audit will be completed prior to July 13, 2000.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pursuant  to  Rule  12b-25  of the  General  Rules  and  Regulations  under  the
Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934,  we inform you that we have been  furnished a
copy of Form  12b-25 to be filed by  Louisiana-Pacific  Corporation  on or about
June 28, 2000, which contains notification of the registrant's inability to file
its Form 11-K by June 28, 2000. We have read the Company's  statements contained
in Part III therein and we agree with the stated reason as to why we were unable
to complete our audit by June 28, 2000,  and report on the financial  statements
of the  Louisiana-Pacific  Salaried  401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan for the year
ended December 31, 1999, to be included in the Form 11-K.

Very truly yours,

/s/ KPMG LLP
