ORGANIZATION CHANGES
At the Annual Meeting of Shareholders in May 2000, Robert S. Coleman did not stand for reelection to the Board of Directors due to the demands of his business. Mr. Coleman’s wise counsel over the nine years he served on the Board is missed.

A. Stanley West, who was Senior Vice President-Sales and Commercial Planning, retired after 33 years with Cliffs and a 41-year career in the iron and steel industry. Mr. West’s in-depth knowledge of the steel industry in the United States and Canada was instrumental in Cliffs being the leading producer and merchant of iron ore in North America.

George N. Chandler, II, Vice President-Reduced Iron, and Richard F. Novak, Vice President-Labor Relations, retired after 38 and 31 years of service, respectively. They made many contributions to Cliffs.

Richard L. Shultz, formerly Director of Iron Making Technology, was named Vice President-Reduced Iron Sales and Business Development.

Randy L. Kummer joined Cliffs as Vice President-Human Resources. Mr. Kummer was formerly Vice President-Human Resources, Government and Public Affairs of Kennecott Energy Company.
