                                       Report of Independent Auditors



Administrative Board
American General Employees' Thrift and Incentive Plan


We  have audited  the  accompanying statements  of  net assets  available  for
benefits of the  American General  Employees' Thrift and  Incentive Plan  (the
Plan) as  of December 31, 1993 and 1992 and  the related statements of changes
in  net  assets available  for  benefits  for the  years  then  ended.   These
financial statements are  the responsibility  of the Plan's  management.   Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted auditing
standards.   Those standards  require that  we plan and  perform the  audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An  audit
also  includes  assessing  the  accounting  principles  used  and  significant
estimates  made by  management, as  well as  evaluating the  overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In  our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material  respects, the net assets  available for benefits of  the Plan at
December 31,  1993 and  1992,  and the  changes in  net  assets available  for
benefits  for  the years  then ended,  in  conformity with  generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our  audits were made for  the purpose of forming  an opinion on the financial
statements  taken  as a  whole.   The  accompanying supplemental  schedules of
assets held for investment as of December 31, 1993 and reportable transactions
for  the year  then ended  are presented  for purposes  of complying  with the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee  Retirement Income Security Act  of 1974, and are  not a required
part  of the  financial statements.    The specific  fund  information in  the
statement of net assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in
net  assets available  for benefits  is presented  for purposes  of additional
analysis rather  than to present  the net  assets available  for benefits  and
changes in net assets available  for benefits of each fund.   The supplemental
schedules  and specific fund information  have been subjected  to the auditing
procedures applied in  our audit of the 1993 financial  statements and, in our
opinion, are  fairly stated in all  material respects in relation  to the 1993
financial statements taken as a whole.

                                                                 ERNST & YOUNG

AMERICAN GENERAL EMPLOYEES' THRIFT AND INCENTIVE PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE A--SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The American General Employees' Thrift and Incentive Plan (the Plan) financial
statements  are  prepared in  conformity  with  generally accepted  accounting
principles.

Investments in  American General  Corporation (American General)  common stock
are based  on published market prices.   Fair values of  other investments not
having an  established  market are  reported  as follows:    1) investment  in
American  General  Life  Insurance  Company (American  General  Life)  deposit
administration  group annuity  contract  at contract  value, which  represents
contributions under the  contract, plus  interest at the  contract rate,  less
funds  used to pay  benefits; 2)  investments in  the American  General Series
Portfolio Company (AGSPC) Timed Opportunity and Stock Index Funds at net asset
value;  and 3) short-term investments  at cost which  approximates fair value.
AGSPC  is  an  open-end  management  investment  company  (mutual  fund) whose
investment  adviser is  The Variable  Annuity Life Insurance  Company (VALIC).
VALIC  and American  General Life  are wholly-owned  subsidiaries of  American
General.

Dividends are  recorded as income on ex-dividend dates, and interest income is
recorded using  the accrual  method of  accounting.   Purchases and sales  are
recorded on  a trade-date  basis.  The  cost of  securities sold  on the  open
market is determined using the average cost method.

Contributions are recorded  as income on the date that  they become payable to
the Plan.

Interfund  transfers  are  recorded   at  the  market  value  of   the  amount
transferred.

Benefits  paid  to participants  and  related  forfeitures are  recorded  upon
distribution at the cost of the assets distributed or forfeited.

Due to a clarification in the application of an accounting principle, benefits
payable to  participants are  no  longer accrued  as liabilities  in the  1993
financial statements.


NOTE B--DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The following description of the Plan provides only general information.   The

AMERICAN GENERAL EMPLOYEES' THRIFT AND INCENTIVE PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--Continued


NOTE B--DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN--Continued

General

The Plan, which  is subject to certain  provisions of the  Employee Retirement
Income Security  Act of 1974,  as amended  (ERISA), is a  defined contribution
plan offered to  eligible employees  of American  General and  certain of  its
subsidiaries (the  Companies).  Salaried employees are eligible to participate
in the Plan upon completion  of one year of service or upon  attainment of age
thirty-five.   Non-salaried employees who have completed one thousand hours of
service in one  service year and have attained age  twenty-one are eligible to
participate in  the Plan.  The  Plan provides for participant  elective salary
deferrals (participant pretax contributions) in accordance with Section 401(k)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (IRC).

The cost of administering the Plan is paid by the Companies.

Investments are held in a bank-administered master trust fund.

Investment Options

The Plan was amended effective June 27, 1992 to allow for investment in shares
of the AGSPC  Stock Index Fund (Equity Index  Fund).  In addition,  the Plan's
investment  in units of  VALIC Separate Account A,  Division 5, which invested
solely  in shares  of the AGSPC  Timed Opportunity  Fund, was  converted to an
investment in shares  of the  AGSPC Timed Opportunity  Fund (Asset  Allocation
Fund) in 1992.

Participants may elect  to have their  contributions invested  in one of  four
funds or a  combination of  two funds.   The funds  invest in:   1) shares  of
American  General common stock (Stock Fund); 2) a deposit administration group
annuity  contract issued  by American General  Life (Cash Fund);  3) the Asset
Allocation Fund; or 4)  the Equity Index Fund.   The Companies'  contributions
are invested solely in the Stock Fund.  

Amounts which  have not yet been used to purchase investments in either common
stock, the deposit administration contract, the Timed Opportunity Fund, or the
Stock Index  Fund are temporarily  invested in money-market  fund investments.
Income  from  these investments  is allocated  to  Plan participants  based on
current contributions.

Contributions

Employees who elect to participate may  contribute, on a pretax basis, a basic
amount  ranging from one to  six percent of base  pay and an additional amount
ranging  from one  to ten  percent of  base pay,  subject to  the contribution
limitations  discussed below.  The Companies contribute an amount ranging from
50 percent to 100  percent of the employees' basic  contribution as determined
annually by the  Personnel Committee of the  American General Board  of Direc-
tors.

AMERICAN GENERAL EMPLOYEES' THRIFT AND INCENTIVE PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--Continued


NOTE B--DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN--Continued

Effective June 27, 1992,  participants may change their contribution  rate and
investment  election for future contributions, as well as transfer all or part
of their employee account balances among  funds, no more than once each month.
All changes  except transfers are effective on the  first day of the first pay
period of each month.  Transfers are effective on the last business day of the
month the  request is received.  Prior to June 27, 1992, changes and transfers
were allowed less frequently.

Contribution Limitations

For 1993, the total amount of participant pretax  contributions was limited to
$8,994.  For 1994, these contributions will be limited to $9,240.  Additional-
ly,  the total amount of annual participant and company contributions (includ-
ing  forfeitures) must not exceed the lesser  of 25 percent of compensation or
$30,000.  During  1993, the  total amount of  base pay that  could be used  in
determining  contributions under  the  Plan was  $235,840.   This  amount  was
decreased to $150,000 for 1994. 

ERISA and  the IRC provide that plans, such as the American General Employees'
Thrift  and Incentive Plan, cannot discriminate in favor of highly compensated
individuals.   To comply with these laws, certain highly compensated individu-
als will receive refunds of contributions in excess of the IRC Sections 401(k)
and (m) limits  and all earnings  attributable to such contributions.   Highly
compensated individuals  are not allowed  to make additional  contributions if
such  contributions will  adversely affect  the Plan's  nondiscrimination test
under Sections 401(k) and (m).

Amounts in excess of the  limits discussed above are designated on  the State-
ment of  Net  Assets as  "Payables  - Excess  contribution  refunds" and  were
refunded  within 2-1/2  months of  the Plan's  year end.   "Payables  - Excess
contribution forfeitures" represent the  nonvested excess contributions of the
Companies and are available to reduce future company contributions.

Participant Accounts

Each  participant's account is credited with  the participant's and Companies'
contributions  and  an  allocation of  Plan  earnings.    Allocations of  Plan
earnings  are based  on  participants' account  balances.   A  participant  is
entitled to the benefit that can be provided from the participant's account.

Vesting

Participants are immediately  vested in their contributions  plus the earnings
thereon.   Participants obtain a  vested interest in  the Companies' contribu-
tions and the earnings  thereon at the rate of  two percent per month  of plan
participation  after  one year  of service.    In addition,  participants will
become 100 percent vested  in the Companies' contributions upon  their retire-
ment, attainment of age 65, total disability, or death.

NOTE B--DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN--Continued

Payment of Benefits

Upon termination of service, and if  consented to by the participant  (consent
is only required if the total value, both vested and nonvested, of the account
exceeds  $3,500  and the  participant  is under  age 65),  a  participant will
receive a distribution  equal to the  vested value of his  or her account.   A
distribution must be made  after a participant reaches age  70-1/2, regardless
of whether service has been terminated.

Forfeitures

Participants terminating employment on or after February 1, 1989 forfeit their
nonvested  interest in company contributions on the earlier of (1) the distri-
bution of  the entire  nonforfeitable portion  of their  account  or (2)  upon
incurring a period  of severance equal to five consecutive  one-year breaks in
service.  For participants  who terminated prior to February 1,  1989, amounts
not vested upon  termination are  forfeited after  incurring five  consecutive
one-year  breaks in  service.   Forfeitures   are  available to  reduce future
company contributions.  Participants  who terminate and are reemployed  with a
participating  company before  incurring five  consecutive one-year  breaks in
service  are  entitled to  their nonvested  or  forfeited amounts,  subject to
certain provisions as stated in the Plan.

Plan Members

At December 31,  1993, 6,534  participants were actively  contributing to  the
Plan.

AMERICAN GENERAL EMPLOYEES' THRIFT AND INCENTIVE PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--Continued


NOTE D--FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

On September 6,  1991, the Internal  Revenue Service (IRS) issued  a favorable
determination  that the Plan, as  restated and amended  effective November 14,
1990,  is qualified  under Section  401(a) of  the IRC and,  therefore, exempt
under Section 501(a) from federal income taxes.  American General will request
a favorable determination that the Plan, as subsequently restated and amended,
continues to be qualified.  Management believes a favorable determination will
be received.

At December 31, 1993,  a difference of $367,010  exists between the  financial
information  contained herein and  the financial information  disclosed in the
Form 5500  filing  due to  the  accounting treatment  of benefits  payable  to
participants in the 1993 audited financial statements (see Note A).


NOTE E--PLAN TERMINATION

Although they  have not expressed any intent to  do so, the Companies have the
right under  the Plan to  discontinue their contributions  at any time  and to
withdraw from the  Plan subject to the  provisions of ERISA.  In  the event of
Plan  termination,  participants will  become  100  percent  vested  in  their
accounts. 


NOTE F--STOCK SPLIT

On February 4, 1993, American General's Board of Directors declared a two-for-
one stock split effected in the  form of a 100 percent common stock  dividend,
paid March 1, 1993, to shareholders of record on February 16, 1993.  The stock
distribution  was reflected in the  December 31, 1992  financial statements of
the Plan.
