Exhibit 99.1


             Statement Under Oath of Principal Executive Officer and
                 Principal Financial Officer Regarding Facts and
                 Circumstances Relating to Exchange Act Filings

I, Douglas N. Daft, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive
Officer of The Coca-Cola Company, state and attest that:

     (1)    To the best of my knowledge, based upon a review of the covered
            reports of The Coca-Cola Company (the "Company"), and, except as
            corrected or supplemented in a subsequent covered report:

            -  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

            -  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 the Company'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":

            -  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001
               of The Coca-Cola Company;

            -  all reports on Form 10-Q, all reports on Form 8-K and all
               definitive proxy materials of The Coca-Cola Company filed with
               the Commission subsequent to the filing of the Form 10-K
               identified above; and

            -  any amendments to any of the foregoing.


/s/ DOUGLAS N. DAFT                         Subscribed and sworn to before me
