McKESSON AGREES TO SELL ITS INTEREST IN ARMOR ALL


     SAN FRANCISCO, Tuesday, November 26, 1996 - McKesson Corp.
     (NYSE:MCK) has agreed today to tender 11.6 million shares
     representing its 55%-interest in Armor All Products Corporation
     (NASDAQ:ARMR) to The Clorox Company (NYSE: CLX) for $19.09 per
     share. Under the terms of a definitive merger agreement, Clorox
     will make a tender offer for all outstanding shares of Armor All
     that is expected to commence December 2 and to close December 30.
     On November 12, Armor All declared a regular quarterly dividend of
     $0.16 per share, which will be paid as scheduled, on January 2,
     1997 to shareholders of record on December 2, 1996.

           "The sale of our interest in Armor All enables us to sharply
     focus on our core health care businesses in pursuit of our vision
     of achieving the leadership position in health care supply
     management," said Alan Seelenfruend, McKesson chairman and chief
     executive officer.

           The closing of the transaction is subject to satisfaction of
     normal conditions including expiration of the waiting period under

     will record an after-tax gain of approximately $100 million.
     Proceeds from the transaction will remain as cash and cash
     equivalents pending decisions on the use of the funds.

           In 1993, McKesson initiated a plan to dispose of its
     ownership in Armor All over time, which began with the sale of
