          (the Schedule 13D, as amended by Amendment No. 1, 
          Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3, Amendment No. 4,
          Amendment No. 5, Amendment No. 6, Amendment No. 7,
          Amendment No. 8, Amendment No. 9, Amendment No. 10 and
          Amendment No. 11, the "Amended Schedule 13D"), with
          regard to the Common Stock of Commercial Federal
          Corporation ("CFC") by supplementing Item 4 of the
          Amended Schedule 13D as set forth below (terms defined in
          previous Amendments and not defined herein are used
          herein with the same meaning). 

          ITEM 4.   PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

                    Item 4 is hereby supplemented and amended by
          adding thereto the following:

                    As previously disclosed, in connection with the
          Annual Meeting of CFC's stockholders held on November 21,
          1995, CAI solicited proxies from the stockholders of CFC
          (i) for the election of its two nominees, Robin R.
          Glackin and Steven M. Ellis, as directors of CFC, (ii)
          for the adoption of a stockholder resolution proposed by
          CAI requesting the CFC Board to seek promptly a sale or
          merger of CFC by retaining a qualified investment banking
          firm for the specific purpose of soliciting offers to
          acquire CFC and establishing a committee of independent
          directors (including, if elected, the CAI nominees) to
          consider and recommend to the full CFC Board for approval
          the best available offer to acquire CFC and (iii) against
          the adoption of a resolution proposed by the CFC Board. 
          The CFC Board opposed CAI's solicitation.  

                    The results of the voting at the Annual Meeting
          were certified by independent inspectors of election on
          December 11, 1995.  According to the certified results,
          CAI's nominees were duly elected to the CFC Board, and
          its stockholder resolution was duly adopted, in each case
          by a substantial margin.  In addition, CFC's stockholders
          rejected by a substantial margin the resolution proposed
          by the CFC Board.  

                    Although the foregoing represents the range of
          activities presently contemplated by CAI with respect to
          CFC and the CFC Common Stock, it should be noted that the
          possible activities of CAI are subject to change at any
          time.  Except as set forth in this Item 4 (including all
          material disclosed in the original Schedule 13D, this
          amendment and in all previous amendments thereto under
          this Item 4) or in the exhibits to the Schedule 13D
          (including the original Schedule 13D, this amendment and
          all previous amendments thereto), CAI has no plans or
          proposals which relate to or which would result in any of
          the actions specified in Clauses (a) through (j) of Item
          4 of Schedule 13D.  

          SIGNATURES AND POWER OF ATTORNEY

                    After reasonable inquiry and to the best of the
          undersigneds' knowledge and belief, the undersigned
          certify that the information set forth in this statement
          is true, complete and correct.
