REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Participants of the Georgia-Pacific
Corporation Hourly 401(k) Savings Plan:
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits, with fund information, of the GEORGIA-PACIFIC CORPORATION HOURLY
401(k) SAVINGS PLAN as of December 31, 1998 and 1997 and the related statement
of changes in net assets available for benefits with fund information for the
year ended December 31, 1998. These financial statements and the schedules
referred to below are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Georgia-
Pacific Corporation Hourly 401(k) Savings Plan as of December 31, 1998 and 1997
and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the year ended
December 31, 1998 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedules of assets
held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1998 and reportable transactions
for the year ended December 31, 1998 are presented for purposes of additional
analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial statements but are
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. The fund information in the statement of net assets
available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for
benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present
the net assets available for benefits and the changes in net assets
-2-
available for benefits of each fund. The supplemental schedules and fund
information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

GEORGIA-PACIFIC CORPORATION HOURLY 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SCHEDULES
DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997
1. ORGANIZATION AND PLAN DESCRIPTION
The accompanying financial statements present the statements of net assets
available for benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits of
the Georgia-Pacific Corporation Hourly 401(k) Savings Plan (the "Plan").
The Plan was established on April 1, 1994. Certain groups of hourly
employees of Georgia-Pacific Corporation (the "Employer") participate in the
Plan. For unionized groups, participation in the Plan must be specified in
the applicable collective bargaining agreement; management designates
nonunion participating groups. Employees are eligible to participate in the
Plan upon the completion of one year of service.
Plan assets are held in trust funds and invested on participants' behalf,
with all investment earnings for each fund credited to the accounts of
participants based on their proportionate share of the fund. Vanguard
Fiduciary Trust Company (the "Trustee") is the Trustee and custodian for the
Plan.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis
of accounting. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires plan management to use
estimates and assumptions that affect the net assets available for benefits
and the changes therein. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
The Trustee performs daily valuations of the Plan's investments and makes
daily distributions.
Investments are presented at market value. Market values of mutual funds are
determined principally from quotations as reported on various securities
exchanges.
The net appreciation (depreciation) in the market value of investments in the
accompanying statement of changes in net assets available for benefits
reflects the net difference between the market value and cost at the
beginning and end of the year for assets held throughout the year, as well as
the difference between the year-end market value and cost for assets
purchased during the year. For assets sold or distributed during the year,
the net appreciation (depreciation) reflects the net difference between the
market value and the cost at the beginning of the year and the date of
disposition.
-2-
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform
with the current year presentation.
3. INCOME TAX STATUS
The Internal Revenue Service issued a determination letter dated June 20,
1997 stating that the Plan was designed in accordance with applicable
Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") requirements as of that date. Although the
Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, the plan
administrator believes that the Plan is currently designed and is being
operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. The plan
administrator believes that the Plan was qualified and the related trust was
tax-exempt as of the financial statement dates.
4. INVESTMENTS
Assets held under the Plan were invested by the Trustee, as directed by the
participants, in one or more of the following 18 investment options.

5. MASTER TRUST
Effective June 8, 1994, the assets of the Georgia-Pacific Stock Fund were
transferred into the Georgia-Pacific Stock Fund Master Trust (the "Master
Trust"). The Master Trust was established to hold, administer, and invest
the assets of the Georgia-Pacific Stock Funds of certain defined contribution
plans qualified under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k). These plans are
administered by Georgia-Pacific Corporation. Each participating plan's
interest in the Master Trust was based on the market value of assets
transferred.
On December 16, 1997, the shareholders of Georgia-Pacific Corporation
approved the conversion of all Georgia-Pacific Common Stock into Georgia-
Pacific Corporation -- Georgia-Pacific Group Common Stock and to distribute
one share of a new class of Common Stock, Georgia-Pacific Corporation --
Timber Group Common Stock. As a result, the assets of the Master Trust were
transferred on a pro rata basis into the newly created Georgia-Pacific Group
Stock Fund Master Trust ("Group Master Trust") and the Georgia-Pacific Timber
Stock Fund Master Trust ("Timber Master Trust").
The market values of the Master Trusts are allocated to the individual
participating plans based on the relative value of the assets of each Plan.
Interest income, dividends, and gains and losses (both realized and
unrealized) are allocated daily to the individual participating plans based
on the relative market values at the beginning of each day.
The Plan's interest in the assets of the Georgia-Pacific Group Stock Fund
Master Trust is included in the accompanying schedule of assets held for
investment purposes under the "Georgia-Pacific Group Stock Fund Master
Trust." A summary of the Group Master Trust as of December 31, 1998 and 1997

6. CONTRIBUTIONS
The Plan allows for both employer and employee contributions. For unionized
groups, the percent of eligible compensation a participant is able to
contribute, the percent of the Employer's match (if any), and whether certain
bonuses and compensation for unused vacation and holidays may be contributed
are governed by the collective bargaining agreement applicable to that group.
Participants may contribute from 1% to 15% of eligible compensation to the
Plan in whole percentages as specified in the plan exhibit applicable to that
group. In addition, if specified in the governing exhibit, participants may
elect to contribute certain bonuses and compensation for unused vacation days
and personal holidays to the Plan. The Employer matches the participants'
contributions to the extent provided in the exhibit applicable to the
participating group. In addition, participants may also contribute rollovers
from certain qualified plans.
Employee and employer contributions are remitted to the Trustee and invested
in the Vanguard Treasury Money Market Fund until they can be credited to
participants' accounts and invested in accordance with participants'
investment elections. Earnings on the short-term investments are allocated
to participants' accounts once each year.
7. WITHDRAWALS AND TERMINATION
Under the Plan, contributions excluded from gross income for federal income
tax purposes (and, in specified cases, other components of the participant's
account balance) can be withdrawn only in the case of a financial hardship
and are subject to taxes in the year received. The withdrawals (either full
or partial) are paid in cash. Withdrawals of before-tax contributions result
in a suspension of the right to make employee contributions to the Plan for a
period of at least 12 months.
-8-
In the event of a participant's termination of employment, death, or
attainment of age 65, the participant or his/her beneficiary may elect to
receive, in cash and/or Georgia-Pacific Corporation -- Timber Group Common
Stock or Georgia-Pacific Corporation -- Group Common Stock, his/her entire
account balance. Participants are immediately 100% vested in employer
contributions.
8. PLAN TERMINATION
The Employer has reserved the right to amend, modify, suspend, or terminate
the Plan at any time. In the event the employer terminates the Plan, each
participant's account balance would be fully vested.
9. RECONCILIATION TO THE FORM 5500
As of December 31, 1998, the Plan had approximately $120,632 of pending
distributions to participants who elected to withdraw from the Plan. These
amounts are recorded as a liability in the Plan's Form 5500; however, these
amounts are not recorded as a liability in the accompanying statements of net
assets available for plan benefits in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.
The following table reconciles net assets available for benefits at December
31, 1998 and distributions to participants for the year ended December 31,
1998 per the financial statements to the Form 5500 to be filed by the
