STATEMENT UNDER OATH OF PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL
OFFICER REGARDING FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES RELATING TO EXCHANGE ACT FILINGS

I, James E. Rohr, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, state and attest that:

(1) To the best of my knowledge, based upon a review of the covered reports
of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (the "Company"), and, except
as corrected or supplemented in a subsequent covered report:

- no covered report contained an untrue statement of a material
fact as of the end of the period covered by such report (or in
the case of a report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy
materials, as of the date on which it was filed); and

- no covered report omitted to state a material fact necessary
to make the statements in the covered report, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading as of
the end of the period covered by such report (or in the case
of a report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy materials, as of
the date on which it was filed).

(2) I have reviewed the contents of this statement with the Company's audit
committee.

(3) In this statement under oath, each of the following, if filed on or
before the date of this statement, is a "covered report":

- the Annual Report on Form 10-K of The PNC Financial Services
Group, Inc. for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 filed
with the Commission;

- all reports on Form 10-Q, all reports on Form 8-K and all
definitive proxy materials of The PNC Financial Services
Group, Inc., filed with the Commission subsequent to the
filing of the Form 10-K identified above; and

- any amendments to any of the foregoing.
