Item 1. Security and Issuer.

       No change.
                 
Item 2. Identity and Background.

            (a)-(c), (f)  This Statement is filed by American Express
Company ("American Express") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, American
Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc. ("TRS"), each of which is a
New York corporation.  The principal business of American Express is
providing travel related services, investors diversified financial services
and international banking services throughout the world.  The principal
business of TRS is providing travel related services.  The address of the
principal business and principal office for both American Express and TRS
is American Express Tower, World Financial Center, New York, New York
10285.

       The name, residence or business address, present principal
occupation or employment, and the name, principal business and address of
any corporation or other organization in which such employment is
conducted, and citizenship, of each executive officer and director of
American Express and TRS are set forth in Exhibits 1 and 2, respectively,
and are incorporated herein by reference.

            (d), (e)  Neither American Express, TRS, nor, to the best of
their knowledge, any of the current directors or executive officers of
American Express or TRS, have during the last five years, (i) been
convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors) or (ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such
proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining
future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to,
Federal or State securities laws or finding any violation with respect to
such laws.  

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

       Pursuant to an Agreement, dated May 27, 1994, between American
Express and TRS, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4 hereto and incorporated
by reference herein, American Express agreed to transfer certain assets to TRS. 
These assets included 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock, warrants to
purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Warrants") and the
rights of American Express under a Registration Rights Agreement, dated May
21, 1993, between Shearson Lehman Brothers Inc. and Mellon Bank
Corporation.  TRS will have the benefits of, and be bound by the
restrictions described in, Exhibits 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 listed in Item 7 to the
Schedule 13D dated June 30, 1993, with respect to the Common Stock.  In
exchange for this transfer, TRS issued to American Express 5,180 shares of
its 7% Redeemable Preferred Shares, Series A.

       At May 27, 1994, certain indirect subsidiaries of American Express
(the "Managing Subsidiaries") held 18,878 shares of Common Stock.  American
Express and TRS disclaim beneficial ownership of the shares held by the
Managing Subsidiaries.  The Managing Subsidiaries purchased the shares of
Common Stock held by them in the ordinary course of managing investment
portfolios or trading on behalf of third parties and obtained the funds for
such purchases from these third parties. 








                                    4
<PAGE>
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

       All the shares of Common Stock that are held directly by TRS have
been acquired for investment purposes.  All shares of Common Stock referred
to in this statement that are held by the Managing Subsidiaries were acquired
by the Managing Subsidiaries for investment purposes on behalf of
third parties in the ordinary course of managing investment portfolios or
trading for these third parties.  Subject to the restrictions set forth in
Item 3 above, TRS, the Managing Subsidiaries, as well as other subsidiaries
of TRS may, from time to time, sell some or all of the shares of Common
Stock in the open market, in private transactions or underwritten
offerings, or hold shares of Common Stock as part of their own investment
portfolio or in accounts which are managed on behalf of third parties.  TRS
and the Managing Subsidiaries intend to review their investments in the
Issuer periodically and depending on their assessment of relevant factors
(including general economic and market conditions, matters relating to the
Issuer's business prospects and financial condition and the market for its
securities, and matters relating to TRS) may determine from time to time to
acquire additional securities of the Issuer or to dispose of any or all of
the shares of Common Stock or Warrants.  

       Except as described above, neither American Express, TRS, nor, to
the best of their knowledge, any of their subsidiaries, have any present
plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the
transactions or events described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4
of Schedule 13D.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

            (a)  As of May 27, 1994, American Express through TRS
beneficially owned 5,500,000 shares of Common Stock, including 3,000,000
shares of Common Stock subject to the Warrants, representing in the
aggregate approximately 8.64% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. 
In addition, the Managing Subsidiaries held 18,878 shares of Common Stock,
representing in the aggregate approximately 0.03% of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock. 

       On May 31, 1994, American Express completed a spinoff of Lehman
Brothers Holdings Inc. ("LBHI") through a special dividend of LBHI common
stock.  As of May 31, 1994, the Managing Subsidiaries no longer included
subsidiaries of LBHI and, accordingly, as of such date, the amount of
Common Stock held by the Managing Subsidiaries was reduced to 2,064 shares
of Common Stock.  

       As of May 27, 1994, Richard M. Furlaud, a Director of American
Express, beneficially owned 2,000 shares of Common Stock and as of 
June 17, 1994, he beneficially owned 2,500 shares of Common Stock.  Except 
for  Mr. Furlaud, as of May 27, 1994, and as of June 17, 1994, to the best 
knowledge of American Express and TRS, none of the executive officers or 
directors of American Express or TRS, respectively, beneficially owned 
shares of Common Stock.

            (b)  As of May 27, 1994, TRS had the sole power to vote or
direct the vote, and to dispose or direct the disposition, of 5,500,000
shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by it, subject to the agreements
contained in Exhibits 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 listed in Item 7 of the Schedule 13D
dated June 30, 1993.  The Managing Subsidiaries have sole power to vote or
direct the vote of 2,466 shares of Common Stock.  Voting and dispositive
power is shared between the Managing Subsidiaries and their customers with
respect to 13,200 and 18,878 shares of Common Stock, respectively, in the
ordinary course of managing investment portfolios on behalf of such
customers.  



                                    5
<PAGE>
            (c)  Except as described in Item 3 or as set forth in Exhibit
3 hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference, neither American
Express, TRS, nor, to the best of their knowledge, the Managing
Subsidiaries or any director or executive officer of American Express or
TRS, has effected any transaction in the shares of Common Stock during the
past 60 days.

            (d)  Neither American Express, TRS, nor, to the best of their
knowledge, any of their executive officers or directors, knows of any other
persons who have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of
dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Common
Stock beneficially owned by American Express.

            (e)  Not applicable.
   
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with
Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

       Except as described in Item 3 (including the exhibits to the
Schedule 13D dated June 30, 1993, mentioned therein) and Item 5(b) above,
none of American Express, TRS or, to the best of their knowledge, any of
the executive officers or directors of American Express or TRS, have any
contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or
otherwise) with each other or with any other person with respect to any
securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to the transfer or
voting of any of the shares of the Common Stock, finder's fees, joint
ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of
profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of
proxies.

                 directors of American Express Company.
