             XEROX RETAINS PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPERS AS NEW ACCOUNTANTS

STAMFORD, Conn., Oct. 5, 2001 - Xerox Corporation today announced that 
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP has been named the company's independent accountants 
for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2001, replacing KPMG LLP.

"KPMG and Xerox have had a long and important relationship," said Paul A. 
Allaire, Xerox chairman. "While Xerox appreciates their service on our behalf, 
the Board and its Audit Committee believe it is appropriate at this time to 
bring in new accountants.  We fully expect a  smooth and  seamless transition to
Pricewaterhousecoopers."

Xerox today is filing a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
detailing the change in the company's independent auditor.

The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors approved this week the company's 
decision to change independent accountants.
