     3.  Investment Securities (cont'd)

          On December 8, 1995, consistent with the implementation guidance
     provided in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Special
     Report titled "A Guide to the Implementation of Statement 115 on
     Accounting for Certain Debt and Equity Securities", the
     Corporation reassessed the appropriateness of the classification
     of securities in the held-to-maturity portfolio and elected to
     transfer all securities from the held-to-maturity portfolio to the
     available-for- sale portfolio.

          At March 31, 1996, $15,664,000 of the total impaired loans were
     measured using the fair value of the loan's collateral.  The remaining
     impaired loans of $7,031,000 represented loans with recorded investments
     of less than $500,000 which were measured at the outstanding loan
     balance less any specific reserves.  The $652,000 valuation allowance
     for impaired loans at March 31, 1996 and the activity related to
     impaired loans for the three months ended March 31, 1996 is included
     in the allowance for credit losses discussed below.

          In certain circumstances, a nonaccrual loan may not meet the
     definition of an impaired loan under Statement of Financial
     Accounting Standards No.  114 and 118, "Accounting by Creditors
     for Impairment of a Loan".  At March 31, 1996, the difference
     between total nonaccrual loans and total impaired loans was $10.8
     million which included the following: nonaccrual residential loans
     of $7.0 million which were considered smaller balance homogeneous
     loans and a $3.8 million nonaccrual foreign loan which is
     classified as a nonaccrual loan due to regulatory requirements but
     does not meet the definition of an impaired loan.

          The provision for credit losses is determined by analyzing the
     status of individual loans, reviewing historical loss experience and
     reviewing the delinquency of principal and interest payments where
     pertinent.  Management believes that all uncollectible amounts have
     been charged off and that the allowance is adequate to cover all losses

     </TABLE>

          The Corporation analyzes the capitalized mortgage servicing rights
     for impairment on a quarterly basis using a discounted cash flow analysis.
     Impairment losses are determined by stratifying the population of
     mortgage servicing rights based upon the following risk characteristics
     of the underlying loans:  loan type and term.  A valuation allowance
     is recorded if the unamortized mortgage servicing rights exceed their
     fair value.  At March 31, 1996, there was a $39,000 valuation allowance.

     10.  Off-Balance Sheet Derivative Financial Instruments

     Trading Instruments

          The Corporation maintains active trading positions in a variety of
     financial derivatives including foreign exchange and interest rate futures,
     interest rate swaps, interest rate caps and floors, forward rate
     agreements, and interest rate and foreign exchange options.  Many of these
     positions are the result of activity generated by corporate
     customers.  The balance of the positions represent strategic
     trading decisions of the Corporation's derivative and foreign
     exchange traders.  The managers and traders involved in financial
     derivatives have the technical expertise to trade these products.
     The active involvement of the Corporation's traders in these
     markets allows the Corporation to offer competitive pricing to
     customers and the expertise necessary to advise the Corporation's
     asset/ liability managers on the proper timing and execution of
     hedging strategies for the Corporation's balance sheet.

          All trading activity is conducted within the risk limits approved
     by the Corporation's Board of Directors.  Trading systems are in place
     which measure risks and profitability associated with derivative trading
     positions as market movements occur.  An independent risk control unit
     monitors these risks.  The results are reported daily and reviewed by the
     Corporation's Asset/Liability Committee and the Executive Committee of the
     Board of Directors on a monthly basis.

     <TABLE>
          The following table presents the notional amounts and fair values
     of the classes of trading instruments at March 31, 1996 and 1995 as well

     Risk Management Instruments

          Derivative financial instruments are an integral part of the
     Corporation's risk management process.  Derivatives allow the
     Corporation to modify the repricing or maturity characteristics of
     assets and liabilities in a cost-efficient manner.  This flexibility
     helps the Corporation to achieve liquidity, capital, and interest rate
     risk objectives.

          Derivatives fluctuate in value as interest rates rise or fall, just
     as on-balance sheet assets and liabilities fluctuate in value.
     Derivatives are used to modify the characteristics of assets or liabilities
     to which they are designated as well as to provide basis risk protection.

          For example, the Corporation utilizes interest rate swaps to convert
     fixed rate assets to floating rate assets or vice versa.  When the
     Corporation uses swaps to match/fund fixed rate term loans to customers,
     the Corporation is converting the fixed rate loans to floating rate loans
     that better match the floating rate deposits received from core customers.

          Interest rate swaps also are used to convert floating rate liabilities
     to fixed rate liabilities or vice versa.  Interest rate swaps designated
     to certain liabilities are used to extend the period over which the
     Corporation's short-term deposits reprice, thus locking in fixed rates.
     This offers protection against liabilities repricing faster than assets
     during periods of rising interest rates.  Interest rate swaps sold as
     liability hedges are used to adjust fixed rate long-term deposits to
     floating rate deposits.  The Corporation receives a fixed rate on this
     type of swap that offsets the fixed rate paid on the term deposits thus
     converting the deposits to a floating rate.  By issuing long-term deposits,
     the Corporation increases its overall liquidity.  Customer demand for
     long-term deposits is primarily fixed rate.  Interest rate swaps allow the
     Corporation to swap fixed rate liabilities for floating rate liabilities
     when appropriate for interest rate sensitivity purposes.

          The Corporation also utilizes interest rate swaps to extend the
     period over which floating rate assets (e.g. prime rate loans) reprice
     thus locking in a fixed rate.  This strategy is used to reduce the asset
     sensitivity of the balance sheet or to better match maturities of assets
     or liabilities.  Basis swaps are sometimes utilized to protect the interest
     rate spread between assets and liabilities that are repriced based on
     different indexes.  Prime rate loans are often funded by liabilities that
     reset off of a CD index, treasury index, or LIBOR.  Basis swaps lock in
     the spread between different indexes during the life of the swaps.  These
     swaps transfer the basis risk to third parties willing to assume the risk
     and allow the Corporation to lock in interest rate spreads between certain
     assets and liabilities.

     Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

          Net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis for the
     quarter ended March 31, 1996 of $101.2 million increased $1.2 million
     (1.2%) when compared to net interest income of $100.0 million for the
     quarter ended March 31, 1995.  Net interest income benefited from the
     following:  a $998.4 million increase in earning assets, a more
     favorable asset mix evidenced by a $653.9 million increase in average
     loans, an increase in interest free sources of funds of $189.4 million
     and an additional interest accrual day which added $649,000 to net
     interest income.  In addition, nonrecurring income from loan prepayments
     and renegotiations improved net interest income by $934,000.  Partially
     offsetting these positive contributions to net interest income
     was a 51 basis point decline in the interest rate spread.  The net
     interest margin for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 was 4.26%
     compared to 4.74% for the quarter ended March 31, 1995.


          An analysis of fully tax equivalent net interest income, interest rate
     spreads and net interest margins for the three months ended March 31, 1996
     and 1995 is presented in Table 2.

     Provision for Credit Losses 

          The provision for credit losses totaled $4.0 million for the first
     quarter of 1996 as well as the first quarter of 1995.  Provisions for
     bankcard receivables increased $3.7 million when compared to
     provisions for the first quarter of 1995.  This increase was

          The Corporation's noninterest income for the first quarter of

     Corporate deposit service charges increased $717,000 and retail deposit
     service charges increased $643,000.  Trust fees increased $1.8 million
     (34.5%) as a result of increases in personal trust services income
     and custody fee income.  Servicing income on securitized assets
     increased $1.3 million (32.1%) due to a decrease in the amount of
     servicing income reserved for credit losses resulting from
     improved credit experience on the securitized portfolios.
     Mortgage banking income increased $1.2 million (29.6%) as a result
     of an increase in mortgage loan placement fees of $1.0 million.
     Securities losses of $604,000 were recorded in the first quarter
     of 1996 compared to $314,000 in gains in the first quarter of
     1995.  Securities sales are discussed in detail under "Changes in
     Financial Position." Total other income decreased $1.6 million
     (13.9%) primarily due to the following income which was recorded
     in the first quarter of 1995: $827,000 in nonaccrual fees and
     interest payments received on two loans which were previously paid
     off and $175,000 in income from an other real estate owned
     property.  In addition, leasing residual gains decreased $415,000
     when the first quarter of 1996 is compared to the first quarter of
     1995.

          The Corporation's noninterest expenses for the first quarter of
     1996 increased $2.9 million (3.0%) when compared to the first quarter
     of 1995.  Salaries and wages increased $2.2 million (5.4%) primarily
     due to a $760,000 increase in employee incentives and commissions and
     a $540,000 severance accrual in 1996.  Other personnel costs increased
     $3.0 million (28.5%) primarily as a result of a $2.2 million increase
     in employee retirement expenses which included $1.0 million in
     pension settlements in 1996.  In addition, payroll taxes increased
     $586,000.  Advertising and public relations expense decreased $1.1
     million (22.8%) primarily due to expenses for a bankcard
     solicitation in the first quarter of 1995.  Regulatory fees and
     insurance expense decreased $3.1 million (78.2%) due to a
     reduction in the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC")
     assessment rate.

     Changes in Financial Position


     Investment Securities

          Available-for-Sale Portfolio

          Investment securities available-for-sale decreased $11.3 million
     from December 31, 1995 to March 31, 1996.  In the first quarter of
     1996, $109.8 million in U. S. Treasury securities were sold, resulting
     in net losses of $555,000 and $241.0 million in mortgage-backed
     obligations of Federal agencies ("MBS's") were sold, resulting in
     net losses of $48,000.  Paydowns, maturities and/or calls on the
     the available-for-sale securities totaled $8.9 billion in the first
     three months of 1996.  These decreases in the portfolio were offset by
     $9.3 billion in purchases which included the following:  $8.9 billion
     U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government agency securities, $303.0 million
     in MBS's, $71.4 million in other debt securities and $1.0 million in
     in equity securities.  The fair value of the available-for-sale
     portfolio at March 31, 1996 was $2.7 million above the amortized cost
     compared to a fair value at December 31, 1995 which was $39.6 million
     above the amortized cost.  This change in the fair value resulted in
     a $22.9 million net adjustment to the unrealized gains (losses) on
     available-for-sale securities which is included as a component of
     stockholders' equity.  Table 5 provides information on the gross
     unrealized gains and losses of the available-for-sale portfolio at
     March 31, 1996.

     Loan Portfolio

          Total loans, net of unearned income increased to $6.2 billion at
     March 31, 1996 from $6.1 billion at December 31, 1995.  This $90.1
     million (1.5%) increase was due primarily to growth in commercial and
     foreign loans.

          Commercial loans increased $69.1 million (3.8%) from December 31,
     1995 to March 31, 1996, thereby contributing more than three-quarters
     of the total loan growth for the Corporation.  The majority of the
     commercial loan growth was from large corporate borrowers from the
     multi-national sector including borrowers within the Communications
     industry.

          Commercial real estate loans, which include both construction and
     commercial mortgages, were flat at $1.3 billion from December 31, 1995
     to March 31, 1996.  The commercial real estate portfolio continues to
     be well-balanced by property type and geographically centered in the
     Corporation's regional marketplace as reflected in Tables 7 and 8.

          Residential mortgages decreased $28.0 million (4.3%) since
     December 31, 1995.  The Corporation originates residential
     mortgages primarily for sale in the secondary market.  New
     originations for the Corporation's permanent portfolio are
     principally low income housing and adjustable rate products.
     Residential mortgages declined in the first quarter due to
     decreased demand for adjustable rate mortgages.

          Retail loans increased $21.2 million (1.9%) from December 31,
     1995 to March 31, 1996.  Most of the retail loan growth was within the
     installment loan product lines including real estate secured, closed-
     ended loans.

          Bankcard outstandings from December 31, 1995 to March 31, 1996
     were flat at $654.7 million.

          Leases receivable increased $6.1 million (1.8%) since December 31,
     1995.  The majority of the growth was in retail leases, which comprises
     10% of total leases receivable.  Automobile leasing by consumers remains
     a popular financing choice.

          Foreign loans increased $23.1 million (6.9%) from December 31,
     1995 to March 31, 1996.  The majority of growth has been in loans to
     customers within the shipping industry.

          The Corporation monitors exposure based on industry classifications
     and establishes exposure limits that are reviewed by the Board of
     Directors.  Significant exposures by industry classification in the
     loan portfolio are presented in Table 6.

          Nonperforming assets totaled $45.5 million at March 31, 1996,
     an increase of $695,000 when compared to nonperforming assets of
     $44.8 million at December 31, 1995.  The most significant change in
     nonperforming assets in the three months ended March 31, 1996 was
     $4.8 million in additions to nonperforming assets primarily due to
     the transfer of loans to nonaccrual status.  This increase was
     partially offset by paydowns of $3.7 million, loans reclassified to
     accrual status of $433,000 and other real estate owned sales of
     $129,000.  The most significant paydowns were on a variety of
     commercial and real estate transactions in which cash payments were
     received on nonaccrual loans.  Loans returned to accrual status were
     residential loans which met the regulatory tests for return to accrual
     status.  Information on the Corporation's impaired loans is
     included in note 4 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
     Statements.


          The following table presents nonperforming assets and accruing
     loans which are 90 days past due as to principal or interest on the
     dates indicated.

     Deposits

          Total deposits decreased $72.4 million from December 31, 1995 to
     March 31, 1996.  Core deposits totaled $6.3 billion at March 31, 1996
     and at December 31, 1995.  Interest bearing demand deposits decreased
     $403.9 million offset by a $443.0 million increase in money market
     deposits.  During the first quarter of 1996 the Corporation
     introduced a new sweep product which resulted in a decrease in
     interest bearing demand deposits with an offsetting increase in
     money market deposits.  This shift in deposits resulted in a
     reduction in the level of required reserves that the Corporation
     must maintain in cash and noninterest earning balances with the
     Federal Reserve Bank.  Purchased deposits, which include large
     denomination time and foreign time deposits, decreased $26.2
     million.

          Total deposits increased $344.2 million from March 31, 1995 to
     March 31, 1996.  Core deposits increased $365.5 million primarily due
     to increases in money market deposits of $334.4 million, noninterest
     bearing demand deposits of $243.9 million and other consumer time
     deposits of $173.4 million.  As noted above, the increase in money
     market deposits was offset by a decline in interest bearing demand
     deposits of $346.7 million which was primarily due to the
     introduction of a new sweep product.  Purchased deposits decreased
     $21.3 million.

     Pending Transactions

          On January 24, 1996, the Corporation announced that it had
     entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 1st Washington
     Bancorp, Inc. ("1st Washington"), a savings and loan holding
     company headquartered in Herndon, Virginia, whose principal
     subsidiary is Washington Federal Savings Bank.  Under the terms of
     the agreement the Corporation will pay in cash a purchase price of
     $81.9 million or $8.125 per share.  Consummation of the
     transaction is subject to 1st Washington shareholder approval and
     regulatory approvals.  The transaction is expected to be completed
     in 1996.  At March 31, 1996, 1st Washington had total assets of
     $795 million and total deposits of $441 million and conducted
     its business from offices in the District of Columbia and
     surrounding portions of northern Virginia and Maryland.

          The Corporation has decided to exit the mortgage servicing
     business.  Of its $1.6 billion servicing portfolio, the
     Corporation has entered into agreements to sell $708 million and
     has solicited bids to sell an additional $500 million.
     Anticipated net gains on the sale of servicing are expected to
     exceed $9.0 million, with $3.0 million attributable to
     agreements already entered into.  The sales are subject to
     regulatory approvals and are expected to settle during the second
     and third quarter of 1996.

          The Corporation has entered into a subservicing agreement to
     service the remainder of its mortgage servicing portfolio and to
     provide interim servicing for future loan originations until the
     originated mortgage servicing is sold.
