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


I, Lawrence R. Johnston, state and attest that:

1) To the best of my  knowledge,  based upon a review of the covered  reports of
Albertson's,  Inc.,  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  Albertson's,  Inc. on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
          ended January 31, 2002, filed with the Commission on April 18, 2002;

     o    all reports on Form 10-Q,  all reports on Form 8-K and all  definitive
          proxy  materials  of  Albertson's,  Inc.  filed  with  the  Commission
          subsequent to the filing of the Form 10-K identified above; and

     o    any amendments to any of the foregoing.
