Item 5.   Other Events

Today,  AMR  Corporation's  principal  subsidiary,  American
Airlines,  Inc. ("American") gave notice that it is  drawing
$1.0 billion under its existing $1.0 billion credit facility
agreement which expires in 2001.

American  has  also  negotiated an additional  $1.0  billion
credit facility agreement underwritten by Morgan Guaranty
Trust Company of New York, The Chase Manhattan Bank, Citibank,
N.A., and Credit Suisse First Boston, which will expire 
December 31, 1997. There are no borrowings outstanding under
the new agreement at this time. Any borrowings under the new
agreement will be secured by aircraft  owned by American. To
the extent that the value of such aircraft exceeds any claims
due under the new agreement, the excess value will secure
borrowings under American's existing $1.0 billion credit
facility agreement.
