STATEMENT UNDER OATH OF PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICER
REGARDING FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES
RELATING TO EXCHANGE ACT FILINGS
I, Joseph Galli, Jr., principal executive officer, state and attest
that:
(1) To the best of my knowledge, based upon a review of the covered
reports of Newell Rubbermaid Inc., and, except as corrected or
supplemented in a subsequent covered report:
* no covered report contained an untrue statement of a
material fact as of the end of the period covered by such
report (or in the case of a report on Form 8-K or definitive
proxy materials, as of the date on which it was filed); and
* no covered report omitted to state a material fact necessary
to make the statements in the covered report, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading
as of the end of the period covered by such report (or in
the case of a report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy
materials, as of the date on which it was filed).
(2) I have reviewed the contents of this statement with the company's
audit committee.
(3) In this statement under oath, each of the following, if filed on
or before the date of this statement, is a "covered report":
* the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2001 of Newell Rubbermaid Inc. filed with the
Commission;
* all reports on Form 10-Q, all reports on Form 8-K and all
definitive proxy materials of Newell Rubbermaid Inc. filed
with the Commission subsequent to the filing of the Form
