Dear Christian:

This letter will confirm the offer made to you for the
position of Senior Vice President, General Counsel and
Secretary for Owens-Corning reporting to me starting January
1, 1995.  The specifics of the employment offer are as
follows:

  Your starting annual base salary will be $275,000 subject
  to regular review by the Board Compensation Committee.
  
  You will participate in the Annual Corporate Incentive
  Compensation Plan which is presently based upon corporate
  earnings per share, cash flow and sales growth.  Your
  participation in this plan will be 100% of your base salary
  and your target award will be 50% of base salary.  Obviously,
  corporate business results will determine actual payments but
  you will be guaranteed $137,500 for 1995, which is target
  bonus.  This payment will be made at the same time as our
  annual incentive payments are normally made, which is the last
  day in February of 1996.
  
  You will be awarded 15,000 stock options and 3,000
  restricted stock shares upon your initial day of employment.
  The price of the options will be based on the closing price of
  Owens-Corning stock on the date of your hire.  The options
  will vest one third each year for three years.  The restricted
  shares will vest 50% in five years and the remaining 50% in
  ten years from date of grant.  These restricted shares will be
  valued at vesting based upon their market value at that time.
  
  You will be given a one time "sign-on" bonus of $50,000
  (net of applicable taxes) on your first day of employment.
  This will address certain perquisites in which you currently
  participate, such as car allowances, club memberships, etc.
  
  You will have four weeks of vacation with Owens-Corning.

  You will be eligible for tax preparation/planning
  assistance, financial counseling, personal liability insurance
  and other benefits accorded Leadership council participants.
  In addition, you will be given a membership in the Toledo Club
  (or equivalent) which is a prestigious downtown dining and
  exercise club which can be utilized for business entertainment
  associated with your position.
  
  For relocation purposes, you will be treated as a
  transferring employee, which means that we will purchase your
  home if you are unable to sell it.  Specifics of our plan
  would be communicated upon acceptance of our offer.
  
  In addition to the above items, you will also be entitled
  to Owens-Corning's full benefits package, which includes a
  health care plan, Savings and Deferral Investment Plan
  (401(k)), life insurance plan, salary continuation and long-
  term disability plan.
  
Employment is contingent upon successful completion of a
physical examination (which includes a drug screening) and
reference checking.  You may contact Juanita Kesler (in
Corporate Human Resources) at (419) 248-7414 to arrange a
physical examination.  The enclosed severance agreement should
be executed upon your acceptance of this offer.

If you have any questions regarding the above offer or any
benefits, please call me at (419) 248-6518 or Greg Thomson at
(419) 248-6310.

Yours truly,



Glen H. Hiner


AGREED TO AND ACCEPTED:
