Item 5.   Other Events

On  February 15, 1997, at approximately 12:01 a.m. EST,  the
Allied   Pilots  Association  ("APA"  --  the   union   that
represents  pilots at American Airlines, Inc.  ("American"),
the  principal  subsidiary of AMR Corporation)  initiated  a
strike  against American.  Immediately thereafter,  however,
President  Clinton intervened and appointed  a  Presidential
Emergency Board ("PEB"), pursuant to his authority under the
Railway  Labor  Act.   The  effect  of  President  Clinton's
actions  was  to stop the strike and begin a process  during
which  the  PEB  will  review  the  positions  advocated  by
American  and  the  APA and propose a solution.   The  PEB's
recommendation is expected by mid-March 1997.  At this  time
it is unclear what resolution will be proposed by the PEB or
whether  it will be acceptable to both parties.  If the  PEB
resolution  is  not  accepted by both  parties  (or  if  the
parties  do not reach some other agreement), and unless  the
President and/or the Congress take additional action, either
party  will be permitted to resort to self-help remedies  30
days   after  the  PEB  makes  its  recommendation  to   the
President.   The  self-help remedies include,  but  are  not
limited  to, a strike by the members of the APA.   Any  work
stoppage  by  the APA members would have a material  adverse
impact on AMR Corporation.
