SCHEDULE 13D
AMENDMENT NO. 1
This Amendment No. 1 to the Statement on Schedule 13D, dated October 29,
1997 (the "Schedule 13D"), of Travelers Group Inc. is being filed with
respect to the Common Stock, no par value (the "Common Stock"), of ARV

used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in
the Schedule 13D.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a) and (b) This item as set forth in the Schedule 13D is deleted
and the following is inserted in its place:
"As of April 17, 1998, TRV may be deemed to beneficially own,
through its subsidiaries, 664,782 shares of Common Stock, assuming conversion
of 12,345,000 6.75% Convertible Notes due 4/1/06 (the "Convertible Notes"),
which represents 4.0% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (based on
16,515,780 shares of Common Stock outstanding, which is the sum of the
15,850,998 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 7, 1998, as
reported in the Issuer's Proxy Statement filed on April 21, 1998, and the
664,782 shares that would be issued upon conversion of the Convertible
Notes). As TRV no longer owns 5% or more of the Common Stock, this Schedule
13D is hereby terminated."
