Introductory Note
-----------------
First USA Bank, National Association, (the "Bank"), a direct wholly owned
subsidiary of BANK ONE CORPORATION ("BANK ONE"), is the Transferor, with respect
to the CC Master Credit Card Trust II (formerly Chevy Chase Master Credit Card
Trust II) (the "Trust") under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of
June 1, 1995, among the Bank, as Transferor and Servicer, and Bankers Trust
Company, as Trustee (the "Trustee"), as supplemented and amended (the "Pooling
and Servicing Agreement").
Effective September 17, 1999, the Bank, was merged with and into FCC National
Bank, an affiliated national banking association, and the surviving entity. The
surviving entity was renamed "First USA Bank, National Association".
The Certificates listed on page 1 hereof will be referred to collectively herein
as the "Certificates". The Certificates do not represent obligations of or
interests in the Bank.
The Bank will respond only to certain items of Form 10-K. In doing so, the Bank
will be relying on a letter dated July 31, 1989 from the Securities and Exchange
Commission, Division of Corporation Finance, Office of Chief Counsel to Chevy
Chase Bank, F.S.B., the then Servicer of the Trust, granting the Servicer of the
Trust relief from the requirement to respond to various items of Form 10-K. The
items to which the Bank is not required to respond are designated herein as "Not
Applicable".
PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Not Applicable
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Not Applicable
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no material pending legal proceedings with respect to the Trust,
involving the Trust, the Trustee or the Registrant. The Bank is a defendant in

normal course of business.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
Each of the Certificates, representing investors' interests in the Trust, are
represented by a single certificate registered in the name of Cede & Co., the
nominee for The Depository Trust Company ("DTC").
To the best knowledge of the Registrant, there is no established public trading
market for the Certificates.
ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
Not Applicable
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Throughout 1999, BANK ONE executed project plans to assure Year 2000 readiness.
These plans included verifying the readiness of internal information technology
systems and equipment, and working with external entities, including customers,
vendors, utilities and governmental agencies, to verify that they had
appropriately addressed Year 2000 readiness issues. Specific business
continuity and event plans were designed to address potential disruption and
ensure that BANK ONE was positioned to rapidly respond to issues.
BANK ONE had estimated total Year 2000 readiness costs to reach $350 million
over the life of the project, and incurred total costs of approximately $343
million.
BANK ONE had an uneventful transition to the Year 2000. BANK ONE's systems,
equipment and facilities continued and continue to function normally through the
transition and into Year 2000. Normal products and services of BANK ONE have
been available to customers throughout such time, and BANK ONE experienced no
significant impact from Year 2000 readiness status of external entities. To
meet potential Year 2000 contingencies and potential liquidity needs, BANK ONE
increased the value of loans pledged to the Federal Reserve for discount window
borrowing.
On an ongoing basis, BANK ONE will continue to monitor its systems, equipment
and facilities throughout 2000 and beyond.

Each of the Certificates, representing investor's interests in the Trust, are
represented by a single certificate registered in the name of Cede & Co., the
nominee of DTC, and an investor holding an interest in the Trust is not entitled
to receive a Certificate representing such interest except in certain limited
circumstances. Accordingly, Cede & Co. is the sole holder of record of the
Certificates, which it held on behalf of approximately 65 brokers, dealers,
banks and other direct participants in the DTC system at December 31, 1999.
Such direct participants may hold Certificates for their own accounts or for the

LETTERHEAD OF ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
We have examined the accompanying management's assertion about First USA Bank,
N.A.'s (the "Servicer"), compliance with the covenants and conditions set forth
in Article III (Administration and Servicing of Receivables) and Article IV
(Rights of Certificateholders and Allocation and Application of Collections) and
Section 8.08 of the CC Master Credit Card Trust II (formerly the Chevy Chase
Master Credit Card Trust II) Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of June
1, 1995 (as amended), between the Servicer and Bankers Trust (as Trustee for
the various Certificateholders and Enhancement Providers of the CC Master Credit
Card Trust II) and the applicable provisions of each Supplement, (collectively,
the "Agreement"), as of September 30, 1999. Management is responsible for the
Servicer's compliance with the Agreement. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on management's assertion about the Servicer's compliance based on our
examination.
Our examination was made in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, included
examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Servicer's compliance with those
requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in
the circumstances. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
As discussed in management's assertion, management, in providing its assertion
on compliance, assumed the accuracy of the reports prepared by the Servicer's
third party credit card processor and did not extend its assessment to the
relevant aspects of the Servicer's compliance that are the responsibility of the
third party credit card processor. Accordingly, our examination did not extend
to these aspects of the Servicer's compliance that are the responsibility of the
third party credit card processor, and we do not express an opinion or any other
form of assurance on these compliance aspects.
In our opinion, management's assertion that the Servicer complied with the
covenants and conditions of the sections of the Agreement referred to above as
of September 30, 1999,is fairly stated, in all material respects.
/s/ Arthur Andersen LLP
Chicago, Illinois
November 19, 1999
ASSERTION BY FIRST USA BANK, N.A.
The management of First USA Bank, N.A. (the "Servicer") is responsible for
complying with the covenants and conditions set forth in Article III
(Administration and Servicing of Receivables), Article IV (Rights of
Certificateholders and Allocation and Application of Collections) and Section
8.08 of the CC Master Credit Card Trust II (formerly the Chevy Chase Master
Credit Card Trust II) Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of June 1, 1995
(as amended), between the Servicer and Bankers Trust (as Trustee for the various
Certificateholders and Enhancement Providers of the CC Master Credit Card Trust
II) and the applicable provisions of each Supplement, (collectively, the
"Agreement").
Management has performed an evaluation of the Servicer's compliance with the
Agreement and based on this evaluation management believes that the Servicer has
complied with the covenants and conditions of the sections of the Agreement
referred to above as of September 30, 1999. During the year, the Servicer
experienced some delays in the posting of payments to customer accounts due to
backlogs that occurred at our third party processor. Our relationship with this
processor has since been terminated and as of September 30, 1999, payments are
being processed internally and in accordance with Bank policy. Management has
worked diligently to reimburse in full cardholders affected by the above delays
for any and all fees and finance charges incurred as a result of the delays.
In providing this assertion on compliance, we have assumed the accuracy of the
reports prepared by the Servicer's third party credit card processor and did not
extend our assessment to the relevant aspects of the Servicer's compliance that
are the responsibility of the third party credit card processor. Accordingly,
our assessment does not extend to these aspects of the Servicer's compliance
that are the responsibility of the third party credit card processor, and we do
not express any form of assurance on these compliance aspects.
