Explanation of Responses:

1.	Share numbers are rounded.

Investments in the SSP (International Paper Salaried Savings Plan) and DCSP (International Paper Deferred Compensation Savings Plan) are in a unitized fund of shares and cash. The investment in the DCSP operates similar to the SSP company stock fund, and the number of units will vary as the price of the Issuer’s common stock varies.

3.	Between January 1, 2002 and December 31, 2002, the reporting person acquired 42 shares of International Paper common stock under the SSP. The information in this report is based on a plan statement dated as of December 31, 2002.
