1999 Contributions to Delphi Hourly Pension Fund Exceed $1 Billion

    TROY, Mich., Dec. 17 -- Delphi Automotive Systems
today announced it has used a portion of its strong year-to-date
cash flow to pre-pay an additional $325 million to its U.S. hourly pension
fund on December 15.  This contribution brings total voluntary payments for
the year to $1.2 billion.
    Delphi Chief Financial Officer Alan S. Dawes credited improvements in
working capital and ongoing solid earnings for the strong cash flow that
allowed Delphi to make the contribution.
    "Our continued strong cash flow levels have allowed us to further exceed
federal regulatory minimum requirements for pension funding and aggressively
pursue fully funding pension funds," said Dawes.
    "These contributions deliver value to our investors by positively
influencing earnings in 2000 and beyond.  Importantly, they show our employees
that we are committed to funding employee pension plans so they can maintain
their standard of living and continue to provide for themselves and their
families," he continued.
