Dear Sirs:

        Re:  General Motors Corporation Registration Statement on Form S-8
             for the General Motors Personal Savings Plan for Hourly-Rate
             Employees in the United States (the "Plan")

      In connection  with the  registration  of interests in respect of the Plan
and of  14,000,000  shares of  General  Motors  $1-2/3 par value  common  stock,
pursuant to that Plan, an electronic  transfer of the filing fee of  $257,236.88
was  made  to  the  U.S.  Treasury  designated  lockbox  depository  located  in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

      The aggregate  offering price and the amount of the  registration fee have
been based on a price of $66.09 per share, which was the average of the high and
low  prices of  General  Motors  $1-2/3 par value  common  stock,  traded on the
Composite Tape on October 26, 1999.

      All Securities Exchange Act of 1934 reports required to be filed have been
filed and are complete.

      If you have any questions, please call Kelly Francis at (313) 667-7598.
