--------------------
This statement on Schedule 13D is being filed with respect to shares of
Common Stock, $.01 par value each (the "Common Stock"), of Financial Security
Assurance Holdings Ltd., a New York corporation (the "Issuer"), which has its
principal executive office at 350 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10022.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
------------------------
This statement on Schedule 13D is being filed by Salomon Brothers
Holding Company Inc ("SBHC"), Salomon Smith Barney Holdings Inc. ("SSBH") and
Citigroup Inc. ("Citigroup") (together, the "Reporting Persons").
(a), (b), (c) and (f) SBHC, a Delaware corporation, is a swap dealer
that deals in swaps and certain OTC instruments, engages in lending and holds
certain investments. The address of its principal business office is 388
Greenwich Street, New York, NY 10013.
SSBH is a Delaware corporation and is the sole stockholder of SBHC. SSBH
engages in no direct activities. The address of its principal business office is

Citigroup is a Delaware corporation and is the sole stockholder of SSBH.
The principal executive offices of Citigroup are located, and the principal
business is conducted, at 153 East 53rd Street, New York, NY 10043. Citigroup is
a diversified holding company whose businesses provide a broad range of
financial services to consumer and corporate customers around the world.
Citigroup's activities are conducted through its Global Consumer, Global

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
--------------------------------------------------
The source of funds for the purchases of the Common Stock and US West
DECS (as defined in Item 4 below) was working capital of SBHC and the other
Citigroup subsidiaries that purchased the subject securities.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
-----------------------
Substantially all of the shares reported herein as beneficially owned by
the Reporting Persons were acquired in connection with the transactions
described in the second through fourth paragraphs of this Item 4. 437,266 shares
of Common Stock reported herein as beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons
were purchased by various indirect subsidiaries of Citigroup for investment
purposes, for third party accounts or by mutual funds managed by Citigroup's
subsidiaries.
In May 1996, US West, Inc. (now known as MediaOne Group, Inc. ("US
West")) issued to SBHC in a private placement 9,546,303 units of debt
exchangeable for common stock of the Issuer ("US West DECS"). The US West DECS
matured on May 15, 1999.
At the same time that US West issued the US West DECS to SBHC, SSBH
issued 9,546,303 units of debt exchangeable for common stock of the Issuer
("SSBH DECS") in a public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933.
The terms and conditions of the SSBH DECS were substantially identical to those
of the US West DECS.
On May 10, 1999, pursuant to the terms of the US West DECS, SBHC
received the right to acquire 7,825,104 shares of Common Stock on May 15, 1999
upon maturity of the US West DECS. On that same date, SSBH became obligated to
deliver 7,825,104 shares of Common Stock on May 15, 1999 upon maturity of the
SSBH DECS. Of such shares, SSBH delivered 5,240,739 shares of Common Stock to
non-affiliates and the remaining 2,584,365 shares were delivered to Salomon
Smith Barney Inc., an indirect subsidiary of SSBH that held SSBH DECS on May 15.
The subsidiaries of Citigroup review their respective holdings of Issuer
securities on a continuing basis. Depending on such evaluations of the Issuer's
business and prospects, and upon future developments (including, but not limited
to, market prices of the Common Stock, and availability and alternative uses of
funds, as well as conditions in the securities markets and general economic and
industry conditions), each Citigroup subsidiary may acquire other securities of
the Issuer (except in contravention of Rule 13d-1(e)(2)) or sell all or a
portion of its Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer, now owned or
hereafter acquired. Except as otherwise described herein, the Reporting Persons,
and to the best knowledge of any of the Reporting Persons, any person identified
on Annexes A or B hereto, do not have any plans or proposals relating to or
which would result in any of the transactions described in Items 4 (a)-(j) of
Schedule 13D.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
-------------------------------------
(a) and (b) As of May 10, 1999, SBHC may be deemed to beneficially own
8,060,060 shares of Common Stock, which includes 7,825,104 shares that SBHC had
the right to acquire on May 15, 1999 upon settlement of the US West DECS,
representing 25.6% of the outstanding shares of such class (based on 31,533,781
shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 30, 1999, as reported in the
Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 1999);
SSBH and Citigroup may each be deemed to beneficially own 8,262,370 shares of
Common Stock, which also includes the 7,825,104 shares that SBHC had the right
to acquire on May 15, 1999 upon settlement of the US West DECS, representing
26.2% of the outstanding shares of such class (based on 31,533,781 shares of
Common Stock outstanding as of April 30, 1999). In addition, 2,584,464 shares of
Common Stock have been borrowed by one or more of subsidiaries of Citigroup in
connection with short sale transactions incident to certain market-making
activities.
The Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owners of more than
5% of the Common Stock upon settlement of the US West and SSBH DECS on May 15,
1999. According, this Schedule 13D is hereby terminated.
Except as set forth or incorporated by reference herein, none of the
Reporting Persons or, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, the
persons listed in Annexes A and B hereto, beneficially own any Common Stock.
(c), (d) and (e) Not Applicable.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Securities of the Issuer.
-------------------------
None of Citigroup or, to the best knowledge of Citigroup, the persons
listed in Annex A or B hereto, has any contracts, arrangements, understandings
or relationships (legal or otherwise) with any person with respect to securities
of the Issuer.
