    *  Juergen Schrempp:  'Signal for humanity and solidarity'
    *  Additional fund established for contributions from employees, dealers,
       suppliers of DaimlerChrysler

    AUBURN HILLS, Mich., and STUTTGART, Germany, Sept. 13 DaimlerChrysler is committing $10 million, through the DaimlerChrysler
Corporation Fund, to support the children of victims of the terrorist attacks.
Additional donations from members of the DaimlerChrysler family around the
globe -- including employees, dealers and suppliers -- will be established
through the Fund, said DaimlerChrysler AG Chairman Juergen E. Schrempp.

    "In these difficult hours, for the civilized world and especially for the
American people, we want to send a signal of humanity and solidarity," said
Mr. Schrempp.  "The attacks have deeply affected the lives and futures of many
children who have lost a mother or father.  While this can never replace the
void in these children's lives, it can help give them renewed hope."

    In addition, DaimlerChrysler employees, dealers and suppliers around the
world have expressed a desire to help in this effort.  As a result,
DaimlerChrysler will open an account so that contributions can be made from
the DaimlerChrysler family around the globe.

    The money will be used for various kinds of support, including educational
needs.
