ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

     Medium Term Notes

     On January 10, 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 $1,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of
certain medium-term notes, which may be senior debt securities, designated as
the Senior Medium-Term Notes, Series E (the "Senior Medium-Term Notes") or
subordinated debt securities, designated as the Subordinated Medium-Term Notes,
Series E (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 January 10, 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 November 24, 1995 constituting a
part of the Registration Statement (hereinafter described), as supplemented by a
Prospectus Supplement dated January 10, 1996. The United States Distribution
Agreement is included as Exhibit 99.2 hereto.

     The Medium-Term Notes will be issued from time to time pursuant to the
Registrant's Registration Statement on Form S-3, as amended, Registration No.
33-63097 (the "Registration Statement"), on a delayed basis pursuant to Rule 415
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Registration Statement

Registrant's unsecured debt securities (either senior or subordinated), shares
of its preferred stock (whichmay be represented by depositary shares) and shares
of its common stock and was declared effective on November 24, 1995. The
Registrant has not yet issued any securities under the Registration Statement.
