ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

     Medium Term Notes

     On November 8, 1996, a Committee of the Board of Directors
of the Registrant (the "Committee") approved the implementation
of a medium-term note program, pursuant to which certain officers
of the Registrant may cause it to issue from time to time up to
$2,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of certain medium-term
notes, which may be senior debt securities, designated as the
Senior Medium-Term Notes, Series F (the "Senior Medium-Term
Notes") or subordinated debt securities, designated as the
Subordinated Medium-Term Notes, Series F (the "Subordinated
Medium-Term Notes" and, together with the Senior Medium-Term
Notes, the "Medium-Term Notes"), or any combination thereof, and
may establish the price, terms and conditions and the specific
method of distribution of the Medium-Term Notes.  The Senior
Medium-Term Notes will be issued under an Indenture dated as of
January 1, 1995 between the Registrant and First Trust of New
York, National Association, as successor trustee to BankAmerica
National Trust Company.  The Subordinated Medium-Term Notes will
be issued under an Indenture dated as of January 1, 1995 between
the Registrant and The Bank of New York.  The resolutions of the
Committee are included as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

     On November 8, 1996, the Registrant entered into a
distribution agreement with the agents named therein (the "United
States Distribution Agreement"), the terms of which will govern
sales of the Medium-Term Notes.  The Medium-Term Notes are 
described generally in the Prospectus dated July 12, 1996
constituting a part of the Registration Statement (hereinafter
described), as supplemented by a Prospectus Supplement dated
November 8, 1996.  The United States Distribution Agreement is
included as Exhibit 1.1 hereto.

     The Medium-Term Notes will be issued from time to time
pursuant to the Registrant's Registration Statement on Form S-3,
Registration No. 333-7229 (the "Registration
Statement"), on a delayed basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The Registration Statement
registered up to $3,000,000,000 aggregate initial offering price
of the Registrant's unsecured debt securities (either senior or
subordinated), shares of its preferred stock (which may be
represented by depositary shares) and shares of its common stock
and was declared effective on July 12, 1996.
