Henderson (Chairman), J. I. Miller, W. I. Miller and T. M. Solso. The Executive
Committee is authorized to exercise the powers of the Board of Directors in the

intervals between meetings of the Board of Directors. The Executive Committee
met one time during 1995.
Other Committees. In addition to the Committees described above, the Board of
Directors has established the following committees: Business Development
Committee (J. L. Wilson, Chairman, W. Y. Elisha and H. B. Schacht); Employee
Development and Benefits Committee (R. J. Darnall, Chairman, D. G. Mead and W.

each special meeting of the Board of Directors attended. Committee chairmen
(other than the Executive or Proxy Committee) receive an additional annual fee
of $9,000. Non-chair members of the Audit, Business Development, Executive,

As part of the Company's overall support of charitable and educational
institutions and as an aid in attracting and retaining qualified directors, the
Company has established the Cummins Engine Company Charitable Bequest Program
in which all directors participate. Upon the death of a director, the Company
will donate ten equal annual installments of $100,000 to one or more qualifying
institutions designated by such director, subject to certain vesting
requirements based upon years of service as a director. The Company has
purchased life insurance policies on each director, the proceeds of which fund
donations under the program. Directors will not receive any financial benefit
from the program since all charitable deductions accrue solely to the Company.
6
Nominee Harold Brown has a consulting arrangement with the Company pursuant
to which he provides consulting services in connection with the Company's
research and development activities and related technology issues. During 1995,
the Company paid Dr. Brown $50,000 for these services. In addition, the Company
has established a Science and Technology Advisory Council on which Dr. Brown
serves as Chairman. The Council advises senior management and the Board of
Directors on the direction and implication of developments in science,
technology and environmental issues that may have applicability to the
Company's current and future business goals and objectives. For his services on
the Council, Dr. Brown is paid an annual retainer of $17,000, including $7,000
for serving as Chairman, and an additional fee of $3,000 for each day of
meetings attended during the year.
Nominee Henry B. Schacht had a consulting arrangement with the Company during
1995 in order to retain, for the benefit of the Company, the knowledge and
judgment of Mr. Schacht in connection with strategic planning, business
alliances and other significant matters following his retirement from the
Company. Pursuant to the arrangement, Mr. Schacht was available to the Board
and senior management for at least one week during each month and was paid
$337,500 for his services during the year.
The Company has a deferred compensation plan for non-employee directors,
pursuant to which such directors may elect to defer receipt of all or any
portion of their compensation while they serve as a director of the Company.
Upon ceasing to be a director, the deferred compensation, plus accrued
interest, is paid to the director or the director's beneficiary in a lump sum
or in annual installments, not to exceed ten, as specified by the director.
Upon a change of control of the Company (as defined in the plan), such deferred
compensation and interest is paid in cash to the director in one lump sum.
The Company also maintains a retirement plan for non-employee directors who
have no vested rights under any other pension plan sponsored by the Company and
who have served as a director for 5 or more years. Under the plan, annual
payments equal to the amount of fees (excluding Committee fees) paid or payable
for the final year of service are made to a former director each year for the
lesser of 20 years or the number of years served as a director. Upon a change
of control of the Company (as defined in the plan), the actuarial present value
of accrued but unpaid benefits will be distributed in one lump sum.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT
The Compensation Committee Report is organized as follows:
. Role of the Compensation Committee
. Objectives and Principles
. Compensation Program Elements
. Compensation of the Chief Executive Officer
7
ROLE OF COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
The Compensation Committee is made up of five members of the Board of
Directors of the Company, who are not current or former employees of the
corporation. The Committee has oversight responsibility for the Company's
executive compensation programs. The Committee reviews the general compensation
philosophy of the Company, the elements of the compensation program, the
specifics of each element, the goals and measurements used in the program, and
the results of the compensation program compared to the philosophy to determine
if the compensation program is performing as expected.
In addition, the Committee reviews the individual levels and awards for each
of the five most highly paid officers and takes appropriate action. In its
review, the Committee has direct access to advice from professional executive
compensation consultants. The Committee also reviews its actions with the full
Board of Directors.
OBJECTIVES AND PRINCIPLES OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Cummins' executive compensation is designed to attract, motivate, and retain
the personnel required to achieve the Company's performance goals in the
competitive global business environment. The program is designed to reflect the
individual's contribution and the performance of the Company. The program
attempts to strike an appropriate balance between short-term and long-term
performance.
The Company is committed to the concept of pay for sustained financial
performance. We evaluate performance over several periods of time. While the
specific elements of executive compensation vary from time to time, the
Compensation Committee focuses on this central principle of pay for performance
in reviewing the compensation program, any proposed changes, and the specific
awards.
The Committee follows several principles, in addition to pay for performance,
in designing and implementing compensation programs for its officers.
. Programs should provide competitive compensation opportunity; the concept
of opportunity is important in our program. We believe the executive
should have the opportunity to do well if the Company does well, but that
total compensation should vary in relation to the Company's performance.
. An individual's compensation should be at the median of the range when
compared to the compensation of individuals in U.S. industrial companies
with sales volumes similar to Cummins, when Cummins' financial
performance is at the median of those companies.
. There should be a balance between short-term and long-term elements of
compensation.
. The more senior a person's position, the more the compensation should be
"at risk", i.e., dependent on the performance of the Company.
. Stock should be an important part of the program in order to link the
management's compensation with shareholders' expectations; the greater
the level of responsibility of the person, the more the compensation
should be stock-based.
. The system should be as simple and as easily understood as possible.
. Payouts should not accumulate, causing large one-time payments.
8
In addition to these principles, we have the following observations:
. No single program accomplishes these aims consistently; a mix of programs
is best.
. There is no single best comparator of performance with other companies; a
mix of comparators should be used.
. In this complex area, relative simplicity seems the best that can be
achieved.
. There is no perfect program; change should be expected from time to time
as the outcome of the Committee's periodic reviews.
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code ("Section 162(m)") limits the
corporate tax deduction to one million dollars for compensation paid annually
to any one of the named executive officers in the proxy, unless the
compensation meets certain requirements. The Committee adopted changes to the
compensation program, approved by shareholders in 1995, that qualify payments
under the Senior Executive Bonus Plan and Senior Executive Three Year
Performance Plan for tax deductibility under Section 162(m). These changes were
designed to maximize tax deductibility, while retaining the ability to attract,
retain and motivate executives to achieve our business objectives. Payments
under these plans were certified by the Compensation Committee for each payment
period in 1995.
As indicated below, the Base Salary of the named executive officers is set at
the median of the range of the salaries of individuals with similar positions
in companies of similar size to Cummins. The Committee intends to continue this
policy notwithstanding the enactment of Section 162(m).
COMPENSATION PROGRAM ELEMENTS
The Company's executive compensation program consists of four elements: Base
Salary, Short-Term Bonus, Medium-Term compensation, and Long-Term compensation.
Each is designed to accomplish a somewhat different objective. In total, they
are designed to fulfill the Company's basic goals of linking pay to financial
performance and paying competitively. All officers participate in each element
of the program.
We use survey data provided by our compensation consultants to determine
competitive levels of pay. These surveys include over 340 U.S. industrial
corporations (including the eleven companies that comprise the "Peer Group"
companies used in the Shareholder Return Performance Presentation on page 13 of
this Proxy Statement). Each element of pay described below is intended to
provide compensation for each position at the median of the amounts companies
of similar size in the survey would pay the same position.
1. Base Salary
Base Salary is reviewed annually. It is the only fixed portion of the
executive's compensation. Base Salary is normally set at the median of the
range of the salaries of individuals with similar positions in companies of
similar size to Cummins.
9
2. Short-Term Bonus
This element is designed to link executive pay to the short-term performance
of the Company. The payout is made quarterly, with the Payout Factor calculated
on a formula established by the Committee and reviewed annually. Each person is
assigned a participation rate that is a percent of salary. The quarterly bonus
is then determined as follows.
(Short-Term Bonus) equals (Annual Base Salary) times (participation
percentage assigned to each job) times (Payout Factor) times ( 1/4).
Participation rates are based on the same survey data as base salaries and
are set at the median of the range for like positions in similarly sized
companies.
The Payout Factor for the quarterly bonus is set to yield a 1.0 Payout Factor
for Company financial performance that is at the median of U.S. industrial
companies measured over recent history. In 1995, return on equity was the
measure used to compare performance. Return on equity levels are converted to
equivalent return on sales levels for use in the Payout Factor formula. In
determining the return on sales level equivalent to the market median return on
equity to establish the 1.0 Payout Factor point for the Short-Term Bonus Plan
for 1995, we used a full corporate tax rate, not taking credit for tax loss
carryforwards.
When the Company's performance is less than the median, the quarterly bonus
pays less than 1.0--and does not pay at all if the Company is not profitable.
When the Company's performance exceeds the median, the quarterly Payout Factor
is greater than 1.0 and compensation is greater than the median of those
companies included in our surveys.
In order to comply with the requirements of Section 162 (m), designated
officers (the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Operating Officer in 1995)
were compensated under a modified version of the Short-Term Bonus Plan, called
the Senior Executive Bonus Plan. The Senior Executive Bonus Plan differs from
the Short-Term Bonus Plan in which many employees at all levels of the Company,
including all officers, participate, only in that the Compensation Committee
has no discretion to increase the payouts once it establishes the performance
measures each year.
3. Medium-Term: Three Year Performance Plan
The Three Year Performance Plan measures Cummins' performance versus the Peer
Group companies over a rolling three-year cycle. For each three-year Award
Cycle, a Target Award is granted to each participant, expressed as a dollar
amount.
The Committee establishes performance guidelines to determine the portion of
the granted amount to be paid for each three-year Award Cycle. A new Award
Cycle begins each year, hence payout opportunity is annual. The first payout
under this program was in 1995. The performance measure for Award Cycles ending
before 1998 is return on equity. The Committee establishes a scale of multiples
of the Target Award to be paid for various levels of Company performance over
each Award Cycle. The plan pays the full granted amount if Cummins' performance
(based on the applicable performance measure) is equal to the median of the
Peer Group companies over the three-year cycle. A portion or multiple of the
granted amount is paid if three-year performance

is less or greater than the median of these companies, based on a scale
established by the Committee. The maximum that can be paid is two times the
Target Award for performance that is twice the median of the Peer Companies.
As with the Short-Term Bonus Plan, to comply with the requirements of Section
162(m), designated officers (the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating
Officer in 1995) were compensated under a modified version of the Three Year
Performance Plan, called the Senior Executive Three Year Performance Plan. The
plans are identical except that the Committee's discretion to adjust payments
upward is eliminated in the Senior Executive Three Year Performance Plan.
4. Long-Term: The 1992 Cummins Stock Incentive Plan
In December 1992, 1993, 1994, and 1995 restricted stock and stock options
were granted to officers under the 1992 Cummins Stock Incentive Plan.
Restrictions on the restricted stock will lapse on one-third of each grant
annually, beginning two years and one month from the date of each grant. The
stock options expire ten years from grant, but cannot be exercised for the
first two years.
Grant amounts under the Medium-Term and Long-Term plan elements are set to
provide total compensation opportunity at the median of that provided by
similarly-sized U.S. industrial companies in our survey base, when combined
with Base Salary and Short-Term Bonus. The Committee reviews the proportion of
total compensation that is dependent on Company performance in determining the
allocation of the compensation opportunity among each of the Medium-Term and
Long-Term plan elements for each position. More senior positions have a larger
proportion of total compensation opportunity dependent on Company performance
than do less senior positions.
COMPENSATION OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
James A. Henderson became Chief Executive Officer on July 12, 1994, and
Chairman on February 14, 1995, when Henry B. Schacht retired.
Approximately one-third of the CEO's annualized total compensation
opportunity is fixed Base Salary. Two-thirds of the total is based on Company
performance, assuming median Company financial performance. When the Company's
performance is better than the median, the variable compensation elements pay
more and comprise a larger portion of the total. When the Company's performance
is less than median, the variable elements pay less and comprise a smaller
proportion of the total.
The Base Salary and Short-Term Bonus participation rate of the CEO are set at
the median of our survey companies specifically as described under the Base
Salary and Short-Term Bonus sections appearing earlier in this report.
As it did in 1994, the Company exceeded market median financial performance
in 1995, and the Short-Term Bonus payouts reflect this performance. However,
Company performance in 1995 lagged that of 1994, and this is reflected in lower
bonus payouts for the CEO in 1995.
11
In December, 1995 the CEO received grants of restricted stock and stock
options under the Long-Term 1992 Stock Incentive Plan. Target Awards under the
Medium-Term Senior Executive Three Year Performance Plan were granted in
February for the 1995-1997 Award Cycle (payable in 1998) and in December for
the 1996-1998 Award Cycle (payable in 1999). The Committee intends to continue
making grants under both plans annually.
In determining grant amounts for the CEO, as explained earlier, the Committee
set the total of the four elements of the executive compensation program--Base
Salary, Short-Term Bonus, Medium-Term Plan, and the Long-Term Plan--to provide
annualized compensation opportunity to the CEO equal to the median of the range
of total compensation opportunity provided for CEOs by the survey companies
described earlier in this report.
The Committee reviews the CEO's performance annually, based on how well the
Company is implementing its business strategy and achieving its business
objectives, both short-term and long-term. This review considers both
quantitative and qualitative performance matters, and is a key factor in
setting the CEO's compensation.
We hope this general discussion and the following tables and graphs help you
understand the Company's executive compensation philosophy and program.

- ---------
(1) Pursuant to the Corporation's 1992 Stock Incentive Plan, a total of 83,125
shares of Restricted Stock were granted in 1995, having a total value at
date of grant of $3,206,319. Shares are restricted for two years and one
month subsequent to grant, then are vested in 1/3 annual increments in
years 3 through 5 subsequent to grant, if the participant remains an
employee of the Company. Dividends will be paid on these shares. As of
year-end 1995, the total number of shares of Restricted Stock and the
value thereof held by each executive officer was as follows: J. A.
Henderson, 28,669 shares, $1,060,753; T. M. Solso 16,918 shares, $625,966;
F. J. Loughrey, 10,284 shares, $380,508; J. K. Edwards, 7,750 shares,
$286,750; C. R. Cordaro, 7,250 shares, $268,250.
(2) Stock Options awarded pursuant to the Corporation's 1992 Stock Incentive
Plan. Stock Options may not be exercised for two years subsequent to grant
and expire ten years from grant.
(3) The payout for 1995 represents payout for the 1992-1994 Award Cycle under
the Three Year Performance Plan. This was the first payout under the Three
Year Performance Plan. The payout is calculated as the individual's Target
Award times Payout Factor for the Award Cycle. The Payout Factor was based
on the Corporation's Return on Equity compared to the median ROE of a
panel of eleven comparator companies over the Three Year Award Cycle.
The payout in 1994 represents payout for the 1989-1993 Award Cycle under
the Five Year Performance Plan. This was the final payout under that plan.
The payout was calculated as Base Salary times the individual's
Participation Percentage times Payout Factor for the Award Cycle. The
Payout Factor was based on the Corporation's Return on Equity compared to
the median ROE of a panel of eleven comparator companies over the Five Year
Award Cycle.
(4) Represents shares distributed under the Company's Performance Share Plan.
The Performance Share Plan was adopted in 1987 under which executive
officers and other key employees were awarded Share Rights to be converted
into shares of the Company's Common Stock by December 31, 2006, or earlier
as financial performance goals established by the Compensation Committee
were achieved. The Plan was intended to cover the seven-year period 1988
through 1994. There were no distributions of Share Rights for Plan Year
1988, Plan Year 1989, or Plan Year 1990. The distribution for Plan Year
1991 was made in February 1992; the 1992 distribution was made in February
1993; the 1993 distribution was made in February 1994; the final
distribution was made in January 1995.
(5) Amounts reported as "All Other Compensation" for 1995 include,
respectively, matching contributions by the Company under the Retirement
and Savings Plan, "above market" earnings on previously deferred
compensation, and premium payments made to the Supplemental Life Insurance
and Deferred Income Program as follows: J. A. Henderson ($413, $24,889 and
$27,398); T. M. Solso ($1,778, $18,186 and $18,060); F. J. Loughrey
($1,746, $6,324 and $12,650); C. R. Cordaro ($1,746, $8,939, and $12,867);
J. K. Edwards ($1,746, $0 and $15,712); and P. B. Hamilton ($1,715,
$17,602, and $17,427).

(1) No shares, units or other rights were awarded in the last fiscal year. The
Company has made targeted dollar awards under its Three Year Performance
Plan and Senior Executive Three Year Performance Plan, with payouts tied to
Company performance over a rolling three-year cycle, as determined by the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Committee establishes
performance measures as guidelines. For the 1995-1997 Award Cycle under the
Three Year Performance Plan (payable in 1998), and the 1995-1997 Award
Cycle (payable in 1998) and the 1996-1998 Award Cycle (payable in 1999)
under the Senior Executive Three Year Performance Plan, the performance
guidelines are tied to achieving certain levels of return on equity (ROE)
compared to the Peer Group companies. The Target Award will be earned if
the Company's ROE is equal to the median ROE of the Peer Group companies.
The Threshold Payment will be earned if the Company's ROE is 50% of the
Peer Group companies' median ROE. The Maximum Payment is earned if the
Company's ROE is 200% of the Peer Group companies' ROE.
(2) Granted under the Senior Executive Three Year Performance Plan for the
1995-1997 Award Cycle, payable in 1998.
(3) Granted under the Senior Executive Three Year Performance Plan for the

CHANGE OF CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS
In the event of a change of control of the Company, the Company will provide
benefits to certain executives including the Chief Executive Officer and other
executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table on page 14. Each of
the named executive officers would be entitled to three year's salary plus
twelve quarterly bonus payments. The Company will also provide for the full
vesting of certain insurance and retirement benefits and the continuation in
effect for a three-year severance period of certain other employee benefits. In
addition, the Company's retirement plans will allocate any actuarial surplus
assets to fund increased pension benefits, stock options previously granted
will become fully exercisable, and certain long-term incentive plan awards will
be paid in cash based on the completed portions of award cycles then in
progress. The value of supplemental and excess retirement annuity benefits will
also be paid in cash. A change of control for these purposes is defined in each
of the various plans and programs providing these benefits.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
The members of the Company's Compensation Committee are Hanna H. Gray, Harold
Brown, Donald S. Perkins, William D. Ruckelshaus and Franklin A. Thomas.
Member Harold Brown has a consulting arrangement with the Company pursuant to
which he provides consulting services in connection with the Company's research
and development activities and related technology issues. During 1995, the
Company paid Dr. Brown $50,000 for these services. In addition, the Company has
established a Science and Technology Advisory Council on which Dr. Brown serves
as Chairman. The Council advises senior management and the Board of Directors
on the direction and implication of developments in science, technology and
environmental issues that may have applicability to the Company's current and
future business goals and objectives. For his services on the Council, Dr.
Brown is paid an annual retainer of $17,000, including $7,000 for serving as
Chairman, and an additional fee of $3,000 for each day of meetings attended
during the year.
OTHER TRANSACTIONS AND AGREEMENTS WITH DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND CERTAIN
SHAREHOLDERS
Investment Agreements With Certain Shareholders
On July 16, 1990, the Company entered into (i) the Ford Investment Agreement,
pursuant to which, among other things, in consideration of $100,000,000
received from Ford, Ford was issued one share of a newly created series of the
Company's Preference Stock, designated Convertible Preference Stock, Series F
(the "Series F Preference Stock"), which Series F Preference Stock was
convertible into 1,600,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock and (ii) the
Tenneco Investment Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, in
consideration of $100,000,000 received from Tenneco, Tenneco was issued one
share of a newly created series of the Company's Preference Stock, designated
Convertible Preference Stock, Series T (the "Series T Preference Stock"), which
Series T Preference Stock was convertible into 1,600,000 shares of Common
Stock. On September 12, 1990, the shares of Series F and T Preference Stock
were converted into 1,600,000 shares of Common Stock each for Ford and Tenneco,
respectively.
On July 16, 1990, the Company entered into the Ford Stock Option Agreement
pursuant to which, among other things, for a six year period Ford has an option
(the "Option") to purchase 2,961,404 shares of Common Stock, subject to
adjustment for various actions that Ford or the Company may or may not take, at
a price per share equal to the higher of (x) $31.25 per share and (y) 120% of
the market price at the time of exercise of the Option thereunder. The option
price and number of shares subject to the Option may be adjusted to reflect
certain changes in the Company's capitalization and other purchases of voting
securities by Ford. The impact of these provisions may be to adjust the
exercise price and amount of voting securities Ford would be permitted to
acquire pursuant to the Option.
On December 29, 1993, pursuant to a Consent and Amendment to the Tenneco
Investment Agreement, the Company consented to Tenneco's transfer of all of its
shares of the Company's Common Stock to the Tenneco Inc. General Employee
Benefit Trust (the "GEBT"). Under the Consent and Amendment, all of Tenneco's
rights and obligations under the Tenneco Investment Agreement were assigned to
and assumed by the GEBT.
19
Each of Ford and the GEBT, pursuant to their respective rights under the
Investment Agreements, is entitled to designate one person (reasonably
satisfactory to the Company) for election to the Board. Ford is presently
entitled to designate at least one such person, and may in the future be
entitled to designate more, depending upon and in proportion to its percentage
ownership in the Company. In the event Ford owns at least 20% of the Company's
outstanding voting securities, it is entitled to designate a minimum of two
directors. The GEBT's right to designate a person for election to the Board
will be exercised by an investment manager pursuant to a direction from the
Investment Committee of the GEBT, provided that the investment manager may
decline to nominate the person who the Investment Committee directs it to
designate if such manager determines that its fiduciary duties under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 requires it to do so. Neither
Ford nor the GEBT will be entitled to designate any persons for election to the
Board if its respective percentage ownership of the voting power of the
Company's voting securities drops to below 10% as a result of the transfer of
voting securities. Messrs. Dabrowski and Mead have been nominated to serve as
directors of the Company pursuant to the Ford and Tenneco Investment
Agreements, respectively. See director nominee table beginning on page 3.
The term of each Investment Agreement is until the earliest of (i) the later
of six years and the first date on which the respective Investor ceases to
beneficially own voting securities representing at least 5% of the total voting
power of all then outstanding voting securities, and (ii) ten years; provided,
however, that certain provisions of the respective Investment Agreements will
explicitly survive their stated terms. Among the provisions which survive
termination of the agreement are the registration rights and share transfer
restrictions set forth in the Investment Agreement.
Other Transactions and Arrangements
Ford Motor Company and its affiliates purchase diesel engines, diesel engine
parts and related products from the Company. The Company reimburses certain of
Ford's warranty costs associated with these products and also purchases
gasoline engines and parts from Ford. During 1995, Ford paid the Company
approximately $367,100,000 and the Company paid Ford approximately $12,600,000
in connection with such transactions. Purchases of product on open account were
made on terms generally available to unaffiliated third parties at prices
determined through arms-length negotiation based upon market conditions and
other factors. The terms of sale for midrange engines to Ford and the pricing
for these products are governed by the Company's midrange engine supply
agreement with Ford.
Case Corporation and other subsidiaries of Tenneco Inc. purchase heavy-duty
and midrange diesel engines, components, service parts and related products and
services from the Company and its affiliates and the Company purchases engine
parts and components from Case. In 1995, Case and other Tenneco subsidiaries
paid the Company approximately $46,500,000 and the Company paid Case
approximately $833,000 for such purchases. In addition, a subsidiary of Case
and a subsidiary of the Company are partners in a joint venture which
manufactures midrange diesel engines for Case and the Company. Pursuant to the
partnership agreements, Case pays the Company for technical support and engine
order management services, and the Company pays Case for utilizing Case's
surplus joint venture manufacturing capacity. During 1995, Case paid the
Company approximately $7,065,000 and the Company paid Case approximately
$2,389,000
20
pursuant to such agreements. Purchases from the Company were made on terms
generally available to unaffiliated third parties at prices determined through
arms-length negotiation based upon market conditions and other factors. Case's
purchases from the Case-Cummins joint venture, and the prices paid for such
purchases, are governed by the terms of the joint venture agreements.
During 1995, the Company had agreements with companies owned or controlled by
Mr. J. I. Miller, whereby the Company leased office space from and shared the
expense of dining room and food services with such companies. The net amount
paid by the Company was $268,985. The Company believes such amount is
competitive with the amount that it would have paid to unrelated third parties
for comparable space and services.
Pursuant to the Company's 1986 Stock Option Plan, 1992 Stock Incentive Plan
and its Key Employee Stock Investment Plan, certain officers have exercised
options and purchased shares of Common Stock of the Company on an installment
basis. The interest rate on these loans is the minimum annual rate permitted
under the Internal Revenue Code without imputation of income. The following
table shows, as to those executive officers and directors of the Company who
were indebted to the Company in excess of $60,000 since January 1, 1995, the
largest aggregate amount owed for such purchases and loans at any time since
January 1, 1995, and the amount owed as of January 31, 1996:

The Company has a policy of purchasing from employees of the Company shares
of Common Stock of the Company that have been acquired under the Key Employee
Stock Investment Plan, 1986 Stock Option Plan and 1992 Stock Incentive Plan.
The purchase price for such shares is the closing price quoted on the New York
Stock Exchange Composite Tape on the date of purchase. During 1995, one
executive officer sold shares to the Company pursuant to this policy.
SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
(ITEM 2)
The Board of Directors has voted to appoint Arthur Andersen LLP as the firm
of independent public accountants to audit the accounts of the Company for the
year 1996. Arthur Andersen LLP has acted as independent public accountants for
the Company since 1952. Although the selection and appointment of independent
public accountants is not required to be submitted to a vote of the
shareholders, the Board of Directors has decided, as in the past, to ask
21
the Company's shareholders to ratify the appointment. A representative of
Arthur Andersen LLP will be present, will have the opportunity to make a
statement and will be available to answer appropriate questions at the Annual
Meeting of Shareholders.
The proposal to ratify the appointment of Arthur Andersen LLP as the firm of
independent public accountants to audit the accounts of the Company for the
year 1996 will be adopted if the number of votes cast in favor of ratification
exceeds the number of votes cast against ratification. Votes cast against and
abstentions on the Item will be counted as votes against the Item. Broker non-
votes will not change the number of votes cast for or against the Item. If the
shareholders do not ratify the selection of Arthur Andersen LLP, the selection
of independent public accountants will be determined by the Audit Committee and
the Board of Directors after careful consideration of all information submitted
by shareholders.
The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote FOR this Proposal.
OTHER BUSINESS
The Board of Directors does not know of any business to be presented for
action at the meeting other than that set forth in Items 1 and 2 of the Notice
of Annual Meeting of Shareholders. However, if other business properly comes

Dear Fellow Employee:
As a shareholder of Cummins stock, you are receiving today the Annual
Report to Shareholders, Proxy Statement and Proxy Card. In addition to other
Cummins shares you may own, you are a shareholder of Cummins stock through your
participation in the Cummins Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") or Cummins
Stock Fund ("CSF") portions of the Cummins Retirement and Savings Plan, or both.
Each year, shareholders have an opportunity to elect Cummins' Board of
Directors and to vote on other business matters described in the Proxy
Statement. The ESOP and CSF Trustees are the only shareholders of record for
your benefit plan shares and will vote on the proposals in the Proxy based on
your Proxy Card vote. All shares held in the ESOP that are not voted or have
not been credited to employee accounts will be voted by the Trustee on each
proposal in the same proportion as all shares voted on that proposal by ESOP
participants. Please complete and return your Proxy Card in the enclosed
envelope as soon as possible. Be sure to mark the box on the face of the Proxy
Card to designate it as a Trustee instruction.
If you own additional shares of Cummins Stock, you should not receive a

all your shares is intended to be accommodated on one Proxy Card.
