MK WINS TWO AWARDS FROM ADAM OPEL AG
FOR AUTOMOTIVE COMPLEXES IN POLAND AND THAILAND

BOISE--Morrison Knudsen Corporation announced today that its Cleveland-based Engineering & Construction Group has been awarded program-management services contracts by Adam Opel AG, Rüsselsheim, Germany, for new metal fabrication and car assembly complexes to be built in Poland and Thailand.

Preliminary design of the facilities is underway, and completion of the projects is scheduled for late 1998 in Poland and early 1999 in Thailand.

Robert A. Tinstman, MK president and chief executive officer said, "We are delighted to again take MK's automotive expertise abroad to support our client's worldwide expansion." The scope of services at both sites will be very similar since both projects include common systems and equipment. Program-management services for both project locations will be headquartered in MK's Rüsselsheim office, along with fully staffed field offices in Poland and Thailand.

Morrison Knudsen Corporation, founded in 1912, serves the world's industrial, heavy construction, environmental, mining, operations and maintenance, power, and transportation markets as an engineer and constructor.
