          RE:  Renewal of Consulting Contract

Dear Bill:

          The Consulting Agreement dated May 1, 1992 between you and
Reynolds Metals Company will expire on April 30, 1994.

          This will confirm that Reynolds wishes to renew the 1992
Consulting Agreement for an additional three year period, that is, through
April 30, 1997.  All the other terms and conditions of the 1992 Consulting
Agreement will therefore remain in full force and effect through April 30,
1997.

          If the renewal of the 1992 Consulting Agreement as set forth in
this letter is acceptable to you, please sign and return the enclosed copy
of this letter.

                         Very truly yours,


                         Dick

                         Richard G. Holder
                         
ACCEPTED:
