           LANCASTER, PA (MARCH 14, 2003) Armstrong World Industries, Inc. (OTC
Bulletin Board: ACKHQ) has filed an amended Plan of Reorganization (POR) and
proposed Disclosure Statement in its Chapter 11 reorganization case with the
U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Delaware.


           The filings with the Court today seek to address certain comments and
objections made with respect to the original proposed Disclosure Statement and
also include certain exhibits to the POR and the proposed Disclosure Statement,
such as the procedures describing how asbestos personal injury claims will be
handled by the asbestos personal injury trust. The Court has scheduled a hearing
on Armstrong's proposed Disclosure Statement for April 4, 2003.


           The amended POR is supported by the asbestos personal injury
claimants' committee, the representative for future asbestos personal injury
claimants, and the unsecured creditors' committee. The amended POR will only
become effective after a vote of various classes of creditors and with the
approval of the Court. The amended POR, proposed Disclosure Statement and
related press releases, are available at www.armstrongplan.com.
