NEWS RELEASE

For Release:


                  RICHARD DANIEL TO JOIN BANKERS TRUST AS CFO

          New York, January 11, 1996 -- Richard H. Daniel, who has been chief
     financial officer of Freddie Mac, will join Bankers Trust New York
     Corporation and Bankers Trust Company as chief financial officer, it was
     announced today by Frank N. Newman, president and chief executive officer
     of Bankers Trust.

          Mr. Daniel will have responsibility for Bankers Trust's financial
     functions, reporting to Mr. Newman. He will be a member of Bankers Trust's
     Operating Committee and serve as vice chairman of the Asset and Liability
     Committee.

          "Dick Daniel will bring experience and judgment to Bankers Trust that
     will benefit our clients and shareholders and will be a great addition to
     our senior management team. I am delighted that he will once again be my
     colleague," said Mr. Newman, who worked with Mr. Daniel at both BankAmerica
     and Wells Fargo.

          Mr. Daniel will assume his new responsibilities in early February.
     Timothy T. Yates, who announced in June of last year his plans to retire as
     Bankers Trust's chief financial officer, will assist Mr. Daniel during a
     transition period. "We are sorry to see Tim leave the firm, but are
     fortunate to have someone of Dick's caliber as Tim's replacement," Mr.
     Newman said.

          "Bankers Trust is indeed fortunate that its chief financial officer
     responsibilities will continue to be in exceptionally competent hands,"
     said Bankers Trust Chairman Charles S. Sanford, Jr. "Dick Daniel, like Tim
     Yates, has earned the respect of the financial community for his record as
     an astute and innovative financial executive. We are grateful for Tim's 24
     years of dedicated service to Bankers Trust."

          Mr. Daniel has been chief financial officer of Freddie Mac since June
     of 1994, responsible for the firm's control, financial research,
     shareholder relations and corporate finance departments, as well as for
     asset and liability strategy for Freddie Mac's $520 billion mortgage
     business.
