and Registrations; (Rogers Corporation, Capital Stock, $1 Par Value, 
and Rights to Purchase Capital Stock, $1 Par Value) File No. 1-04347

May 2, 2000.
    Rogers Corporation (``Company'') has filed an application with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to 
Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and 
Rule 12d2-2(d) thereunder, \2\ to withdraw the securities to described 
above (``Securities'') from listing and registration on the American 
Stock Exchange LLC (``Amex'').

    \2\ 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(d).

    The Company is seeking to withdraw its Securities from listing and 
registration on the Amex in conjunction with the commencement of their 
trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (``NYSE''). The Company 
hopes that, with a NYSE listing, it will be able to realize a broader 
market base for its Securities than it has had through the Amex.
    Subsequent to the filing of the Company's Registration Statements 
on Form 8-A with the Commission, which became effective on April 6, 
2000, trading in the Securities commenced on the NYSE, and was 
simultaneously suspended on the Amex, at the opening if business on 
April 18, 2000. In making the determination to withdraw its Securities 
from listing and registration on the Amex in conjunction with the new 
listing and registration on the NYSE, the Company hopes to avoid both 
the costs associated with maintaining dual listings and potential 
fragmentation of the market for its Securities.
    The Company has stated that it has complied with the rules of Amex 
governing the withdrawal of its Securities, and the Amex in turn has 
indicated that it will not opposed such withdrawal.
    The Company's application relates solely to the withdrawal of the 
Securities from listing and registration on the Amex and shall have no 
effect no effect upon the Securities' continued listing and 
registration on the NYSE. By reason of Section 12(b) of the Act \3\ and 
the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, the Company 
shall continue to be obligated to file reports with the Commission 
under Section 13 of the Act.\4\

letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549-0609, facts bearing upon 
whether the application has been made in accordance with the rules of 
the Amex and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission 
for the protection of investors. The Commission, based on the 
information submitted to it, will issue an order granting the 
application after the date
