     STATEMENT UNDER OATH OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER REGARDING FACTS AND
                CIRCUMSTANCES RELATING TO EXCHANGE ACT FILINGS


I, Thomas L. Reece, state and attest that:

(1)      To the best of my knowledge, based upon a review of the covered reports
         of Dover  Corporation  (the  "Company"),  and,  except as  corrected or
         supplemented in a subsequent covered report:

         o    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

         o    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":

         o    Annual Report of Dover Corporation on Form 10-K for the year ended
              December  31,  2001,   filed  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange
              Commission (the "Commission") on March 1, 2002;

         o    all  reports  on  Form  10-Q,  all  reports  on  Form  8-K and all
              definitive  proxy  materials of Dover  Corporation  filed with the
              Commission  subsequent  to the filing of the Form 10-K  identified
              above; and
