         fer Statement on Schedule 14D-1 filed with the Securities and

         tion, a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), and (ii) unless and
         until validly redeemed by the Board of Directors of the Com-
         pany, the Series A Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock
         Purchase Rights (the "Rights") associated therewith, upon the

         Item 10.  Additional Information

                   Parent hereby amends the terms of the CVP Shares (as
         set forth in Annex I to the Second Supplement) as follows:

                        "Valuation Period" means the 30 consecutive
              trading day period immediately preceding (but not includ-
              ing) the Redemption Date.

                        "Current Market Value" means the volume-weighted
              average of the prices per share of Hilton Common Stock for
              all trades reported on the NYSE (or such other exchange on
              which shares of Hilton Common Stock are then listed) of
              shares of Hilton Common Stock during the Valuation Period.

                        "Liquidation Preference" means the lesser of (i)
              the amount, if any, by which the Target Price exceeds the
              Current Market Value (determined as if the Valuation Pe-
              riod were the 30 consecutive trading day period im-
              mediately preceding (but not including) the date of liqui-
              dation), and (ii) the Maximum Redemption Amount, subject
              to a minimum liquidation preference of $1 per share.

                        With respect to the Form of Payment, in the case
              of redemptions of the CVP Shares payable in cash or Hilton
              Common Stock, the Issuer shall be required to announce no<PAGE>







              later than the last business day preceding the start of
              the Valuation Period whether such redemption amounts shall
              be paid in cash or Hilton Common Stock, or a combination
              thereof (specifying the percentages of each to be used).

                                            Exhibit (a)(45)








                       VALUATION OF A COMBINED ITT/STARWOOD


              Attached is an earnings-based valuation analysis of a com-
         bined ITT/Starwood, derived from information disclosed by Star-
         wood and ITT and from previously-issued analysts' reports on
         estimated ITT and Starwood 1998 results.  In fact, we believe
         certain of this information overstates the likely earnings of
         the combined entity for 1998 and thus inflates the valuation.
         For example:

                 - We have credited the combined entity with $90 million
                   of tax savings related to "inter-company debt" of
                   Starwood Corporation to Starwood Lodging Trust (the
                   pro forma financials in the Starwood proxy imply that
                   this debt related to the ITT assets will be approxi-
                   mately $3.0 billion).  However, if Congress deter-
                   mines that Starwood's grandfathered "paired-share
                   REIT" status should not apply to the expanded ITT
                   operations, this tax savings would not be realized.
                   We also have not included any tax liabilities that
                   may result from Starwood's proposed $1.5 billion div-
                   idend.

                 - We have credited the combined entity with $75 million
                   of savings due to "synergies" in 1998 even though we
                   think these savings are questionable (and note that
                   Starwood has not included such savings in its pro
                   forma financials as filed with the SEC).

                 - For purposes of this analysis, we have accepted Star-
                   wood's FFO projections, which we believe are aggres-
                   sive.

              Nevertheless, even on this basis the analysis shows 1998
         earnings per share of only $1.43.  Using the earnings multiple
         of Marriott International, this implies an ITT/Starwood stock
         value of $32.27.<PAGE>
