                   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 U. S. Bancorp.  This Amendment
         No. 1 is filed with respect to the shares of common stock, par
         value $1.25 per share (the "FBS Common Stock"), of First Bank
         System, Inc. ("FBS").  Unless otherwise defined herein, all
         capitalized terms shall have the meanings given such terms in
         the Schedule 13D.

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

                   Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

                        The merger (the "Merger") of U. S. Bancorp with
                   and into FBS (in connection with which the name of
                   FBS was changed to "U.S. Bancorp") was consummated on
                   August 1, 1997.

                        The option granted by FBS to U. S. Bancorp, pur-
                   suant to which U. S. Bancorp had the right, upon the
                   occurrence of certain events, to purchase from FBS up
                   to 26,551,018 shares of FBS Common Stock for $77.50
                   per share, terminated according to its terms at the
                   effective time of the Merger.

                        Also in connection with the consummation of the
                   Merger, the subsidiaries of U. S. Bancorp that held
                   26,036 shares of FBS Common Stock in a fiduciary ca-
                   pacity became, as a result of such Merger, subsid-
                   iaries of FBS.
