Item 5.           Other Events

         On May 2, 2004, Allegheny Technologies Incorporated announced that it
expects that the closing of the previously announced acquisition of certain
assets of J&L Specialty Steel, LLC ("J&L") by a wholly owned subsidiary of ATI
Allegheny Ludlum, which had an original target closing date of May 3, 2004, will
be rescheduled to permit ratification of a new collective bargaining agreement
covering United Steelworkers of America (USWA) represented employees at both
Allegheny Ludlum and J&L. Allegheny Technologies further announced that it
believes that a tentative agreement with the USWA can be reached by May 5, 2004,
and that full ratification should occur on or before May 28, 2004 and that,
accordingly, ATI anticipates being able to close the transaction on or before
June 1, 2004. A copy of the press release announcing the rescheduling is filed
as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
