COLUMBUS, Ind.--Oct. 1, 20043, 2004--Cummins Inc. announced today that Carl Ware, a retired Coca-Cola executive and a former Atlanta councilman, has been elected to the Company's Board of Directors. Ware becomes the ninth member of the Cummins Board and his term begins immediately.

Ware retired from the Coca-Cola Co. in 2003 after a career in which he served as the first president of the company's Africa Group and as the executive vice president of Public Affairs and Administration. He was the principal architect of Coca-Cola's 1986 disinvestment from South Africa.

Ware served on the Atlanta City Council. He was elected to the post in 1973 and served as the council president from 1976 to 1979.

"We are pleased that a person of Carl's caliber is joining the Board of Directors," said Cummins Chairman and CEO Tim Solso. "His business experience in the global marketplace and commitment to public service will make him a valuable member of the Cummins Board."

Ware, 61, will serve on the Board's Finance, Audit, Governance and Nominating, and Technology and Environment committees. His term shall run through the Company's next annual meeting, set for April 2005. All Cummins directors are elected annually. Two Cummins Directors - Frank Thomas and Walter Elisha - retired from the Board in April.

Ware currently serves as the chairman of the Nelson Mandela Invitational golf tournament, which benefits the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund. He is also a director of ChevronTexaco, Georgia Power, Coca-Cola Bottlers Consolidated, PGA TOUR Golf Course Properties and the Atlanta Falcons.

Ware earned his bachelor's degree from Clark College in Atlanta and his master's degree in urban planning from the University of Pittsburgh. Ware, who is married, now owns the Coweta County, Georgia, farm where he was born and raised.
