             GULFSTREAM AEROSPACE TO ACQUIRE K-C AVIATION FROM
                  KIMBERLY-CLARK FOR $250 MILLION IN CASH

Will Significantly Increase Gulfstream's Capacity In Completions And Service;
 Acquisition Also Expected To Be Accretive To Gulfstream's EPS In First Year
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     SAVANNAH,  GA, and DALLAS, TX, July 24, 1998 - - Gulfstream  Aerospace
Corporation  (NYSE: GAC) and  Kimberly-Clark  Corporation (NYSE: KMB) today
announced they have signed a definitive agreement for Gulfstream to acquire
K-C  Aviation,  a leading  provider of  business  aviation  services,  from
Kimberly-Clark for $250 million in cash.

     K-C  Aviation  is  the  largest  independent   completion  center  for
corporate aircraft in North America,  with annual revenues of approximately
$200  million.   Specializing   in  custom  work,  it  also  has  extensive
refurbishment  and  maintenance  operations  focused on the high-end of the
corporate aviation market. K-C Aviation has a superb reputation for quality
and craftsmanship, and has been named "Best Completion Center" for the last
five years by Professional Pilot magazine.

     Gulfstream  said  the  acquisition  will  substantially  increase  its
aircraft completion capacity, support its rapidly growing service business,
and give it strong refurbishment capabilities. K-C Aviation's facilities in
Texas,  Wisconsin,  and  Massachusetts  will also  complement  Gulfstream's
current  facilities  in  Georgia  and  California  to give  the  Company  a
nationwide  network,  increasing  convenience  and response  capability for
customers.

     The transaction is subject to regulatory  approvals and is expected to
be completed in the third quarter. Gulfstream expects the acquisition to be
accretive  to  earnings  per  share  beginning  in the  first  full year of
operations. It will be funded from Gulfstream's cash on hand.

     "Like Gulfstream, K-C Aviation is simply the best in its business, and
it shares our dedication to unmatched quality and service," said Gulfstream
Chairman Theodore J. Forstmann.  "We have ramped up production to 64 planes
for  1999 to meet  growing  customer  demand  for both  Gulfstream  IVs and
Gulfstream  Vs,  and now we are  making  a major  investment  in  increased
completion  and service  capacity.  Gulfstream  will now have 18 additional
completion  slots in 1999 which will help us work through  existing backlog
faster -- and we will  also be able to  deliver  aircraft  sooner to people
placing new orders today."

     "K-C  Aviation is a great  company,  and the decision to sell it was a
difficult one," said Wayne Sanders, chairman and chief executive officer of
Kimberly-Clark.  "With  an  objective  of  focusing  on our  core  consumer
products  business,  we  determined  that the best course of action for the
future of K-C  Aviation and its  employees  was to align the company with a
corporation  whose core  business is  aviation.  It was very  important  to
Kimberly-Clark  to  find  a  company  that  will  continue  K-C  Aviation's
philosophy of  perfection,  value and quality,  the concepts upon which the
company was built. We believe Gulfstream has the same philosophy and is the
ideal buyer for this  business.  This is a big growth  opportunity  for the
company and for K-C  Aviation's  employees  who have worked hard to make it
the number one independent aviation services provider in the world."

     Jim Johnson,  president  and chief  operating  officer of  Gulfstream,
said,  "We welcome the  talented  team at K-C  Aviation to  Gulfstream.  We
expect no significant  changes in K-C Aviation's  management or work force,
and will begin  business  operations and  integration  under the Gulfstream
name  immediately  upon  closing.   In  addition  to  enhanced   completion
capabilities,   this  acquisition  will  give  us  more  capacity  to  keep
increasing  our share of the service  business for the  worldwide  fleet of
corporate  aircraft.  We will be able to reduce  maintenance  downtime  for
Gulfstream  customers and increase  flexibility in scheduling.  We are also
committed to maintaining K-C Aviation's specialized  maintenance teams that
now  service  other types of aircraft  and provide  maintenance  for a wide
variety of engines and auxiliary  power units." John Rahilly,  president of
K-C Aviation, will report to Johnson.
