               3.  The Plan

               (a)  Amount Beneficially Owned.  At December 31, 1993, the Plan
               was deemed to own 17,459,706 shares.  The Plan has no other
               rights to acquire additional shares through the exercise of
               options or otherwise.

               (b)  Percent of Class:  6.0%

               (c)  Number of shares as to which the Plan has:

                  (i)   Sole power to vote or direct the vote:  0

                  (ii)  Shared power to vote or direct the vote:  17,459,706
                        
                  (iii) Sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of:
                        0

                  (iv)  Shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of:
                        17,459,706

               The Plan was created by Norwest Corporation (the "Issuer") for
               the exclusive benefit of those of its employees who elect to
               participate in the Plan.  At December 31, 1993, the Plan (the
               "Trust") held, for the benefit of participants in the Plan,
               17,459,706 shares, representing 6.0% of the outstanding common
               stock of the Issuer.  NBM, a subsidiary of the Issuer, is the co-
               trustee of the trust that holds the assets of the Plan (the
               "Trust") 


               In April 1989, the Plan was amended and became an employee stock
               ownership plan (ESOP).  Prior to January 1, 1992, shares were
               allocated to a participant's account in one of two ways:  (i)
               participant contributions were matched one-half in common stock
               of the Issuer and one-half in other investment options offered by
               the Plan (including common stock of the Issuer), and (ii)
               participants 

                                       8

<PAGE>

               could choose to invest directly in common stock of the Issuer. 
               Because the Plan includes an ESOP feature, the Trust holds both
               shares of common stock of the Issuer that have been allocated to
               participants' accounts ("Allocated Shares") and additional shares
               that have been purchased and are being held in the Trust, but
               have not been allocated to participants' accounts ("Unallocated
               Shares").  Allocated Shares and Unallocated Shares are voted as
               follows:  (i) the trustee determines the aggregate number of
               Allocated Shares and Unallocated Shares, (ii) the Issuer
               determines the number of Allocated Shares in each participant's
               account, (iii) proxy cards are sent to participants soliciting
               their vote, and (iv) the trustee votes Allocated Shares and
               Unallocated Shares as a block in proportion to the votes received
               from participants.  For purposes of this statement on Schedule
               13G, both Allocated Shares and Unallocated Shares are reported as
               shared investment authority and shared voting authority because
               of the Issuer's role in the administration of the Plan.

               The persons filing disclaim beneficial ownership of, and the
               filing of this statement shall not be construed as an admission
               that the person filing is the beneficial owner of the shares
               covered by this statement for purposes of Sections 13, 14, or 16
               of the Act.

Item 5         Ownership of Five Percent or Less of Class:
- ------         ------------------------------------------ 

               Not Applicable

Item 6         Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person:
- ------         ---------------------------------------------------------------

               Shares covered by this statement are held in a fiduciary or
               representative capacity.  Accordingly, persons other than Norwest
               Corporation and its subsidiaries have a right to receive or the
               power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds
               from the sale of, such shares.
