      This Amendment No. 1 amends the Statement on Schedule 13D
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28,
1997 (the "Schedule 13D") by First Bank System, Inc. ("FBS").
This Amendment No. 1 is filed with respect to the shares of
Common Stock, par value $5.00 per share (the "USBC Common
Stock"), of U. S. Bancorp ("USBC").  Unless otherwise defined
herein, all capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to
them in the Schedule 13D.

      Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended in its
entirety to read as follows:

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

      The merger (the "Merger") of USBC with and into FBS was
consummated and became effective on August 1, 1997. As a result
of the Merger, FBS changed its name to "U.S. Bancorp" ("New
USBC"). The Option granted by USBC to FBS, pursuant to which FBS
had the right, upon the occurrence of certain events, to purchase
from USBC up to 29,463,624 shares of USBC Common Stock (or such
other number of shares of USBC Common Stock as at the time of
exercise equaled 19.9% of the then outstanding shares of USBC
Common Stock) for $47.75 per share, terminated at the effective
time of the Merger. As a result of the Merger, the Owned Shares
were cancelled and each of the Fiduciary Shares was converted
into 0.755 of a share of common stock of New USBC. Accordingly,
this Amendment No. 1 constitutes the Final Amendment to the
Schedule 13D.
