ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

     On September 20, 1999, Marriott International, Inc. issued $300 million
principal amount of 7 7/8% Series C Notes due 2009 in an underwritten public
offering. We received net proceeds of approximately $296 million from this
offering, after paying underwriting discounts and commissions and offering
expenses. We plan to use these proceeds to repay commercial paper borrowings,
and for other corporate purposes which may include working capital, capital
expenditures, acquisitions and stock repurchases.

     The notes will mature on September 15, 2009.

     We issued the notes under an indenture with The Chase Manhattan Bank, as
trustee, dated November 16, 1998.

     The underwriting agreement and terms agreement under which we sold the
notes, the form of the notes, and the indenture under which the notes were
