Item 5. Other Events
Today, American Airlines, Inc. ("American"), the principal
subsidiary of AMR Corporation, gave notice that it is
drawing $1.0 billion under its existing $1.0 billion credit
facility agreement which expires in 2001.
American has also negotiated an additional $1.0 billion
credit facility agreement underwritten by Morgan Guaranty
Trust Company of New York, The Chase Manhattan Bank, Citibank,
N.A., and Credit Suisse First Boston, which will expire
December 31, 1997. There are no borrowings outstanding under
the new agreement at this time. Any borrowings under the
new agreement will be secured by aircraft owned by American.
To the extent that the value of such aircraft exceeds any
claims due under the new agreement, the excess value will
secure borrowings under American's existing $1.0 billion
credit facility agreement.
