    "We're excited with the enthusiasm these children have exhibited," said
Kimberly Welch, vice president, electronic business and communications.  "They
have taken the clinics seriously, but have had fun learning the fundamentals
at the same time."
    More than 35 children have been introduced to the sport of tennis this
summer as a result of clinics held in Farmington, Pontiac and Clinton
Township, Michigan.  Each clinic participant has received a tennis racquet,
balls, T-shirt, refreshments, gifts and free tennis lessons.
    The Tennis Moguls is a three-year program that provides free summer tennis
clinics and more than 1,400 hours of personal lessons to children
participating in Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring programs.  It also
includes construction by Federal-Mogul of a community tennis court at
MacArthur Elementary School in Southfield, Michigan.  The hope is that these
clinics will give children in need exposure to tennis and the benefits of
tennis -- the sport's family orientation, low-cost and its potential role in
enhancing personal fitness and self-esteem.
    This program is the latest demonstration of Federal-Mogul's commitment to
the mission of Big Brothers Big Sisters.  The company has helped raise more
than $1 million for the organization since 1997; in addition, employees at the
Federal-Mogul World Headquarters in Southfield have provided at least 10,000
hours of volunteer time each year over the same period.
