The following amendments to the Ford Motor Company Tax Efficient Savings Plan
for Hourly Employees (the "Plan") were adopted on January 16, 2002:

o        An increase of certain Plan limits, including the pre-tax maximum
         elective deferral amount to $11,000 in 2002 with future increases of
         $1,000 each year through 2006.

o        For Plan Years commencing after December 31, 2001, increase the annual
         compensation limit for determining contributions to $200,000.

o        Change of the automatic pass through election for dividends paid on
         Ford Stock held in the Ford Stock Fund to the reinvestment option
         instead of distribution to participants option for dividends declared
         and payable after January 1, 2002.

o        Permit rollovers into the Plan from other qualified sources, including
         permitting Plan participants to roll assets from a deceased spouse's
         qualified plan.

o        Adoption of the new Internal Revenue Service Minimum Required
         distribution regulations that offer Plan participants the benefit of
         the most favorable distribution period available.

o        Effective April 1, 2002, increase the amount a Plan participant may
         contribute from 25% of base pay to 40% of base pay.

o        Effective April 1, 2002, increase the Internal Revenue Code Section 415
         Limit to lesser of 100% of pay or $40,000.

o        Effective April 1, 2002, the Plan's investment options will be reduced
         from 61 to 36. The new investment options results in 43 deleted funds
         and 18 added funds. Exhibit 1 lists the investment options to be
         offered in the Plan. Exhibit 2 lists the investment options to be
         closed to employee contributions and exchanges. The funds listed in
         Exhibit 2 are closed to new contributions, loan repayments, and
         exchanges into the funds effective April 1, 2002. Plan participants
         will have until March 31, 2003 to transfer those assets to other
         investment options. On March 31, 2003, assets remaining in those funds
         will be transferred to Interest Income Fund.

o        The name of the Common Stock Fund is changed to the Common Stock Index
         Fund and the name of the Bond Fund is changed to the Bond Index Fund.
