Item 2.   Disposition of Assets

On March 14, 1994 the travel management business operated  by USTravel Systems
Inc. ("USTravel"), an 85% owned subsidiary of PS Group, Inc.  ("PSG") was sold
to MTH  Acquisition Corp. (the "Travel Business Sale").  MTH Acquisition Corp.
is  controlled  by  Murrary   T.  Holland.    The  Travel  Business  Sale  was
accomplished  through the  sale  of  the assets  of  USTravel  and various  of
USTravel's wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Travel Business Assets").

The Travel Business  Assets were sold  for a total  cash consideration of  $43
million subject to certain post-closing adjustments.  Minority stockholders of
USTravel  received $3  million  of  the  purchase  price,  and  under  certain
conditions, may receive  an additional $400,000.   Proceeds to be received  by
USTravel for the portion of the  Travel Business Assets attributable to PSG on
a  consolidated  basis  is expected  to  be approximately  $40  million.   The
principle followed in determining  the amount of consideration for  the Travel
Business  Assets was the negotiation of the  purchase price with the purchaser
in an arms length transaction.
