post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have

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.
Subsection (a) of Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
("DGCL") empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or
is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the
fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent
2
<PAGE>
of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted
in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Subsection (b) of DGCL Section 145 empowers a corporation to indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action, or suit by or in the right of the
corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such
person acted in any of the capacities set forth above, against expenses
(including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in
good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification may be made in
respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been
adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the
Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall
determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in
view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such
other court shall deem proper.
Other subsections of Section 145 further provide that to the extent a
director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or
otherwise in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in
subsections (a) and (b) of Section 145, or in defense of any claim, issue or
matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys'
fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith; that
indemnification provided for by Section 145 shall not be deemed exclusive of any
other rights to which the indemnified party may be entitled; that
indemnification provided for by Section 145 shall, unless otherwise provided
when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a
director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of such
person's heirs, executors and administrators; and empowers the corporation to
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a director or officer of the
corporation against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in
any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the
corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liabilities under
Section 145. 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.
3
<PAGE>
The Registrant also provides liability insurance for its directors and
officers which provides for coverage against loss from claims made against
directors and officers in their capacity as such, including 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.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL provides that a 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 breach
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 TENTH of the
Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of
directors to the fullest extent permitted by Section 102(b)(7).
ITEM 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.
Not applicable.
ITEM 8. EXHIBITS.
See Exhibit Index attached hereto.
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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not
exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of
the estimated maximum
4
<PAGE>
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume
and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the
effective 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 to such information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply
if the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Securities and Exchange Commission 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
5
<PAGE>
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.

December 10, 1997
Travelers Group Inc.
388 Greenwich Street
New York, NY 10013
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am Deputy General Counsel and Assistant Secretary of Travelers Group
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 2,150,000 shares of common stock, $.01
per share par value (the "Shares"), of the Company relating to the Smith Barney
Asset Gathering Bonus Plan, the Smith Barney Restricted Stock Bonus Plan for FC
Trainees and the Smith Barney Branch Manager Asset Deferred Bonus Plan (the
"Plans").
In connection with the foregoing, I or attorneys under my supervision have
examined the minute books and stock records of the Company, the Restated
Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Company, the Registration
Statement, the Plans and resolutions duly adopted by the Board of Directors of
the Company relating to the Plans. In addition, I or attorneys under my
supervision 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 such
examination, I have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the
genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted as
originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted as
certified, photostatic or facsimile copies, and the 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 Plans have been duly authorized and, when issued and delivered in
accordance with the terms of the Plans, will be legally issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.
My opinion is limited to matters governed by the Federal laws of the
United States of America and the General Corporation Law of the state of
Delaware. I am not admitted to the practice of law in the state of Delaware.
11

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.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Stephanie B. Mudick
