Item 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

        Effective February 21, 1997, upon the recommendation of the Audit and 
Finance Committee of the Board of Directors of NCR Corporation ("NCR"), the
Board appointed Price Waterhouse L.L.P. as independent accountants for 1997. As
of March 19, 1997, the date of filing of NCR's report on Form 1O-K for the
year ended December 31, 1996, Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. no longer serves as
independent accountants of NCR.

        The reports by Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. on the consolidated financial 
statements of NCR for each of the two fiscal years in the period ended December
31, 1996 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were
not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting
principles.

        During NCR's two most recent fiscal years and through March 19, 1997, 
there have been no disagreements with the former independent accountants,
Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P., on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.

        NCR has requested that Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P. furnish it with a 
letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") stating
that it agrees with the above statements. A copy of Coopers & Lybrand's
letter to the SEC, dated March 19, is filed as Exhibit 16 to the Form 8-K.
