       RMS Limited Partnership, a Nevada limited partnership ("RMS"), Crystal
Diamond, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and Roy M. Speer hereby amend their
Schedule 13D as filed on March 20, 1995, and as amended by amendment no. 1 filed
on April 20, 1995 and amendment no. 2 filed on December 23, 1998 (as amended
the "Schedule 13D") with respect to the Common Stock, par value $.01 per share,
of The National Registry Inc., a Delaware corporation ("NRI").

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

       The Schedule 13D is amended by adding the following to the end of Item 4:

       On June 25, 1999, RMS, Forstmann and Santangelo entered into the First
Amended and Restated Stockholders' Voting Agreement (the "First Amended and
Restated Voting Agreement") which amended and restated the Voting Agreement
in its entirety. Under the First Amended and Restated Voting Agreement,
Forstmann and Santangelo agreed to vote in tandem with and in like manner as
and as directed by RMS for the election of directors of NRI and on all other
matters which may be presented to the stockholders of NRI. In addition, for so
long as Forstmann beneficially owns at least two percent (2%) of the Common
Stock, Forstmann shall be entitled to designate one nominee reasonably
acceptable to RMS to the Board of Directors of NRI and RMS is required to vote
all the NRI voting securities beneficially owned by RMS in favor of such
nominee.

       The First Amended and Restated Voting Agreement will terminate upon the
consummation of (a) the sale of greater than fifty percent (50%) of the Common
Stock to a person other than RMS, Forstmann or Santangelo, (b) the sale of
substantially all the assets of NRI to a person in which RMS does not
benefically own fifty percent (50%) or greater of the voting securities of such
person, or (c) the merger of NRI and another person not an affiliate of NRI and
in which RMS does not beneficially own twenty-five percent (25%) or greater of
the voting securities of such person. In addition, in the event that RMS,
Forstmann or Santangelo ceases to beneficially hold in the aggregate fifty
percent (50%) of the total amount of Common Stock owned by each person (as the
case may be) as of June 25, 1999, the First Amended and Restated Voting
Agreement terminates with respect to such person. The First Amended and
Restated Voting Agreement similarly terminates if only one stockholder remains
a party to the First Amended and Restated Voting Agreement due to the operation
of the provision described in the previous sentence.

       The description of the First Amended and Restated Stockholders' Voting
Agreement contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
complete text of such agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and incorporated
herein by reference.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

       The Schedule 13D is amended by adding the following to the end of Item
5:

       On June 25, 1999, RMS, Forstmann and Santangelo entered into the First
Amended and Restated Voting Agreement which amended and restated the Voting
Agreement in its entirety. The execution of the First Amended and Restated
Voting Agreement does not alter the description of deemed beneficial ownership
described in paragraph (a) of this Item 5.

2.       Director Designee.

                 (a)  RMS hereby agrees to  vote the Voting Shares (as
hereinafter defined) in favor of one nominee selected by Forstmann ("Director
Designee"), and reasonably acceptable to RMS, for election to the board of
directors of NRI.

                 (b)  If at any time Forstmann shall notify RMS of his desire
to have his Director Designee removed, RMS shall vote all of the Voting Shares
for the removal of such Director Designee and shall undertake all other
reasonable actions, at Forstmann's expense, permitted under applicable law for
the removal of such Director Designee.

                 (c) In the event that the Director Designee ceases to serve
for any reason whatsoever, RMS shall vote all of the Voting Shares for the
election of a new Director Designee and shall undertake all other reasonable
actions, at Forstmann's expense, permitted under applicable law for the
election of such Director Designee.

3.       Termination.

                 (a) In the event that Forstmann or his Affiliates cease to
hold, in aggregate, at least 2% (two percent) of the issued and outstanding
Common Stock, then Section 2 herein shall cease to apply and the Shareholders
and their respective Affiliates shall be released from any obligations
thereunder.

                 (b) In the event that (i) more than 50% (fifty percent) of the
issued and outstanding Common Stock is sold to any Person or "group", as such
term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, other
than any of the Shareholders, (ii) NRI sells substantially all of its assets to
any Person, other than to an Affiliate, and RMS and its Affiliates hold less

merges with any Person, other than with an Affiliate, and RMS and its
Affiliates hold in the aggregate less than 25% (twenty five percent) of the
voting interest of such Person, then in each case this Agreement shall
terminate as of the date of consummation of any such transaction.

                 (c) In the event that any Shareholder ceases to hold at least
50% (fifty percent) of the Common Stock (including any Common Stock which may
be received upon conversion or exchange of any other security of NRI) that such
Shareholder holds on the date hereof, then this Agreement shall terminate with
respect to such Shareholder and such Shareholder shall be released from all
obligations hereunder. If, by the operation of the this Section 3(c), only one
Shareholder shall be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, then
this Agreement shall terminate as of such date.

14.      Specific Performance.  Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that
money damages would be both incalculable and an insufficient remedy for any
breach of this Agreement by a party hereto and that any such breach would cause
the other party hereto irreparable harm.  Accordingly, each party hereto agrees
that in the event of any actual or threatened beach of this Agreement by any
party hereto, the other parties hereto shall be entitled to specific
performance.   Such remedy shall not be the exclusive remedy for any breach of
this Agreement, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law
or equity to such party.

15.       Interpretation of Agreement.  This Agreement shall be construed in
its entirety, with no emphasis or meaning being given to the headings or
captions utilized in this Agreement or the placement of the various provisions.

16.       Definitions.  The following capitalized terms shall have the meanings
set forth below:

                 (a)      "Affiliate" means, with respect to any specified
Person, (i) any other Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled
by or under direct or indirect common control with such specified Person or
(ii) any other Person that owns, directly or indirectly, 5% or more of such
specified Person's voting stock or any executive officer or director of any
such specified Person or other Person or, with respect to any natural Person,
any Person having a relationship with such Person by blood, marriage or
adoption not more remote than first cousin. For the purposes of this
definition, "control," when used with respect to any specified Person, means
the power to direct the management and policies of such Person, directly or
indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or
otherwise; and the terms "controlling" and "controlled" have meanings
correlative to the foregoing.  For purposes of this Agreement, no Shareholder
shall be deemed to be an Affiliate of any other Shareholder.

                 (b)      "Person" means any individual, corporation, limited
liability company, partnership, joint venture, association, trust, or
unincorporated organization.

                 (c)      "Voting Shares" shall mean shares of NRI's Common
Stock, Options, Preferred Stock or any other voting securities of NRI held on
or after the Effective Date by any Shareholder or its Affiliate, plus all
voting securities hereinafter attributable to such shares or received or
receivable in respect thereof by way of stock splits or stock dividends,
recapitalization or liquidation of the NRI or merger or consolidation of the
NRI with any other corporation or organization.

17.      Assignment.  RMS may assign the terms and conditions of this Agreement
to any Affiliate that holds Voting Shares.
