the securities of other investment companies to the extent permitted by law;
however, pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the SEC, a Portfolio may
invest up to 25% of its total assets in the aggregate of the Money Market
Portfolio, Municipal Money Market Portfolio, and U.S. Government Money Market

The last paragraph on page 9 is changed to read as follows:
As compensation for their service to the Trust and the AMR Trust, the
Independent Trustees and their spouses receive free air travel from American
Airlines, Inc., an affiliate of the Manager. The Trust and the AMR Trust pay
American Airlines the flight service charges incurred for these travel
arrangements. The Trust and the AMR Trust compensate each Trustee with
payments in an amount equal to the Trustees' income tax on the value of this
free airline travel. Mr. O'Sullivan, as a retiree of American Airlines, Inc.,
already receives flight benefits. The Trusts compensate Mr. O'Sullivan up to
$10,000 annually to cover his personal flight service charges and the charges
for his three adult children, as well as any income tax charged on the value of
these flight benefits. Trustees are also reimbursed for any expenses incurred
in attending Board meetings. These amounts (excluding reimbursements) are
reflected in the following table for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1998.
The compensation amounts below include the flight service charges paid by the
Trust and the AMR Trust to American Airlines.
