          RE:  Resignation
               -----------

Gentlemen:

     Attached is my signed written notice of resignation as a Director of
ROHN Industries, Inc. It is effective upon receipt. My resignation of the
UNR Asbestos-Disease Claims Trust is prompted by concerns similar to those
that led to the resignation as ROHN Directors of Messrs. Laeri and Levine.

                                        Sincerely,


                                        /s/ Gene Locks
                                        ---------------------------------
