  Included in interest expense in the above computation is interest expense
  related to the Company's international banking operations and Travel
  Related Services' consumer lending activities, which is netted against
  interest and dividends in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

  For purposes of the "earnings" computation, other adjustments include
  adding the amortization of capitalized interest, the net loss of
  affiliates accounted for at equity whose debt is not guaranteed by the
  Company, the minority interest in the earnings of majority-owned
  subsidiaries with fixed charges, and the interest component of rental
  expense and subtracting undistributed net income of affiliates accounted
  for at equity.

  For purposes of the "fixed charges" computation, other adjustments include
  capitalized interest costs and the interest component of rental expense.

  On May 31, 1994, the Company completed the spin-off of Lehman Brothers
  through a dividend to American Express common shareholders.  Accordingly,
  Lehman Brothers' results are reported as a discontinued operation and are
  excluded from the above computation for all periods presented.  In March
  1993, the Company reduced its ownership in First Data Corporation to
  approximately 22 percent through a public offering.  As a result, beginning
  in 1993 FDC is reported as an equity investment in the above computation.
