                U. S. STEEL ANNOUNCES DISCOUNT ON STOCK PURCHASES
                       THROUGH DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

     PITTSBURGH, Feb. 8 - United States Steel Corporation (NYSE: X) announced
today that participants in its Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan
(Plan) will receive a 3 percent discount on initial and optional cash purchases
and on the reinvestment of dividends.  The discount is effective with Plan
purchases beginning February 8, 2002 and will continue until further notice.
The discount will be subtracted from the purchase price of shares purchased
pursuant to the Plan.
     Under terms of the Plan, purchases with reinvested dividends and optional
cash are entitled to a discount of zero to 3 percent, to be determined in the
sole discretion of the Corporation from time to time.

purchases and dividend reinvestments is treated as a dividend to the
shareholder.  Accordingly, the discount will be included in dividends reported
to the IRS and the participating shareholder on IRS Form 1099-DIV.  The
preceding tax discussion is for general information only and Plan participants
should consult their own tax advisors to determine the particular tax
consequences that may result from participation in the Plan.
