 
     right to direct the manner in which shares of common stock
     shall be voted at all stockholders' meetings.  The Department 
     of Labor has expressed the view that, under certain circumstances, 
     ERISA may require the Trustee to vote shares which are not 
     allocated to participants' accounts.  Since, in the view
     of the Bank and Bankers Trust New York Corporation, such voting
     power is merely a residual power based upon the occurrence of an
     unlikely contingency and is not a sole or shared power to vote 
     the securities, the Bank and Bankers Trust Corporation hereby 
     disclaim beneficial ownership of such securities.


     _________________________

(*)  This balance includes 25,127,190 shares of common stock which
the Plan participants may acquire through the conversion of all 
outstanding Series A ESOP Convertible Preferred stock held by the 
Plan, at the December 31,  1998 conversion ratio of 1-to-2.
