                                    IMPORTANT

     HIGH RIVER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware limited partnership (the
"Purchaser"), is offering to purchase up to 6,189 of the outstanding units of
limited partnership interest ("Units") in McNEIL PACIFIC INVESTORS FUND 1972, a
California limited partnership (the "Partnership"), at a purchase price of
$110.00 per Unit (the "Purchase Price"), net to the seller in cash, without
interest, less the amount of distributions per Unit, if any, made by the
Partnership from the date of the Offer to Purchase, as it may be supplemented or
amended from time to time (the "Offer to Purchase"), until the Expiration Date
(as defined below), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in
the Offer to Purchase and in the related Assignment of Partnership Interest,
including the Instructions thereto, as it may be supplemented or amended from
time to time (the "Assignment of Partnership Interest" which, collectively with
the Offer to Purchase, constitute the "Offer").  Because Carl C. Icahn controls
the Purchaser, he may be deemed to be a "co-bidder" with the Purchaser.

   

     Any holder of any Units (each a "Limited Partner") desiring to tender Units
should complete and sign the Assignment of Partnership Interest or a facsimile
thereof in accordance with the Instructions in the Assignment of Partnership
Interest and mail or deliver the signed Assignment of Partnership Interest and
the associated certificates representing his interest in the Units tendered and
the Limited Partner's copy of the Restated Certificate and Agreement of Limited
Partnership executed by the Partnership's general

     


<PAGE>


   

partner and evidencing the Limited Partner's interest in the Units
(collectively, the "Certificates") to the Depositary (as defined below). A
Limited Partner may tender any or all of the Units owned by that Limited
Partner, provided, however, in order for a tender to be valid, a minimum of 5
Units (the "Minimum Units Requirements") must be sold pursuant to the Offer as
required under the Partnership's partnership agreement (the "Partnership
Agreement"). See Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase.

     

     Limited Partners are urged to consider the following factors:

     o    The Purchaser is making the Offer with a view to making a profit.
          Accordingly, there is a conflict between the desire of the Purchaser
          to purchase Units at a low price and the desire of the Limited
          Partners to sell their Units at a high price.

   
     o    The net asset value per Unit of approximately $146.00 (exclusive of
          cash and cash equivalents equal to approximately $70.00 per Unit as of
          March 31, 1995) estimated by the Purchaser is greater than the
          Purchase Price. See "Introduction" and Section 13 of the Offer to
          Purchase.

     o    If the Purchaser is successful in acquiring a substantial number of
          Units pursuant to the Offer, the Purchaser, which is controlled by
          Carl C. Icahn, will have the right to vote those Units and may thereby
          be in a position to influence voting decisions with respect to the
          Partnership, including, without limitation, decisions concerning
          amendments to the Partnership Agreement and removal and replacement of
          the Partnership's general partner. This means that (i) those who
          remain Limited Partners after the expiration of the Offer could be
          prevented from taking action they desire but that the Purchaser
          opposes and (ii) the Purchaser may be able to take action desired by
          the Purchaser but opposed by such remaining Limited Partners.
          
    

     o    The Purchaser may seek to remove the Partnership's general partner
          but, while reserving such right, the Purchaser has no present
          intention of doing so.  Such removal may require the Partnership to
          pay a fee to the Partnership's general partner and/or its affiliates
          and may result in acceleration of certain of the




<PAGE>


          Partnership's debt obligations, which may have an adverse effect on
          the Partnership.  See "Introduction" of the Offer to Purchase.

     Questions and requests for assistance or for additional copies of the Offer
to Purchase and the Assignment of Partnership Interest may be directed to the
Information Agent (as defined below) at the address and telephone number set
forth herein and on the back cover of the Offer to Purchase.  No soliciting
dealer fees or other payments to brokers for tenders are being paid by the
Purchaser.

     THIS TRANSACTION HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE "COMMISSION") NOR HAS THE COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE
FAIRNESS OR MERITS OF SUCH TRANSACTION NOR UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE
INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT.  ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS

TO THE LIMITED PARTNERS OF
MCNEIL PACIFIC INVESTORS FUND 1972
    



                                  INTRODUCTION

     High River Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the
"Purchaser"), hereby offers to purchase up to 6,189 Units at a purchase price of
$110.00 per Unit (the "Purchase Price"), net to the seller in cash, without
interest, less the amount of distributions per Unit, if any, made by the
Partnership from the date of the Offer until the Expiration Date, upon the terms
and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer.  Limited Partners who
tender their Units in response to the Offer will not be obligated to pay any
commissions or partnership transfer fees.  The Purchaser has retained D.F. King
& Co., Inc. to act as Information Agent (the "Information Agent") and IBJ
Schroder Bank & Trust Company to act as Depositary (the "Depositary") in
connection with the Offer.  The Purchaser will pay all charges and expenses in
connection with the services of the Information Agent and the Depositary.  The
Offer is not conditioned on any minimum number of Units being tendered.  Subject
to the Minimum Units Requirements, a Limited Partner may tender any or all of
the Units owned by that Limited Partner.  Notwithstanding any provision
contained in the Offer to Purchase or any related document, under no
circumstances will the Purchaser be required to accept any Units the transfer of
which to the Purchaser would be prohibited by the Partnership Agreement or any
regulation or procedure adopted thereunder.

   
     SOME FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED BY LIMITED PARTNERS.  In considering the
Offer, Limited Partners may wish to consider the following:
    

     o    The Purchaser is making the Offer with a view to making a profit.
          Accordingly, there is a conflict between the desire of the Purchaser
          to purchase Units at a low price and the desire of the Limited
          Partners to sell their Units at a high price.

     o    If the Purchaser is successful in acquiring a substantial number of
          Units pursuant to the Offer, the Purchaser, which is controlled by Mr.
          Icahn, will have the right to vote those Units and may thereby be in a
          position to influence voting decisions with respect to the
          Partnership, including, without limitation, decisions concerning
          amendments to the Partnership Agreement and removal and replacement of
          the Partnership's general partner.  This means that (i) those who
          remain Limited Partners after the expiration of the Offer could be
          prevented from taking action they desire but that the Purchaser
          opposes and (ii) the Purchaser may be able to




<PAGE>


          take action desired by the Purchaser which may be opposed by, and
          which may not be in the best interests of, such remaining Limited
          Partners.

   
     o    To the extent that a portion of the losses recognized and allocated to
          the Limited Partners for tax purposes by the Partnership in prior
          years was subject to restrictions on deductions of losses from passive
          activities, such losses were generally "suspended" and carried over by
          the Limited Partners.  Such "suspended" losses may, depending on a
          Limited Partner's particular circumstances, be available to offset all
          or a portion of any gain recognized by such Limited Partner on the
          sale of Units.  In the event that a Limited Partner sells all his
          Units, he would generally be able to deduct any loss on the sale along
          with the balance of any "suspended" passive activity losses from prior
          years.  See Section 6 of the Offer to Purchase.  Because the Offer is
          being made for less than all of the outstanding Units, there can be no
          assurance that a Limited Partner which tenders all of its Units will
          in fact sell all of its Units pursuant to the Offer.

     o    Although the Purchaser is making the Offer for investment purposes, it
          may, depending on the number of Units it acquires pursuant to the
          Offer, be in a position to influence control of the business of the
          Partnership.  If the Purchaser acquires a substantial number of the
          outstanding Units, the Purchaser will be in a position to influence
          voting decisions with respect to the Partnership.  The Purchaser may
          seek to remove the general partner of the Partnership but, while
          reserving such right, the Purchaser has no present intention of doing
          so. Such removal may require the Partnership to pay a fee to the
          Partnership's general partner and/or its affiliates and may result in
          acceleration of certain of the Partnership's debt obligations, which
          may have an adverse effect on the Partnership.

     o    Based solely on financial and other information relating to the
          Partnership that is publicly available in its Form 10-K filed with the
          Commission, the Purchaser, solely for consideration with other
          information in connection with preparing a bid, estimated the net
          asset value per Unit to be approximately $146.00 (exclusive of cash
          and cash equivalents equal to approximately $70.00 per Unit as of
          March 31, 1995) (the "Purchaser NAV"). THE PURCHASER HAS NOT HAD THE
          OPPORTUNITY TO CONDUCT AND HAS NOT CONDUCTED ANY APPRAISAL OR
          INSPECTION OF THE PARTNERSHIP'S PROPERTIES AND HAS NO INDEPENDENT
          BASIS WHATSOEVER FOR DETERMINING THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE
          PARTNERSHIP'S PUBLICLY FILED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
    


                                       -2-

          OR FOR DETERMINING TO WHAT EXTENT, IF ANY, THE PURCHASER NAV
          REPRESENTS THE TRUE NET ASSET VALUE OF EACH UNIT.

     Limited Partners should consult with their respective advisors about the
financial, tax, legal and other implications of accepting the Offer. Limited
Partners are urged to read the Offer to Purchase and the related materials
carefully and in their entirety before deciding whether to tender their Units.

   
     THE PURCHASER.  The Purchaser is a Delaware limited partnership, the
general partner of which is Riverdale Investors Corp., Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Riverdale"), and the limited partner of which is Highcrest
Investors Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Highcrest").  Riverdale is owned
directly by Mr. Icahn and Highcrest is owned indirectly by Mr. Icahn.  See
Section 11 of the Offer to Purchase for a description of the Purchaser's
business.

     REASONS FOR THE OFFER.  Although the Purchaser is making the Offer for
investment purposes and with a view to making a profit, it may, depending on the
number of Units it acquires pursuant to the Offer, be in a position to influence
control of the business of the Partnership.  See Section 8 of the Offer to
Purchase.

     CONDITIONS.  The Offer is not conditioned on any minimum number of Units
being tendered. Certain other conditions, however, do apply. See Section 14 of
the Offer to Purchase.

     OUTSTANDING UNITS.  According to publicly available information, there are
13,752.5 Units issued and outstanding, which, on March 31, 1995, were held by
1,384 Limited Partners.  The Purchaser does not beneficially own any Units.  See
Section 11 of the Offer to Purchase.

     ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.  The Partnership is subject to the information and
reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
("Exchange Act"), and in accordance therewith is required to file reports and
other information with the Commission relating to its business, financial
condition and other matters. Such reports and other information may be inspected

     ALL OF THE INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTNERSHIP CONTAINED IN THE
OFFER TO PURCHASE HAS BEEN DERIVED FROM DOCUMENTS AND REPORTS PUBLICLY FILED BY
THE PARTNERSHIP. ALTHOUGH THE PURCHASER HAS NO INFORMATION THAT ANY STATEMENTS
CONTAINED HEREIN BASED UPON SUCH DOCUMENTS AND REPORTS ARE UNTRUE, THE PURCHASER
CANNOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE INFORMATION
CONCERNING THE PARTNERSHIP CONTAINED IN SUCH DOCUMENTS AND REPORTS OR FOR ANY
FAILURE BY THE PARTNERSHIP TO DISCLOSE EVENTS WHICH MAY HAVE OCCURRED AND MAY
AFFECT THE SIGNIFICANCE OR ACCURACY OF ANY SUCH INFORMATION BUT WHICH ARE
UNKNOWN TO THE PURCHASER.


                                    THE OFFER

     SECTION 1.  TERMS OF THE OFFER; EXPIRATION DATE; PRORATION.

   
     Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, the Purchaser
will accept (and thereby purchase) up to 6,189 Units that are validly tendered
on or prior to the Expiration Date and not withdrawn in accordance with the
procedures set forth in Section 4 of the Offer to Purchase.  For purposes of the
Offer, the term "Expiration Date" shall mean 12:00 midnight, New York City time,
on August 31, 1995, unless the Purchaser in its sole discretion shall have
extended the period of time for which the Offer is open, in which event the term
"Expiration Date" shall mean the latest time and date on which the Offer, as
extended by the Purchaser, shall expire.  See Section 5 of the Offer to Purchase
for a description of the Purchaser's right to extend the period of time during
which the Offer is open and to amend or terminate the Offer.
    

     If, prior to the Expiration Date, the Purchaser increases the consideration
offered to Limited Partners pursuant to the Offer, the increased consideration
will be paid for all Units accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer, whether
or not the Units were tendered prior to the increase in consideration.

   
     The Purchaser will, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the
Offer, accept for payment and pay for an aggregate of 6,189 of the Units so
tendered, PRO RATA according to the number of Units validly tendered by each
Limited Partner and not properly withdrawn on or prior to the Expiration Date,
with appropriate adjustments to avoid (i) purchases of fractional Units and (ii)
purchases that would violate the Partnership Agreement and any relevant
procedures or regulations promulgated by the
    


                                       -4-

<PAGE>


Partnership's general partner.  The Purchaser will purchase all Units so
tendered and not withdrawn, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the
Offer.

     If proration of tendered Units is required, because of the difficulty of
determining the number of Units validly tendered and not withdrawn, the
Purchaser may not be able to announce the final results of such proration until
at least approximately seven business days after the Expiration Date.  Subject
to the Purchaser's obligation under Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act to pay
Limited Partners the Purchase Price in respect of Units tendered or return those
Units promptly after the termination or withdrawal of the Offer, the Purchaser
does not intend to pay for any Units accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer
until the final proration results are known.  NOTWITHSTANDING ANY SUCH DELAY IN
PAYMENT, NO INTEREST WILL BE PAID ON THE PURCHASE PRICE.

   
     The Offer is conditioned on satisfaction of certain conditions.  See
Section 14 of the Offer to Purchase, which sets forth in full the conditions of
the Offer.  The Purchaser reserves the right (but in no event shall be
obligated), in its sole discretion, to waive any or all of those conditions.
If, on or prior to the Expiration Date, any or all of the conditions have not
been satisfied or waived, the Purchaser reserves the right to (i) decline to
purchase any of the Units tendered, terminate the Offer and return all tendered
Certificates to tendering Limited Partners, (ii) waive all the unsatisfied
conditions and, subject to complying with applicable rules and regulations of
the Commission, purchase all Units validly tendered, (iii) extend the Offer and,
subject to the right of Limited Partners to withdraw Units until the Expiration
Date, retain the Units that have been tendered during the period or periods for
which the Offer is extended, and (iv) amend the Offer.
    

     The Offer to Purchase and the related Assignment of Partnership Interest
will be mailed pursuant to Rule 14d-5 under the Exchange Act.  The Purchaser has
requested that the Partnership furnish it with a list of holders of Units for
the purpose of disseminating the Offer to such holders.  If the Partnership
complies with such request, then the Purchaser will cause such mailing to be
made; otherwise, the Partnership is required by the Exchange Act and the rules
thereunder to cause such mailing to be made.

     SECTION 2.  ACCEPTANCE FOR PAYMENT AND PAYMENT FOR UNITS.

     Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, the Purchaser
will purchase by accepting for payment and will pay for all Units validly
tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with the


                                       -5-

<PAGE>


procedures specified in Section 4 of the Offer to Purchase, as promptly as
practicable following the Expiration Date.  A tendering beneficial owner of
Units whose Units are owned of record by an Individual Retirement Account or
other qualified plan will not receive direct payment of the Purchase Price;
rather, payment will be made to the custodian of such account or plan.  In all
cases, payment for Units purchased pursuant to the Offer will be made only after
timely receipt by the Depositary of a properly completed and duly executed
Assignment of Partnership Interest (or facsimile thereof) and any other
documents required by the Assignment of Partnership Interest.  See Section 3 of
the Offer to Purchase.  UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL INTEREST BE PAID ON THE
PURCHASE PRICE BY REASON OF ANY DELAY IN MAKING SUCH PAYMENT.

     For purposes of the Offer, the Purchaser will be deemed to have accepted
for payment pursuant to the Offer, and thereby purchased, validly tendered
Units, if, as and when the Purchaser gives verbal or written notice to the
Depositary of the Purchaser's acceptance of those Units for payment pursuant to
the Offer.

     If any tendered Units are not purchased for any reason, the Certificates
associated with such Units will be returned, without expense to such tendering
Limited Partner, as promptly as practicable following the expiration,
termination or withdrawal of the Offer.  If for any reason, acceptance for
payment of, or payment for, any Units tendered pursuant to the Offer is delayed
or the Purchaser is unable to accept for payment, purchase or pay for Units
tendered pursuant to the Offer, then, without prejudice to the Purchaser's
rights under Section 14 of the Offer to Purchase, the Depositary may,
nevertheless, on behalf of the Purchaser retain tendered Units, and those Units
may not be withdrawn except to the extent that the tendering Limited Partners
are entitled to withdrawal rights as described in Section 4 of the Offer to
Purchase; subject, however, to the Purchaser's obligation under Rule 14e-1(c)
under the Exchange Act to pay Limited Partners the Purchase Price in respect of
Units tendered or return those Units promptly after termination or withdrawal of
the Offer.

     The Purchaser reserves the right to (i) permit any direct or indirect
wholly-owned subsidiary of Highcrest to become a partner of the Purchaser and
(ii) transfer or assign, in whole or from time to time in part, to one or more
of the Purchaser's affiliates, the right to purchase Units tendered pursuant to
the Offer, but any such transfer or assignment will not relieve the Purchaser of
its obligations under the Offer or prejudice the rights of tendering Limited
Partners to receive payment for Units validly tendered and accepted for payment
pursuant to the Offer.


                                       -6-

<PAGE>


     SECTION 3.  PROCEDURE FOR TENDERING UNITS.

   
     VALID TENDER.  To validly tender Units, a properly completed and duly
executed Assignment of Partnership Interest and any other documents required by
the Assignment of Partnership Interest (or facsimiles thereof) and the
associated Certificates must be received by the Depositary, at its address set
forth on the back cover of the Offer to Purchase, on or prior to the Expiration
Date.  Subject to the Minimum Units Requirements, a Limited Partner may tender
any or all of the Units owned by that Limited Partner.  No alternative,
conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted.

     SIGNATURE REQUIREMENTS.  If the Assignment of Partnership Interest is
signed by the registered holder of the Units and payment is to be made directly
to that holder, then no signature guarantee is required on the Assignment of
Partnership Interest.  Similarly, if the Units are tendered for the account of a
member firm of a registered national securities exchange, a member of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or a commercial bank, savings
bank, credit union, savings and loan association or trust company having an
office, branch or agency in the United States which is a participant in the
Security Transfer Agent Medallion Program (each an "Eligible Institution"),
no signature guarantee is required on the Assignment of Partnership Interest.
However, in all other cases, all signatures on the Assignment of Partnership
Interest must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.
    

     In order for a tendering Limited Partner to participate in the Offer, its
Units must be validly tendered and not withdrawn on or prior to the Expiration
Date.

     THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF THE ASSIGNMENT OF PARTNERSHIP INTEREST, ALL OTHER
REQUIRED DOCUMENTS AND THE ASSOCIATED CERTIFICATES IS AT THE OPTION AND RISK OF
THE TENDERING LIMITED PARTNER AND DELIVERY WILL BE DEEMED MADE ONLY WHEN
ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY THE DEPOSITARY.  IN ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE
ALLOWED TO ASSURE TIMELY DELIVERY.

   
     APPOINTMENT AS PROXY.  By executing an Assignment of Partnership Interest,
a tendering Limited Partner irrevocably appoints the Purchaser, its officers and
its designees as the Limited Partner's proxies, in the manner set forth in the
Assignment of Partnership Interest, each with full power of substitution, to the
full extent of the Limited Partners's rights with respect to the Units tendered
by the Limited Partner and accepted for payment by the Purchaser.  Each such
proxy shall be considered coupled with an interest in the tendered Units.  Such
appointment will be effective when, and only to the extent that, the Purchaser
accepts the tendered Units for payment.  Upon such
    


                                       -7-

<PAGE>


acceptance for payment, all prior proxies given by the Limited Partner with
respect to the Units will, without further action, be revoked, and no subsequent
proxies may be given (and if given will not be effective).  The Purchaser, its
officers and the designees of the Purchaser will, as to those Units, be
empowered to exercise all voting and other rights of the Limited Partner as
they, in their sole discretion, may deem proper at any meeting of Limited
Partners, by written consent or otherwise.  The Purchaser reserves the right to
require that, in order for Units to be deemed validly tendered, immediately upon
the Purchaser's acceptance for payment of the Units, the Purchaser must be able
to exercise full voting rights with respect to the Units, including voting at
any meeting of Limited Partners then scheduled or acting by written consent
without a meeting.  By executing the Assignment of Partnership Interest, a
tendering holder of Units agrees to execute all such documents and take such
other actions as shall be reasonably required to enable the Units tendered to be
voted in accordance with the directions of the Purchaser.

   
     ASSIGNMENT OF INTEREST IN FUTURE DISTRIBUTIONS.  By executing an Assignment
of Partnership Interest, a tendering Limited Partner irrevocably assigns to the
Purchaser and its assigns all of the right, title and interest of the Limited
Partner in and to any and all distributions made by the Partnership from and
after the expiration of the Offer in respect of the Units tendered by the
Limited Partner and accepted for payment and thereby purchased by the Purchaser.

     DETERMINATION OF VALIDITY; REJECTION OF UNITS; WAIVER OF DEFECTS; NO
OBLIGATION TO GIVE NOTICE OF DEFECTS.  All questions as to the validity, form,
eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for payment of any tender
of Units pursuant to the Offer will be determined by the Purchaser, in its sole
discretion, which determination shall be final and binding on all parties.  The
Purchaser reserves the absolute right to reject any or all tenders of any
particular Units determined by it not to be in proper form or if the acceptance
of or payment for those Units may, in the opinion of the Purchaser's counsel, be
unlawful.  The Purchaser also reserves the absolute right to waive or amend any
of the conditions of the Offer that it is legally permitted to waive as to the
tender of any particular Units and to waive any defect or irregularity in any
tender with respect to any particular Units of any particular Limited Partner.
The Purchaser's interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Offer
(including the Assignment of Partnership Interest) will be final and binding on
all parties.  No tender of Units will be deemed to have been validly made unless
and until all defects and irregularities have been cured or waived.  Neither the
Purchaser, the Depositary nor any other person will be
    


                                       -8-

<PAGE>


under any duty to give notification of any defects or irregularities in the
tender of any Units or will incur any liability for failure to give any such
notification.

   
     BACKUP FEDERAL INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING.  To prevent the possible application
of backup federal income tax withholding of 31% with respect to payment of the
Purchase Price, a tendering Limited Partner must provide the Purchaser with the
Limited Partner's correct taxpayer identification number by completing the
Substitute Form W-9 included in the Assignment of Partnership Interest.  See the
Instructions to the Assignment of Partnership Interest and Section 6 of the
Offer to Purchase.

     FIRPTA WITHHOLDING.  To prevent the withholding of federal income tax in an
amount equal to 10% of the amount of the Purchase Price plus Partnership
liabilities allocable to each Unit purchased, each tendering Limited Partner
must complete the FIRPTA Affidavit included in the Assignment of Partnership
Interest certifying the Limited Partner's taxpayer identification number and
address and that the Limited Partner is not a foreign person.  See the
Instructions to the Assignment of Partnership Interest and Section 6 of the
Offer to Purchase.
    

     A tender of Units pursuant to any of the procedures described above and the
acceptance for payment of such Units will constitute a binding agreement between
the tendering Limited Partner and the Purchaser on the terms set forth in the
Offer.

     SECTION 4.  WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS.

   
     Tenders of Units pursuant to the Offer are irrevocable, except that Units
tendered pursuant to the Offer may be withdrawn at any time prior to the
Expiration Date and, unless already accepted for payment as provided in the
Offer to Purchase, may also be withdrawn at any time after October 2, 1995.
    

     For withdrawal to be effective, a written or facsimile transmission notice
of withdrawal must be timely received by the Depositary at its address set forth
on the back cover of the Offer to Purchase.  Any such notice of withdrawal must
specify the name of the person who tendered, the number of Units to be withdrawn
and the name in which the Certificates are registered, if different from the
person who tendered.  In addition, the notice of withdrawal must be signed by
the person(s) who signed the Assignment of Partnership Interest in the same
manner as the Assignment of Partnership Interest was signed.


                                       -9-

<PAGE>


     If purchase of, or payment for, Units is delayed for any reason or if the
Purchaser is unable to purchase or pay for Units for any reason, then, without
prejudice to the Purchaser's rights under the Offer, tendered Units may be
retained by the Depositary and may not be withdrawn, except to the extent that
tendering Limited Partners are entitled to withdrawal rights as set forth in
this Section 4; subject, however, to the Purchaser's obligation, pursuant to
Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act, to pay Limited Partners the Purchase Price
in respect of Units tendered or return those Units promptly after termination or
withdrawal of the Offer.

     Any Units properly withdrawn will be deemed not to be validly tendered for
purposes of the Offer.  Withdrawn Units may be re-tendered, however, by
following the procedures described in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase at any
time prior to the Expiration Date.

     All questions as to the validity and form (including time of receipt) of
notices of withdrawal will be determined by the Purchaser, in its sole
discretion, which determination shall be final and binding on all parties.
Neither the Purchaser, the Depositary nor any other person will be under any
duty to give notification of any defects or irregularities in any notice of
withdrawal or incur any liability for failure to give any such notification.

     SECTION 5.  EXTENSION OF TENDER PERIOD; TERMINATION; AMENDMENT.

     The Purchaser expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, at any
time and from time to time, (i) to extend the period of time during which the
Offer is open and thereby delay acceptance for payment of, and the payment for,
any Units, (ii) to terminate the Offer and not accept for payment any Units not
theretofore accepted for payment or paid for, (iii) upon the occurrence of any
of the conditions specified in Section 14 of the Offer to Purchase, to delay the
acceptance for payment of, or payment for, any Units not already accepted for
payment or paid for, and (iv) to amend the Offer in any respect (including,
without limitation, by increasing the consideration offered, increasing or
decreasing the number of Units being sought, or both).  Notice of any such
extension, termination or amendment will promptly be disseminated to Limited
Partners in a manner reasonably designed to inform Limited Partners of such
change in compliance with Rule 14d-4(c) under the Exchange Act.  In the case of
an extension of the Offer, the extension will be followed by a press release or
public announcement which will be issued no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City
time, on the next business day after the scheduled


                                      -10-

<PAGE>


Expiration Date, in accordance with Rule 14e-1(d) under the Exchange Act.

     If the Purchaser extends the Offer, or if the Purchaser (whether before or
after its acceptance for payment of Units) is delayed in its payment for Units
or is unable to pay for Units pursuant to the Offer for any reason, then,
without prejudice to the Purchaser's rights under the Offer, the Depositary may
retain tendered Units and those Units may not be withdrawn except to the extent
tendering Limited Partners are entitled to withdrawal rights as described in
Section 4 of the Offer to Purchase; subject, however, to the Purchaser's
obligation, pursuant to Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act, to pay Limited
Partners the Purchase Price in respect of Units tendered or return those Units
promptly after termination or withdrawal of the Offer.

      If the Purchaser makes a material change in the terms of the Offer, or if
it waives a material condition to the Offer, the Purchaser will extend the Offer
and disseminate additional tender offer materials to the extent required by
Rules 14d-4(c) and 14d-6(d) under the Exchange Act.  The minimum period during
which an offer must remain open following any material change in the terms of an
offer, other than a change in price or a change in percentage of securities
sought or a change in any dealer's soliciting fee, will depend upon the facts
and circumstances, including the materiality of the change.  With respect to a
change in price or, subject to certain limitations, a change in the percentage
of securities sought or a change in any dealer's soliciting fee, a minimum of
ten business days from the date of such change is generally required to allow
for adequate dissemination to holders of Units.  Accordingly, if prior to the
Expiration Date, the Purchaser increases (other than increases of not more than
two percent of the outstanding Units) or decreases the number of Units being
sought, or increases or decreases the consideration offered pursuant to an
Offer, and if such Offer is scheduled to expire at any time earlier than the
tenth business day from the date that notice of such increase or decrease is
first published, sent or given to holders of Units, such Offer will be extended
at least until the expiration of such ten business days.  As used in the Offer
to Purchase, "business day" means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a
federal holiday, and consists of the time period from 12:01 a.m. through 12:00
midnight, New York City time.

     SECTION 6.  CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX MATTERS.

       The following summary is a general discussion of certain of the federal
income tax consequences of a sale of Units pursuant to the Offer.  This summary
is based on the Internal Revenue Code of


                                      -11-

<PAGE>


1986, as amended (the "Code"), applicable Treasury regulations thereunder,
administrative rulings, practice and procedures and judicial authority, all as
of the date of the Offer.  All of the foregoing are subject to change, and any
such change could affect the continuing accuracy of this summary.  This summary
does not discuss all aspects of federal income taxation that may be relevant to
a particular Limited Partner in light of such Limited Partner's specific
circumstances or to certain types of Limited Partners subject to special
treatment under the federal income tax laws (for example, foreign persons,
dealers in securities, banks, insurance companies and tax-exempt organizations),
nor (except as otherwise expressly indicated) does it describe any aspect of
state, local, foreign or other tax laws.  Sales of Units pursuant to the Offer
will be taxable transactions for federal income tax purposes, and also may be
taxable transactions under applicable state, local, foreign and other tax laws.
LIMITED PARTNERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR RESPECTIVE TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE
PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO EACH SUCH LIMITED PARTNER OF SELLING UNITS
PURSUANT TO THE OFFER.

     In general, a Limited Partner will recognize gain or loss on a sale of
Units pursuant to the Offer equal to the difference between (i) the Limited
Partner's "amount realized" on the sale and (ii) the Limited Partner's adjusted
tax basis in the Units sold.  The amount of a Limited Partner's adjusted tax
basis in such Units will vary depending upon the Limited Partner's particular
circumstances.  The "amount realized" with respect to a Unit will be a sum equal
to the amount of cash received by the Limited Partner for the Unit pursuant to
the Offer (that is, the Purchase Price) plus the amount of the Partnership's
liabilities allocable to the Unit (as determined under Code Section 752).

     The gain or loss recognized by a Limited Partner on a sale of a Unit
pursuant to the Offer generally will be treated as a capital gain or loss if (as
is generally expected to be the case) the Unit was held by the Limited Partner
as a capital asset.  That capital gain or loss will be treated as long-term
capital gain or loss if the tendering Limited Partner's holding period for the
Unit exceeds one year.  Under current law, long-term capital gains of
individuals and other non-corporate taxpayers are taxed at a maximum marginal
federal income tax rate of 28%, whereas the maximum marginal federal income tax
rate for ordinary income of such persons is 39.6%.  Capital losses are
deductible only to the extent of capital gains, except that non-corporate
taxpayers may deduct up to $3,000 of capital losses in excess of the amount of
their capital gains against ordinary income.  Excess capital losses generally
can be carried forward to succeeding years (a corporation's carryforward period
is five years and a non-corporate taxpayer can carry forward such losses
indefinitely); in addition,


                                      -12-

<PAGE>


a corporation is permitted to carry back excess capital losses to the three
preceding taxable years, provided the carryback does not increase or produce a
net operating loss for any of those years.

     If any portion of the amount realized by a Limited Partner is attributable
to "unrealized receivables" (which includes depreciation recapture) or
"substantially appreciated inventory" as defined in Code Section 751, then a
portion of the Limited Partner's gain or loss may be ordinary rather than
capital.

     A tendering Limited Partner will be allocated a pro rata share of the
Partnership's taxable income or loss for the year of sale with respect to the
Units sold in accordance with the provisions of the Partnership Agreement
concerning transfers of Units.  Such allocation and any cash distributed by the
Partnership to the Limited Partner for that year will affect the Limited
Partner's adjusted tax basis in Units and, therefore, the amount of such Limited
Partner's taxable gain or loss upon a sale of Units pursuant to the Offer.

   
     Under Code Section 469, a non-corporate taxpayer or personal service
corporation generally can deduct "passive activity losses" in any year only to
the extent of the person's passive activity income for that year.  Closely held
corporations may not offset such losses against so-called "portfolio" income.
Substantially all post-1986 losses of Limited Partners from the Partnership are
passive activity losses.  Limited Partners may have "suspended" passive activity
losses from the Partnership (I.E., post-1986 net taxable losses in excess of
statutorily permitted "phase-in" amounts and which have not been used to offset
income from other passive activities).
    

     If a Limited Partner sells less than all of its Units pursuant to the
Offer, a loss recognized by that Limited Partner can be currently deducted
(subject to other applicable limitations) to the extent of the Limited Partner's
passive income from the Partnership for that year plus any other passive
activity income for that year, and a gain recognized by a Limited Partner upon
the sale of Units can be offset by the Limited Partner's current or "suspended"
passive activity losses (if any) from the Partnership and other sources.  If, on
the other hand, a Limited Partner sells 100% of its Units pursuant to the Offer,
any "suspended" losses and any losses recognized upon the sale of the Units will
be offset first against any other net passive gain to the Limited Partner from
the sale of the Units and any other net passive activity income from other
passive activity investments, and the balance of any "suspended" net losses from
the Units will no longer be subject to the passive activity loss limitation and,
therefore, will be


                                      -13-

deductible by such Limited Partner from its other income (subject to any other
applicable limitations).  A tendering Limited Partner must sell ALL of its Units
to receive these tax benefits.  Because the offer is being made for less than
all of the outstanding Units, there can be no assurance that a Limited Partner
which tenders all of its Units will in fact sell all of its Units pursuant to
the Offer.
    

     Section 708(b) of the Code provides that a partnership terminates for
income tax purposes if there is a sale or exchange of 50 percent or more of the
total interest in partnership capital and profits within a twelve-month period.
Accordingly, it is possible that transfers made pursuant to the Offer, in
combination with other transfers made within twelve months of the Offer, will
result in a termination of the Partnership for income tax purposes.  In the
event of a termination, the Partnership would be treated for income tax purposes
as if it had made a liquidating distribution of its assets to the remaining
partners and the new partners, followed by a recontribution of the assets to a
"new" partnership.  Since the "new" partnership would be treated as having
acquired its assets on the date of the deemed recontribution, a new depreciation
recovery period would begin on such date and the Partnership's properties would
be required to be depreciated over a greater period than is currently being
used, and accordingly, the aggregate present value of the Partnership's
depreciation deductions would be reduced.

     Limited Partners (other than tax-exempt persons, corporations and certain
foreign persons) who tender Units may be subject to 31% backup withholding
unless those Limited Partners provide a taxpayer identification number ("TIN")
and certify that the TIN is correct or properly certify that they are awaiting a
TIN.  A Limited Partner may avoid backup withholding by properly completing and
signing the Substitute Form W-9 included as part of the Assignment of
Partnership Interest.  If a Limited Partner who is subject to backup withholding
does not properly complete and sign the Substitute Form W-9, the Purchaser will
withhold 31% from payments to such Limited Partner.

     A Limited Partner who tenders Units must file an information statement with
his federal income tax return for the year of the sale which provides the
information specified in Treasury Regulation Section 1.751-1(a)(3).  The selling
Limited Partner also must notify the Partnership of the date of the transfer and
the names, addresses and TINs of the transferor and transferee within 30 days of
the date of the transfer (or, if earlier, by January 15 of the following
calendar year).


                                      -14-

<PAGE>


     Gain realized by a foreign Limited Partner on the sale of a Unit pursuant
to the Offer will be subject to federal income tax.  Under Code Section 1445,
the transferee of an interest held by a foreign person in a partnership which
owns United States real property generally is required to deduct and withhold a
tax equal to 10% of the amount realized on the disposition.  In order to comply
with this requirement, the Purchaser will withhold 10% of the amount realized by
a tendering Limited Partner unless the Limited Partner properly completes and
signs the FIRPTA Affidavit included as part of the Assignment of Partnership
Interest certifying the Limited Partner's TIN, that such Limited Partner is not
a foreign person and the Limited Partner's address.  Amounts withheld would be
creditable against a foreign Limited Partner's federal income tax liability and,
if in excess thereof, a refund could be obtained from the Internal Revenue
Service by filing a U.S. income tax return.

     SECTION 7.  EFFECTS OF THE OFFER.

   
     EFFECT ON TRADING MARKET; REGISTRATION UNDER SECTION 12(G) OF THE EXCHANGE
ACT.  If a substantial number of Units are purchased pursuant to the Offer, the
likely result will be a reduction in the number of Limited Partners.  In the
case of certain kinds of securities, a reduction in the number of security-
holders might be expected to result in a reduction in the liquidity and volume
of activity in the trading market for the security.  In this case, however,
there is no established public trading market for the Units, and therefore, the
Purchaser does not believe a reduction in the number of Limited Partners will
materially further restrict the Limited Partners' abilities to find purchasers
for their Units.
    

     The Units are registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, which
means, among other things, that the Partnership is required to file periodic
reports with the Commission and to comply with the Commission's proxy rules.
The Purchaser does not expect or intend that consummation of the Offer will
cause the Units to cease to be registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange
Act.  If the Units were to be held by fewer than 300 persons, the Partnership
could apply to de-register the Units under the Exchange Act.  Because the Units
are widely held, however, the Purchaser expects that, even if it purchases the
maximum number of Units in the Offer, after that purchase, the Units will be
held of record by substantially more than 300 persons.

          As a result of the Offer and in the Purchaser's capacity as a Limited
Partner of the Partnership, the Purchaser will participate in any subsequent
distributions to Limited Partners to the extent of the Units purchased pursuant
to the Offer.

     SECTION 8.  FUTURE PLANS OF THE PURCHASER.

   
     Although the Purchaser is making the Offer for investment purposes, it may,
if successful, be in a position, and may later determine, to seek to acquire
control of the Partnership.  The Purchaser may seek to remove the general
partner of the Partnership but, while reserving such right, the Purchaser has no
present intention of doing so.  Such removal may require the Partnership to pay
a fee to the Partnership's general partner and/or its affiliates and may result
in acceleration of certain of the Partnership's debt obligations, which may have
an adverse effect on the Partnership.  See "Introduction" of the Offer to
Purchase.  Following the completion of the Offer, the Purchaser and/or persons
related to or affiliated with it may acquire additional Units or may sell Units.
Any acquisition may be made through private purchases, through one or more
future tender or exchange offers or by any other means deemed advisable.  Any
acquisition may be at a price higher or lower than the price to be paid for the
Units purchased pursuant to the Offer, and may be for cash or other
consideration.  The Purchaser also may consider selling some or all of the Units
it acquires pursuant to the Offer to persons not yet determined, which may
include the Partnership's general partner and/or an affiliate of the general
partner.
    

     Except as set forth herein, the Purchaser does not have any present plans
or proposals which relate to or would result in an extraordinary transaction,
such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Partnership or
any of the Partnership's subsidiaries; a sale or transfer of a material amount
of the Partnership's assets (or assets of the Partnership's subsidiaries); any
changes in composition of the Partnership's senior management or personnel or
their compensation; any changes in the Partnership's present capitalization or
dividend policy; or any other material changes in the Partnership's structure or
business.

     SECTION 9.  CERTAIN INFORMATION CONCERNING THE PARTNERSHIP.

     Information contained in this Section 9 is based upon documents and reports
publicly filed by the Partnership.  Although the Purchaser has no information
that any statements contained in this Section 9 are untrue, the Purchaser cannot
take responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any information
contained in this Section 9 or for any failure by the Partnership to disclose
events which may have occurred and may affect the significance or accuracy of
any such information but which are unknown to the Purchaser.

     SECTION 10.  VOTING BY THE PURCHASER.

   
     If the Purchaser acquires a substantial number of Units pursuant to the
Offer, the Purchaser may be in a position to influence voting decisions with
respect to the Partnership.  Under the Partnership Agreement, Limited Partners
holding a majority of the Units are entitled to remove the Partnership's general
partner, but, while reserving such right, the Purchaser has no present intention
of doing so.  Such removal may require the Partnership to pay a fee to the
Partnership's general partner and/or its affiliates and may result in an
acceleration of certain of the Partnership's debt obligations, which may have an
adverse effect on the Partnership.  In addition, Limited Partners holding a
majority of the Units are entitled to take action with respect to a variety of
matters, including dissolution of the Partnership and most types of amendments
to the Partnership Agreement, but the Purchaser has no present intention of
doing so.

          Neither Mr. Icahn, the Purchaser or Riverdale, nor, to the best  of
their knowledge, any of the persons listed on Schedule I attached hereto, (i)
beneficially own or have a right to acquire any Units, (ii) have effected any
transaction in the Units, or (iii) have any contract, arrangement, understanding
or relationship with any other person with respect to any securities of the
Partnership, including, but not limited to, contracts, arrangements,
understandings or relationships concerning transfer or voting thereof, joint
ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of loans,
guarantees against loss or the giving or withholding of proxies.
    

    SECTION 12.  SOURCE OF FUNDS.

   
    The Purchaser expects that approximately $830,790.00 will be required to
purchase 6,189 Units, if tendered, and to pay related fees and expenses. The
Purchaser will obtain all of those funds from:  (i) its liquid assets and/or
(ii) a capital contribution from its limited partner, Highcrest, which will
obtain such funds from its liquid assets and/or the liquid assets of its
wholly-owned, direct or indirect subsidiaries.  Highcrest has irrevocably
committed to make such capital contribution.
    

    SECTION 13.  BACKGROUND OF THE OFFER.

   
    PRIOR CONTACTS WITH THE PARTNERSHIP.  During the period beginning on or
about July 27, 1995, Mr. Icahn participated in several telephone conversations
with persons acting on behalf of the Partnership's general partner (including
one conversation with such general partner), during which the possibility of
conducting a joint tender offer for Units and also
    


                                      -28-

<PAGE>


the possible purchase of the general partner or an interest therein was
explored.  No agreement with respect to any such transaction was reached.

   
    TRADING HISTORY OF THE UNITS.  The Partnership's Form 10-K states:  "There
is no established public trading market for limited partnership units nor is one
expected to develop."

     VALUATION ANALYSIS. The Purchaser reviewed publicly available financial
information relating to the Partnership for its fiscal year ended December 31,
1994 in order to determine an adjusted net income (reduced by an amount intended
to reflect normal capital expenditures and operating expenses) of $447,936.00,
and then capitalized that amount at 10.50%, which the Purchaser believes
represents an appropriate capitalization rate for a real estate portfolio such
as the Partnership's. That review process produced an estimated aggregate net
asset value per Unit (exclusive of cash and cash equivalents equal to
approximately $70.00 per Unit as of March 31, 1995) of approximately $146.00. It
should be noted that the Purchaser does not have access to any information
concerning the Partnership or its properties other than information that is
publicly available, that the Purchaser's foregoing calculations are based on
rough estimates and that the values resulting therefrom may not be indicative of
actual values to any extent. It should also be noted that investors may disagree
as to the appropriate capitalization rate to be applied, and Limited Partners
are advised that the utilization of a lower capitalization rate results in a
higher estimate of aggregate value.

    SECTION 15.  CERTAIN LEGAL MATTERS.

   
    GENERAL.  Except as set forth in this Section 15, the Purchaser is not,
based on its review of publicly available filings by the Partnership with the
Commission and other publicly available information regarding the Partnership,
aware of any licenses or regulatory permits that would be material to the
business of the Partnership, taken as a whole, and that might be adversely
affected by the Purchaser's acquisition of Units as contemplated herein, or any
filings, approvals or other actions by or with any domestic or foreign
governmental authority or administrative or regulatory agency that would be
required prior to the acquisition of Units by the Purchaser pursuant to the
Offer as contemplated herein.  While there is no present intent to delay the
purchase of Units tendered pursuant to the Offer pending receipt of any such
additional approval or the taking of any such action, there can be no assurance
that any such additional approval or action, if needed, would be obtained
without substantial conditions or that adverse consequences might not result to
the Partnership's business, or that certain parts of the Partnership's business
might not have to be disposed of or other substantial conditions complied with
in order to obtain such approval or action, any of which could cause the
Purchaser to elect to terminate the Offer without purchasing Units thereunder.
The Purchaser's obligation to purchase and pay for Units is subject to certain
conditions, including conditions related to the legal matters discussed in this
Section 15 of the Offer to Purchase.

    ANTITRUST.  The Purchaser does not believe that the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, is applicable to the acquisition
of Units contemplated by the Offer.

    MARGIN REQUIREMENTS.  The Units are not "margin securities" under the
regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and,
accordingly, those regulations generally are not applicable to the Offer.
    


                                      -32-

<PAGE>


   
    STATE LAWS.  The Purchaser is not aware of any jurisdiction in which the
making of the Offer is not in compliance with applicable law.  If the Purchaser
becomes aware of any jurisdiction in which the making of the Offer would not be
in compliance with applicable law, the Purchaser will make a good faith effort
to comply with any such law.  If, after such good faith effort, the Purchaser
cannot comply with any such law, the Offer will not be made to (nor will tenders
be accepted from or on behalf of) Limited Partners residing in such
jurisdiction.  In those jurisdictions whose securities or blue sky laws require
the Offer to be made by a licensed broker or dealer, the Offer shall be made on
behalf of the Purchaser, if at all, only by one or more registered brokers or
dealers licensed under the laws of that jurisdiction.
    

    SECTION 16.  FEES AND EXPENSES.

    Except as set forth in this Section 16, the Purchaser will not pay any fees
or commissions to any broker, dealer or other person for soliciting tenders of
Units pursuant to the Offer.  The Purchaser has retained IBJ Schroder Bank &
Trust Company to act as Depositary and D.F. King & Co., Inc. to act as
Information Agent in connection with the Offer.  The Purchaser will pay the
Depositary and Information Agent reasonable and customary compensation for their
services in connection with the Offer, plus reimbursement for out-of-pocket
expenses, and will indemnify the Depositary and Information Agent against
certain liabilities and expenses in connection therewith, including liabilities
under the federal securities laws.  The Purchaser will also pay all costs and
expenses of printing and mailing the Offer and its legal fees and expenses.

    No person has been authorized to give any information or to make any
representation on behalf of the Purchaser not contained herein or in the
Assignment of Partnership Interest and, if given or made, such information or
representation must not be relied upon as having been authorized.

   
    The Purchaser has filed with the Commission a Tender Offer Statement on
Schedule 14D-1 (including exhibits), pursuant to Rule 14d-3 under the Exchange
Act, furnishing certain additional information with respect to the Offer, and
may file amendments thereto.  The Schedule 14D-1 and any amendments thereto,
including exhibits, may be inspected and copies may be obtained at the same
places and in the same manner as set forth in the "Introduction" of the Offer to
Purchase (except that they will not be available at the regional offices of the
Commission).

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned hereby tenders to High River Limited Partnership,
a Delaware limited partnership (the "Purchaser"), the number of
the undersigned's units of limited partnership interest specified
below (together with the Certificates to the extent of such units
of limited partnership interest specified below, and all right,
title and interest associated therewith, the "Units") in McNeil
Pacific Investors Fund 1972, a California limited partnership
(the "Partnership"), at a price of $110.00 per Unit, net to the
seller in cash, less the amount of distributions per unit, if
any, made by the Partnership between August 3, 1995 and the
Expiration Date, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in the Offer to Purchase, receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, and in this Assignment of Partnership Interest
(which, together with any supplements or amendments, collectively
constitute the "Offer").  The Purchaser reserves the right to
permit any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of
Highcrest to become a partner of the Purchaser and to transfer or
assign, in whole or from time to time in part, to one or more of
its affiliates, the right to purchase Units tendered pursuant to
the Offer, but any such transfer or assignment will not relieve
the Purchaser of its obligations under the Offer or prejudice the
rights of tendering Limited Partners to receive payment for Units
validly tendered and accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer.

Subject to and effective upon acceptance for payment of and
payment for the Units tendered hereby, the undersigned hereby
sells, assigns, and transfers to or upon the order of the
Purchaser all right, title and interest in and to all of the
Units tendered hereby (including the related Certificates),
including, without limitation, all rights in, and claims to, any
voting rights, rights to be substituted as a Limited Partner of
the Partnership, Partnership profits and losses, cash
distributions and other benefits of any nature whatsoever
distributable or allocable or otherwise to such tendered Units

to Purchase, this Assignment of Partnership Interest shall be
effective to transfer to the Purchaser only that number of the

upon acceptance for payment of and payment for the tendered
Units, the Purchaser will be entitled to seek admission to the
Partnership as a Limited Partner in substitution for the
undersigned as to all tendered Units, except that if proration of
tendered Units is required as described in Section 1 of the Offer
to Purchase, and as a result the Purchaser accepts for payment
and thereby purchases less than all of the undersigned's Units
tendered hereby, then the undersigned may continue to be a
Limited Partner with respect to the tendered Units that are not
purchased.

   

The undersigned irrevocably appoints the Purchaser, its general
partner, and any designees of the Purchaser, as the attorneys-in-
fact and proxies of the undersigned, each with full power of
substitution, to exercise all voting and other rights with
respect to the Units tendered by the undersigned and accepted for
payment by the Purchaser, including without limitation, to
deliver such Units and transfer ownership of such Units on the
Partnership books maintained by the general partner of the
Partnership and to become a substituted limited partner and to
receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all rights of
beneficial ownership of such Units and as a Limited Partner of
the Partnership, all in accordance with the terms of the Offer. 
Such power of attorney and proxy shall be considered coupled with
an interest in the tendered Units and are irrevocable.  When the
Units tendered hereby are accepted for payment pursuant to the
Offer, all prior proxies and powers given by the undersigned with
respect to the Units will, without further action, be revoked,
and no subsequent proxies or powers may be given, and if given
will not be effective.  The Purchaser, its general partner and
any designee of the Purchaser will, with respect to the Units, be
empowered to exercise all voting and other rights of the
undersigned as they, in their sole discretion, may deem proper,
whether at any meeting of the Partnership's Limited Partners, by
written consent or otherwise.  The foregoing proxy and power may
be exercised by the Purchaser or any of the other persons
referred to above acting alone.

    

In addition to and without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the undersigned hereby irrevocably (a) appoints, any
person nominated by the Purchaser, or any designee thereof (the
"Agent"), as the undersigned's attorney-in-fact, with an
irrevocable instruction to the Agent to execute all or any
instruments of transfer and/or other documents in the Agent's
discretion in relation to the Units tendered hereby and to make

required, as described in Section 1 of the Offer to Purchase,
such of those Units as are purchased by the Purchaser); and (d)
agrees not to exercise any rights pertaining to the Units without

hereby and has full power and authority to validly tender, sell, assign and
transfer the Units tendered hereby and that when the same are accepted for
payment by the Purchaser, the Purchaser will acquire good, marketable and
unencumbered title thereto, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges,
encumbrances, conditional sales agreements or other obligations relating to the
sale or transfer thereof, and such Units will not be subject to any adverse
claims and that the transfer and assignment contemplated herein are in
compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. The undersigned further

Units tendered hereby and otherwise in order to complete the transactions,
transfers and admissions to the Partnership contemplated herein.

the procedures described in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase
and in the Instructions hereto will constitute a binding
agreement between the undersigned and the Purchaser upon the

      FIRPTA AFFIDAVIT - CERTIFICATE OF NON-FOREIGN STATUS

     Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that a
transferee of a U.S. real property interest must withhold tax if
the transferor is a foreign person.  To inform the transferee
that withholding of tax is not required upon this disposition of
a U.S. real property interest, the undersigned hereby certifies
the following on behalf of the tendering Limited Partner named
below:

     1.   The Limited Partner, if an individual, is not a
          nonresident alien for purposes of U.S. income taxation,
          and if not an individual, is not a foreign corporation,
          foreign partnership, foreign trust, or foreign estate
          (as those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue
          Code and Income Tax Regulations);

     2.   The name of the Limited Partner is
          __________________________________________________;

     3.   The Limited Partner's Social Security Number (for
          individuals) or Employer Identification Number (for
          non-individuals) is ____________________;   and

     4.   The Limited Partner's home address (in the case of an
          individual) or office address (in the case of an
          entity) is
          ___________________________________________________.

     I understand that this certification may be disclosed to the
Internal Revenue Service by the transferee and that any false
statement I have made here could be punished by fine,
imprisonment, or both.

    Under penalties of perjury I declare that I have examined
this certification and to the best of my knowledge and belief it
is true, correct and complete, and if the Limited Partner is not
an individual, I further declare that I have authority to sign
this document on behalf of the Limited Partner.

any required signature guarantees and any other required
documents, must be received by the Depositary at one of its
addresses set forth herein on or prior to the Expiration Date (as
defined in the Offer to Purchase).

BE DEEMED MADE ONLY WHEN ACTUALLY RECEIVED BY THE DEPOSITARY.  IN
ALL CASES, SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO ASSURE TIMELY
DELIVERY.

accepted, and no fractional Units will be purchased (except from
a Limited Partner who is tendering all of the Units owned by that

tender to be valid, a Limited Partner must satisfy the Minimum
Units Requirements (as defined in the second paragraph of the
Offer to Purchase).

   
     If fewer than all the Units evidenced by any Certificate
submitted are to be purchased, new Certificate(s) for the remainder
of the Units that were evidenced by your old Certificate(s) will
be sent to you, at the address set forth above, as soon as
practicable after the expiration of the Offer.  All Units
represented by Certificates which are listed above and delivered
to the Depositary will be deemed to have been tendered unless

the Assignment of Partnership Interest is signed by the
registered holder(s) of the Units tendered hereby, the
signature(s) must correspond exactly with the name(s) as shown on
the records of the Partnership without alteration, enlargement or
any change whatsoever.

     If any of the Units tendered hereby are held of record by
two or more joint holders, all such holders must sign the
Assignment of Partnership Interest.

     If the Assignment of Partnership is signed by trustees,
executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, agents,
officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or
representative capacity, such persons should so indicate when
signing, and proper evidence satisfactory to the Depositary of
their authority so to act must be submitted.

     6.   SPECIAL DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS.  If a check or new
Certificate (see Instruction 4) is to be sent to an address other
than the registered address, signature guarantees are required. 
See Instruction 1.

     7.   WAIVER OF CONDITIONS.  The Purchaser expressly
reserves the absolute right, in its sole discretion, to waive any

                                      -15-

     8.   REQUESTS FOR ASSISTANCE AND ADDITIONAL COPIES. 
Questions or requests for assistance may be directed to the
Information Agent, D.F. King & Co., Inc., at (212) 269-5550
(Collect) or toll free, at (800) 628-8538.  Copies of the Offer
to Purchase and the Assignment of Partnership Interest may be
obtained from the Information Agent.
    

     9.   SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9.  Each tendering Limited Partner
is required to provide the Depositary with a correct taxpayer
identification number ("TIN"), generally the Limited Partner's
social security or federal employer identification number, on
Substitute Form W-9, which is provided above. You must cross out
item (b) in the Certification box on Substitute Form W-9 if you
are subject to backup withholding.  Failure to provide the
information on the form may subject the tendering Limited Partner
to 31 percent federal income tax withholding on the payments made
to the Limited Partner or other payee with respect to Units
purchased pursuant to the Offer.  The box in Part 3 of the form
may be checked if the tendering Limited Partner has not been
issued a TIN and has applied for a TIN or intends to apply for a
TIN in the near future.  If the box in Part 3 is checked, backup
withholding, if applicable, will begin 7 days after the
Depositary receives an Awaiting TIN Certification and will
continue until you furnish your TIN.  If within 60 days the
Depositary receives your TIN on a new IRS Form W-9 or copy of the
Substitute Form W-9 provided above, the Depositary will return
amounts withheld through the date such IRS Form W-9 or Substitute
Form W-9 is received.  

     10.  FIRPTA AFFIDAVIT.  To avoid potential withholding of
tax pursuant to Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code in an
amount equal to 10 per cent of the purchase price for Units
purchased pursuant to the Offer, plus the amount of any
liabilities of the Partnership allocable to such Units, each
Limited Partner who or which is a United States person must
complete the FIRPTA Affidavit contained in the Assignment of
Partnership Interest stating, under penalties of perjury, such
Limited Partner's TIN and address, and that such Limited Partner
is not a foreign person.  Tax withheld under Section 1445 of the
Internal Revenue Code is not an additional tax.  If withholding
results in an overpayment of tax, a refund may be obtained from
the IRS.

   
     11.  STATEMENT OF DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN CERTIFICATE(S). 
The Statement of Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificate(s) (the
"Statement") has been prepared by the Purchaser without consultation
with the Partnership or its general partner. Accordingly, there can
be no assurance that the Statement will be acceptable to the
Partnership. In the event that the Statement is rejected by the
Partnership, the Purchaser reserves the right to reject and not pay
for any applicable Units. As a result, Limited Partners who are
unable to locate their Certificates may desire to contact the
Partnership directly in order to obtain replacement Certificates
or otherwise comply with such procedures as may have been adopted
by the Partnership. If you are unable to locate your Certificates
then, subject to the foregoing, you may complete and sign the
Statement

                    IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION

     Under federal income tax law, in order to prevent backup
withholding on amounts payable to a Limited Partner whose
tendered Units are accepted for payment, such Limited Partner is
required to provide the Depositary with such Limited Partner's
correct TIN on Substitute Form W-9 above or otherwise establish a
basis for exemption from backup withholding.  If such Limited
Partner is an individual, the TIN is his or her social security
number.  If the Depositary is not provided with the correct TIN,
the Limited Partner or other payee may be subject to penalties
imposed by the Internal Revenue Service.  In addition, payments
that are made to such Limited Partner or other payee with respect
to Units purchased pursuant to the Offer may be subject to backup
withholding.

     Certain Limited Partners (including, among others, all
corporations and certain foreign persons) are not subject to
these backup withholding and reporting requirements.  Exempt
Limited Partners should indicate their exempt status on
Substitute Form W-9.  In order for a foreign person to qualify as
an exempt recipient, that Limited Partner must submit to the
Depositary a properly completed Internal Revenue Service Form W-
8, signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to that Limited
Partner's exempt status.  A Form W-8 can be obtained from the
Depositary.  See the enclosed "Guidelines for Certification of
Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9" for
additional instructions.  

     If backup withholding applies, the Depositary is required to
withhold 31 percent of any reportable payments made to the
Limited Partner or other payee.  Backup withholding is not an
additional  tax.  Rather, the federal income tax liability of
persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the
amount of tax withheld.  If withholding results in an overpayment
of taxes, a refund may be obtained from the Internal Revenue
Service.

     PLEASE NOTE THAT A TENDERING BENEFICIAL OWNER OF UNITS WHOSE
UNITS ARE OWNED OF RECORD BY AN INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNT OR
OTHER QUALIFIED PLAN WILL NOT RECEIVE DIRECT PAYMENT OF THE
PURCHASE PRICE; RATHER, PAYMENT WILL BE MADE TO THE CUSTODIAN OF
SUCH ACCOUNT OR PLAN.

                                      -18-

PURPOSE OF SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9

     To prevent backup withholding on payments made to a Limited
Partner or other payee with respect to Units purchased pursuant
to the Offer, the Limited Partner is required to notify the
Depositary of the Limited Partner's correct TIN by completing the
Substitute Form W-9 provided above, and to certify (i) that the
TIN provided on Substitute Form W-9 is correct (or that such
Limited Partner is awaiting a TIN) and (ii) that the Limited
Partner either (A) is exempt from backup withholding, (B) has not
been notified by the Internal Revenue Service that the Limited
Partner is subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure
to report all interest or dividends or (C) has been notified by
the Internal Revenue Service that the Limited Partner is no
longer subject to backup withholding.  Failure to provide the
information requested on such Form or to make the certification
requested may subject the tendering Limited Partner to 31 per
cent federal income tax withholding on payments received by such
Limited Partner (or other payee) with respect to Units that are
accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer.

WHAT NUMBER TO GIVE THE DEPOSITARY

   
     The Limited Partner is required to give the Depositary the
TIN (e.g., social security number or employer identification
number) of the record owner of the Units.  If the Units are held
in more than one name or are not held in the name of the actual
owner, consult the enclosed "Guidelines for Certification of
Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute Form W-9" for
additional guidance on which number to report.

    GUIDELINES FOR CERTIFICATION OF TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION
                 NUMBER ON SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9
                   Section references are to
         the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

PURPOSE OF SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9

The Purchaser is required to file an information return with the
IRS and, consequently, must get your correct TIN to report income
paid to you.  Use Substitute Form W-9 to give your correct TIN to
the Depositary and, when applicable, (1) to certify the TIN you
are giving is correct (or you are waiting for a number to be
issued), (2) to certify you are not subject to backup
withholding, or (3) to claim exemption from backup withholding if
you are an exempt payee.  Giving your correct TIN and making the
appropriate certifications will prevent certain payments from
being subject to backup withholding.

WHAT IS BACKUP WITHHOLDING?

Under certain conditions, the Purchaser or the Depositary must
withhold and pay to the IRS 31 per cent of payments made to you
pursuant to the Offer.  This is called "backup withholding."
Payments that could be subject to backup withholding include
interest, dividends, broker and barter exchange transactions,
rents, royalties, nonemployee pay, and certain payments from
fishing boat operators.  Real estate transactions are not subject
to backup withholding.

If you give the Depositary your correct TIN, make the proper
certifications, and report all your taxable interest and
dividends on your tax return, your payments will not be subject
to backup withholding.  Payments you receive will be subject to
backup withholding if:

     1.        You do not furnish your TIN to the Depositary, or

     2.        The IRS tells the Purchaser that you furnished an
               incorrect TIN, or

     3.        The IRS tells you that you are subject to backup
               withholding because you did not report all your interest and
               dividends on your tax return (for reportable interest and
               dividends only), or

     4.        You do not certify to the Depositary that you are not
               subject to backup withholding under 3 above (for



                                      -1-



<PAGE>

               reportable interest and dividend accounts opened after 1983
               only), or

     5.        You do not certify your TIN.  See the Part III
               instructions below for exceptions.

Certain payees and payments are exempt from backup withholding
and information reporting.  See the Part II instructions below.

HOW TO GET A TIN.

If you do not have a TIN, apply for one immediately.  To apply,
get Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Number Card (for
individuals), from your local office of the Social Security
Administration, or Form SS-4, Application for Employer
Identification Number (for businesses and all other entities),
from your local IRS office.

If you do not have a TIN, write "Applied For" in the space for
the TIN in Part 2 of Substitute Form W-9, complete the
certification, sign and date the form (an "Awaiting TIN
Certification"), and give it to the Depositary.  Backup
withholding, if applicable, will begin 7 days after the
Depositary receives an Awaiting TIN Certification and will
continue until you furnish your TIN.  If within 60 days the
Depositary receives your TIN on a new IRS Form W-9 or copy of the
Substitute Form W-9 provided herewith, the Depositary will return
amounts withheld through the date such IRS Form W-9 or Substitute
Form W-9 is received.

NOTE:  Writing "Applied For" on the form means that you have
already applied for a TIN OR that you intend to apply for one
soon.

As soon as you receive your TIN, complete another Form W-9,
include your TIN, sign and date the form and give it to the
Depositary.

PENALTIES

FAILURE TO FURNISH TIN.
     If you fail to furnish your correct TIN to the Depositary,
     you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure
     unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not due
     to willful neglect.

CIVIL PENALTY FOR FALSE INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO WITHHOLDING.


                                      -2-



<PAGE>



     If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that
     results in no backup withholding, you are subject to a $500
     penalty.

CRIMINAL PENALTY FOR FALSIFYING INFORMATION.
     Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may
     subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or
     imprisonment.

MISUSE OF TINS.
     If either the Depositary or the Purchaser discloses or uses
     TINs in violation of Federal law, the Depositary or the
     Purchaser, as the case may be, may be subject to civil and
     criminal penalties.

must file information returns with the IRS to report interest,
dividends, and certain other income, paid to you, mortgage
interest you paid, the acquisition or abandonment of secured
