                              PART II

         INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

 ITEM 3.   INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.

           The  following  documents  are  hereby  incorporated  by
 reference in this Registration Statement:

           (a)  The  latest annual  report filed  by  The Travelers
 Inc.  (formerly Primerica  Corporation, the "Registrant") pursuant
 to Section 13(a) or  15(d) of the Securities Exchange  Act of 1934
 (the "Exchange Act")  or the Registrant's latest prospectus  filed
 pursuant to  Rule 424(b)  under the  Securities Act  of 1933  that
 contains,  either  directly  or  by  incorporation  by  reference,
 audited  financial statements  for the  Registrant's latest fiscal
 year for which such statements have been filed.

           (b)  All other reports  filed pursuant to Section  13(a)
 or 15(d)  of the  Exchange Act since  the end  of the  fiscal year
 covered by the annual report or the prospectus referred to  in (a)
 above.

           (c)  The  description of  the Registrant's  Common Stock
 contained in  the Registrant's registration  statement filed under
 the Exchange Act, including any amendment or report  filed for the
 purpose of updating such description.

           All  documents  subsequently  filed  by  the  Registrant
 pursuant to  Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14  and 15(d) of the  Exchange
 Act,  prior  to  the filing  of  a post-effective  amendment which
 indicates that  all securities  offered hereby  have been  sold or
 which registers  all securities  then remaining  unsold, shall  be
 deemed to  be incorporated by  reference herein  and to be  a part
 hereof from the date of the filing of such documents.

 ITEM 4.   DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

           Not applicable.

 ITEM 5.   INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
                                                  
           Not applicable.
  
 ITEM 6.   INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

           Pursuant to Section  145 of the General Corporation  Law
 of  the  State  of  Delaware  (the  "DGCL"),   a  corporation  may
 indemnify  a  director   or  officer  against  certain   expenses,
 judgments, fines, and amounts  paid in settlement  incurred by him
 in   connection  with   the   defense   of  a   civil,   criminal,
 administrative or  investigative proceeding to  which he has  been
 made, or  threatened to  be made, a  party by  reason of  the fact
 that  he  was a  director or  officer.   In  general, Section  145
 permits indemnification where  a director or officer acted in good
 faith and  in a  manner he reasonably  believed to  be in,  or not
 opposed  to, the  best  interests of  the  corporation.   In  some
 cases,  indemnification may  be  made  only with  court  approval.
 Section 3 of  Article V of the Registrant's By-laws  provides that
 the  Registrant shall indemnify  its directors and officers to the
 fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

                                -2-



<PAGE>





           Section   102(b)(7)  of   the  DGCL   provides   that  a
 corporation's   certificate  of   incorporation  may   contain   a
 provision  eliminating  or limiting  the personal  liability  of a
 director  to  the corporation  or  its  stockholders for  monetary
 damages for  breaches of  fiduciary duty as  a director,  provided
 that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the  liability of
 a  director (i) for  any breach of the  director's duty of loyalty
 to  the  corporation   or  its  stockholders,  (ii)  for  acts  or
 omissions   not  in  good   faith  or  which  involve  intentional
 misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under  Section 174
 of the  DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction  from which the director
 derived an  improper personal  benefit.   Article Eleventh  of the
 Registrant's Certificate of  Incorporation limits the liability of
 directors to the fullest extent permitted by Section 102(b)(7).

           The Registrant  also  provides  liability insurance  for
 its directors and officers, which insurance provides  for coverage
 against loss from claims  made against directors  and officers  in
 their  capacity as  such, including certain  liabilities under the
 Securities  Act  of  1933,  as  amended.   In  certain  employment
 agreements,  the Registrant  or its subsidiaries  have also agreed
 to  indemnify  certain  officers  against loss  from  claims  made
 against such officers in connection with the  performance of their
 duties under  their employment  agreements.  Such  indemnification
 is  generally to  the same extent as  provided in the Registrant's
 By-laws.


 ITEM 7.   EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

           Not applicable.

 ITEM 8.   EXHIBITS.

           See Exhibit Index attached hereto.  

           The  Registrant undertakes  to submit  the plan  and any
 amendment thereto  to the Internal  Revenue Service (the "IRS") in
 a  timely manner  and the  Registrant has  made or  will make  all
 changes required by the IRS in order to qualify the plan.

 ITEM 9.   UNDERTAKINGS.

           (a)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

                (1)  To file, during any period in which  offers or
 sales   are  being  made,   a  post-effective  amendment  to  this
 registration statement:

                     (i)  To  include  any prospectus  required  by
 Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

                     (ii) To reflect  in the  prospectus any  facts
 or events  arising after the  effective date  of the  registration
 statement (or  the most recent  post-effective amendment  thereof)
 which, individually or  in the aggregate, represent a  fundamental
 change  in   the  information  set   forth  in  the   registration
 statement;

                     (iii)  To  include  any  material  information
 with  respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
 in the  registration statement  or  any  material change


                                -3-



<PAGE>



 to  such information in the registration statement; 

 provided,  however, that  paragraphs  (a)(1)(i) and  (a)(1)(ii) do
 not  apply if the information  required to be included  in a post-
 effective amendment by  those paragraphs is contained in  periodic
 reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section  13 or Section
 15(d)   of  the   Securities  Exchange   Act  of  1934   that  are
 incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

                (2)  That,  for  the  purpose  of  determining  any
 liability  under the  Securities  Act  of 1933,  each  such  post-
 effective  amendment  shall  be deemed  to  be a  new registration
 statement  relating to  the securities  offered  therein, and  the
 offering  of such securities  at that time  shall be  deemed to be
 the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

                (3)  To remove  from  registration  by means  of  a
 post-effective amendment  any of  the securities being  registered
 which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

           (b)  The undersigned registrant hereby  undertakes that,
 for purposes  of determining  any liability  under the  Securities
 Act of  1933,  each  filing  of  the  registrant's  annual  report
 pursuant  to Section  13(a)  or Section  15(d) of  the  Securities
 Exchange Act  of 1934 (and,  where applicable,  each filing of  an
 employee benefit  plan's annual report  pursuant to Section  15(d)
 of the  Securities Exchange Act of  1934) that is incorporated  by
 reference in  the registration statement shall  be deemed to be  a
 new  registration  statement  relating to  the  securities offered
 therein, and  the offering of such  securities at that time  shall
 be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

           (c)  Insofar as indemnification for  liabilities arising
 under the  Securities Act of 1933  may be permitted to  directors,
 officers and  controlling persons  of the  registrant pursuant  to
 the foregoing  provisions, or otherwise,  the registrant has  been
 advised  that in  the  opinion  of  the  Securities  and  Exchange
 Commission  such  indemnification  is  against  public  policy  as
 expressed in  the Act and  is, therefore,  unenforceable.  In  the
 event that  a claim for  indemnification against such  liabilities
 (other than the payment by the registrant of  expenses incurred or
 paid  by  a  director,  officer  or  controlling   person  of  the
 registrant  in  the successful  defense  of  any action,  suit  or
 proceeding) is asserted  by such director, officer or  controlling
 person in  connection with  the securities  being registered,  the
 registrant will, unless  in the opinion of its counsel  the matter
 has been  settled by controlling precedent,  submit to a court  of
 appropriate    jurisdiction    the    question     whether    such
 indemnification by it  is against  public policy  as expressed  in
 the  Act and will  be governed by  the final  adjudication of such
 issue.

 The Travelers Inc.
 65 East 55th Street
 New York, NY  10022

 Ladies and Gentlemen:

    I am Deputy General Counsel to The Travelers Inc., a Delaware
 corporation (the "Company"). I have acted as counsel to the
 Company in connection with the preparation and filing of a
 Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement")
 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the
 registration of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value 
 (the "Shares"), of the Company relating to The Travelers Inc. Savings, 
 Investment and Stock Ownership Plan (the "Plan"), and interests in the Plan.

    In connection with the foregoing, I have examined the minute
 books and stock records of the Company, the Certificate of
 Incorporation and By-Laws of the Company, the Registration
 Statement, and resolutions duly adopted by the Board of Directors
 of the Company relating to the Plan.  In addition, I have
 reviewed such other documents and instruments and have conferred
 with various officers and directors of the Company and have
 ascertained or verified to my satisfaction such additional facts
 as I have deemed necessary or appropriate for the purposes of
 this opinion.  In my examination I have assumed the legal
 capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all
 signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as
 originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents
 submitted to me as certified, photostatic or facsimile copies and
 authenticity of the originals of such latter documents.    

    Based upon the foregoing I am of the opinion that the Shares
 to be issued under the Plan have been duly authorized and, when
 issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Plan,
 will be legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

    I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit
 to the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, I do not 
 thereby admit that I come within the category of persons whose 
 consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, 
 as amended, or the rules and regulations of the Securities and 
 Exchange Commission thereunder.

    This opinion is solely for your benefit in connection with the
 Company's offer and sale of the Shares, and is not to be used, 
 circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other purpose 
 without my express written permission.

                                    Very truly yours,

                                    /s/ Mark J. Amrhein
