         (2)  Financial Statement Schedules

              This report omits all schedules for which provision is
              made in the applicable accounting regulations of the
              Securities and Exchange Commission because they are not
              required, are inapplicable or the required information
              has otherwise been given.

              This report omits individual financial statements of
              Reynolds Metals Company because the restricted net
              assets (as defined in Accounting Series Release 302) of
              all subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial
              statements filed, in the aggregate, do not exceed 25%
              of the consolidated net assets shown in the
              consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1997.

              This report omits financial statements of all
              associated companies (20% to 50% owned) because no
              associated company is individually significant.

(b)  Reports on Form 8-K

     During the fourth quarter of 1997, the Registrant filed three 
     Current Reports on Form 8-K with the Commission.  The Registrant 
     reported on the Form 8-K dated December 15, 1997 that (i) it had 
     determined to keep and grow its packaging and consumer products 
     business, (ii) it was discussing a potential agreement with Ball 
     Corporation for the sale of substantially all of Reynolds' global can
     business, and (iii) if the sale of the can business is
     completed, the Registrant expects to apply a substantial
     portion of the proceeds to a stock repurchase program.  The
     Registrant reported on the Form 8-K dated December 29, 1997
     that the U.S. Justice Department had filed suit to block the
     proposed sale of the Registrant's Alloys complex in North
     Alabama to Alcoa.  The Registrant reported on the Form 8-K
     dated December 30, 1997, that Alcoa had withdrawn from the
     Alloys complex transaction.  All of the foregoing matters
     were reported under Item 5.
