Item 5.   Other Events

On January 8, 1997, the members of the Allied Pilots
Association ("APA" -- the union that represents pilots at
American Airlines, Inc. ("American")) rejected the tentative
agreement that had been reached between American and the
APA.  American is the principal subsidiary of AMR
Corporation (the "Corporation").  On January 10, 1997, the
National Mediation Board ("NMB") proffered binding
arbitration to the APA and American.  American agreed to
arbitration but because the APA did not also agree, the
proffer was rejected.  On January 15, 1997, the APA and
American were notified (i) that the NMB was terminating its
services and (ii) that beginning February 15, 1997, either
party could resort to self-help remedies which include, but
are not limited to, a strike by the members of the APA.
Although it is not possible to predict what actions the APA
may take after February 15, 1997, any work stoppage by the
pilots' union would have a material adverse impact on the
Corporation.
