and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such

Item 4.   Description of Securities.

          This Registration Statement registers $30,000,000.00 of
Deferred Compensation Obligations of the Registrant (the
"Obligations"), which are to be offered to certain eligible
employees of the Registrant pursuant to the AMR Corporation 1987
Executive Deferral Plan (as amended through 1998) (the "Plan").

          The following description of the Obligations offered
hereby is qualified by reference to the text of the Plan.
Capitalized terms used in this Registration Statement and not
otherwise defined herein are defined in the Plan.

          Under the Plan, the Registrant will provide to eligible
employees ("Participants") of the Registrant and designated
subsidiaries the opportunity to defer a specified percentage or
dollar amount of their base salary and/or incentive compensation
and/or stock-based compensation.  The Obligations will be
unsecured general obligations of the Registrant to pay the
compensation deferred (the "Benefits") in accordance with the
terms of the Plan.  The rights of the employees to Benefits shall
be no greater than that of an unsecured general creditor, except
as otherwise provided by law.  To assist in the payment of
Benefits following a change in control or potential change in
control of the Registrant, the Registrant may establish a trust.

          The amount of compensation to be deferred by each
Participant (the "Deferral Amount") will be determined in
accordance with the Plan based on elections made by the
Participant.  The Deferral Amount, plus or minus any adjustments
thereto as described below, generally are payable as soon as is
administratively feasible following termination of employment or
retirement, or on a date selected by the Participant in
accordance with the terms of the Plan.  The Participant may elect
to receive the Deferral Amount, as adjusted, in a lump sum or in
a manner in accordance with the terms of the Plan.  The Deferral
Amount will be indexed to one or more investment choices chosen
by each Participant from a list of such choices.  The Plan is
unfunded, and amounts credited to Deferral Amounts are payable
out of the general funds of the Registrant and are subject to all
the risks of the Registrant's business.

          Benefits under the Plan are not subject to alienation,
sale, transfer, pledge, assignment, or other encumbrance or
attachment other than by will or laws of descent and
distribution.  A Participant may designate persons or entities to
receive his or her Deferral Amount, as adjusted, payable in the
event of death.

          The Obligations are not subject to redemption, in whole
or in part, prior to the Distribution Date specified by the
Participant, although the Obligations are payable as of the date

<PAGE> 4
of termination of the Plan.  No early withdrawal for hardship is
contemplated by the Plan, although exceptions may be made based
on a severe financial hardship.  Additionally, a Participant may,
upon 30 days' prior written notice, elect to receive all or a
portion of his or her account balance, in which case the
Participant will be paid promptly 90% of the portion of the
Account Balance the Participant has elected to receive, and the
remaining 10% will be canceled and the Registrant will have no
further obligation with respect thereto.  If the Participant
elects an immediate pay-out, the Participant may not make further
deferrals in this Plan for a period of two years thereafter.
The Registrant reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any
time, except that no such termination shall adversely affect any
Deferral Amount, as adjusted, prior to such termination.

Item 5.   Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

                 Charles D. MarLett has rendered an opinion as to
the legality of the Obligations issuable under the Plan and being
registered hereby.  Mr. MarLett is the Corporate Secretary of the
Registrant.

Item 6.   Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

          Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
(the "DGCL") permits a Delaware corporation to include a
provision in its Certificate of Incorporation, and the
Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation so provides, which
eliminates or limits the personal liability of a director to a
corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach
of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision may
not eliminate or limit the liability of a director: (i) for any
such of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith, or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law; (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, which makes directors
personally liable for unlawful dividends or unlawful stock
repurchases or redemptions; or (iv) for any transaction from
which the director derives an improper personal benefit.

          Under the DGCL and the Registrant's Certificate of
Incorporation, directors and officers may be indemnified against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement in connection with any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action
by or in the right of the corporation (a "derivative action")) if
they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Registrant
and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful.  In
derivative actions, indemnification extends only to expenses
(including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with defense
or settlement of such an action and, in the event such person
shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, only to
the extent that a proper court shall have determined that such
person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses.

          The Registrant's officers and directors are also
insured against claims arising out of the performance of their
duties in the aforementioned capacities.

24.1           Powers of Attorney

Item 9.   Undertakings.

          The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

          (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales
     are being made of the securities registered hereby, a post-
     effective amendment to this registration statement:

          (i)  To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
               the Securities Act of 1933;

          (i)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
               after the effective date of the registration statement (or the
               most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually
               or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
               information set forth in this registration statement;

          (i)  To include any material information with respect to the plan
               of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration
               statement or any material change to such information in this
               registration statement;

     provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in
     paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above do not apply if the
     information required to be included in a post-effective
     amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
     reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and
     Exchange Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13
     or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that
     are incorporated by reference in this registration
     statement.

          (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of
such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.

          (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-
effective amendment any of the securities being registered which
remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

<PAGE> 6
          The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, each filing of Registrants's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 that is incorporated by reference in this registration
statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of
such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.

          Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

                           SIGNATURES

          Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of
1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to
believe that it meets all of the requirement for filing on Form S-
8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on
its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the
City of Fort Worth, State of Texas, on this 7th day of January,
1999.

obligation with respect thereto.  If the Participant elects an
immediate pay-out pursuant to this Section 15.2, the Participant
may not make further Deferrals in this Plan for a period of two-
years thereafter.  The Participant is not eligible to make
further Deferrals in this Plan again if the Participant elects a
withdrawal pursuant to this Section 15.2 more than once.
Notwithstanding anything else in this Plan to the contrary, in

grounding, revocation of operating certificate, terrorism,
strike, lockout, labor dispute, work stoppage, fire, other act,
whether similar or dissimilar, beyond the control of the Company
(each a "Force Majeure Event"), which Force Majeure Event affects
the Company or its subsidiaries, the Board of Directors of the
Company, at its sole discretion, may (i) terminate this Section
15.2 or (ii) suspend, delay, defer or substitute (for such
period of time as the Board may deem necessary) any payments due
by operation of this Section 15.2.

                           Article 16

      16.1 The general administration of this Plan, as well as
construction and interpretation thereof, shall be vested in the
Committee.  The number of Committee members shall be established
by, and the members shall be appointed from time to time by, and
shall serve at the pleasure of, the Board of Directors of the
Employer; provided, however, that no member of the Committee
shall be allowed to participate in decisions regarding his own
eligibility or benefits under the Plan.
      16.2 Subject to the Plan, the Committee shall from time to
time establish rules, forms and procedures for the administration
of the Plan.  Except as otherwise expressly provided, the
Committee shall have the exclusive right to interpret the Plan
and to decide any and all matters arising thereunder.  The
Committee's decisions shall be conclusive and binding upon all
persons having or claiming to have any right or interest under
the Plan.

      16.3 The Committee may employ such consultants, advisors
and managers as it deems necessary or useful in carrying out its
duties.

      16.4 No member of the Committee shall be liable for any act
or omission on such Committee member's own part, excepting
willful misconduct.  The Employer shall indemnify and save
harmless each member of the Committee against any and all
expenses and liabilities arising out of membership on the
Committee, with the exception of expenses and liabilities arising
out of willful misconduct.

      16.5 To enable the Committee to perform its functions, the
Employer shall supply full and timely information to the
Committee on all matters relating to the compensation of all
Participants, their retirement, death or other cause for
termination of employment and such other pertinent facts as the
Committee may require.

<PAGE> 18
16.6  The Committee shall have the power, in its sole discretion,
to change the manner and time of payments to be made to a
Participant or Beneficiary from that set forth in the
Participant's Agreement.

      16.7 The Company reserves the right to amend this Plan as
it deems appropriate for future deferral years.

      16.8 Dispute Resolution Procedure:

           (a)  Notice of Denial of Claim.  When a Participant's
claim for benefits under this Plan has been denied, the Committee
shall provide notice to the Participant in writing of the denial
within 90 days after the submission of the claim.  The notice
shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the
applicant and shall include:

                (i)  the specific reason or reasons for denial;

               (ii) specific references to the pertinent Plan
      provisions on which the denial is based;

               (iii)     a description of any additional
      material or information necessary for the applicant to
      perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material
      or information is necessary; and

               (iv) an explanation of the Plan's claim review
      procedures.

If special circumstances require an extension of time for
processing the initial claim, a written notice of the extension
and the reason therefore shall be furnished to the claimant
before the end of the initial 90-day period.  In no event shall
this extension exceed 90 days.

           (b)  Appeal of Denied Claim.  In the event a claim for
benefits under the Plan is denied or if the applicant has had no
response to such claim within 90 days of its submission (in which
case the claim for benefits shall be deemed to have been denied),
the applicant or his duly authorized representative, at the
applicant's sole expense, may appeal the denial to his Employer
within 60 days of the receipt of written notice of the denial or
60 days from the date such claim is deemed to be denied.  In
pursuing such appeal the applicant or his duly authorized
representative:

                (i)  may request in writing that his Employer
review the denial;

                (ii) may review pertinent documents; and

                (iii)     may submit issues and comments in writing.

The decision on review shall be made within 60 days of receipt of
the request for review, unless special circumstances require an
extension of time for processing, in which case a decision shall
be rendered as soon as possible, but not later than 120 days
after receipt of the request for

<PAGE> 19
review.  If such an extension of time is required, written notice
of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant before the
end of the original 60-day period.  The decision on review shall
be made in writing, shall be written in a manner calculated to be
understood by the claimant, and shall include specific references
to the provisions of this Plan on which the denial is based.  If
the decision on review is not furnished within the time specified
above, the claim shall be denied on review

eligible employees of AMR Corporation in accordance with the
terms of the AMR Corporation 1987 Executive Deferral Plan (as
amended through 1998) (the "Plan").

           In so acting, I have examined the Plan and have
examined and relied upon the originals, or copies certified to my
satisfaction, of such records, documents or other instruments as
in my judgement are necessary or appropriate to enable me to
render the opinion set forth below.

           Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that the
Deferred Compensation Obligations have been duly authorized and,
when issued to eligible employees of AMR Corporation in
accordance with the Plan, will constitute the valid and legally
binding obligations of AMR Corporation, enforceable in accordance
with their terms, subject to or limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, or other
similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors
generally.

           I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement.

                               Very truly yours,

                               /s/ Charles D. MarLett

indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which
deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed
3
to be incorporated by reference in this registration statement
and to be a part hereof from the date of filing of such
documents.

Item 4.   Description of Securities.

          This Registration Statement registers $30,000,000.00 of
Deferred Compensation Obligations of the Registrant (the
"Obligations"), which are to be offered to certain eligible
employees of the Registrant pursuant to the AMR Corporation 1987
Executive Deferral Plan (as amended through 1998) (the "Plan").

          The following description of the Obligations offered
hereby is qualified by reference to the text of the Plan.
Capitalized terms used in this Registration Statement and not
otherwise defined herein are defined in the Plan.

          Under the Plan, the Registrant will provide to eligible
employees ("Participants") of the Registrant and designated
subsidiaries the opportunity to defer a specified percentage or
dollar amount of their base salary and/or incentive compensation
and/or stock-based compensation.  The Obligations will be
unsecured general obligations of the Registrant to pay the
compensation deferred (the "Benefits") in accordance with the
terms of the Plan.  The rights of the employees to Benefits shall
be no greater than that of an unsecured general creditor, except
as otherwise provided by law.  To assist in the payment of
Benefits following a change in control or potential change in
control of the Registrant, the Registrant may establish a trust.

          The amount of compensation to be deferred by each
Participant (the "Deferral Amount") will be determined in
accordance with the Plan based on elections made by the
Participant.  The Deferral Amount, plus or minus any adjustments
thereto as described below, generally are payable as soon as is
administratively feasible following termination of employment or
retirement, or on a date selected by the Participant in
accordance with the terms of the Plan.  The Participant may elect
to receive the Deferral Amount, as adjusted, in a lump sum or in
a manner in accordance with the terms of the Plan.  The Deferral
Amount will be indexed to one or more investment choices chosen
by each Participant from a list of such choices.  The Plan is
unfunded, and amounts credited to Deferral Amounts are payable
out of the general funds of the Registrant and are subject to all
the risks of the Registrant's business.

          Benefits under the Plan are not subject to alienation,
sale, transfer, pledge, assignment, or other encumbrance or
attachment other than by will or laws of descent and
distribution.  A Participant may designate persons or entities to
receive his or her Deferral Amount, as adjusted, payable in the
event of death.

          The Obligations are not subject to redemption, in whole
or in part, prior to the Distribution Date specified by the
Participant, although the Obligations are payable as of the date
4
of termination of the Plan.  No early withdrawal for hardship is
contemplated by the Plan, although exceptions may be made based
on a severe financial hardship.  Additionally, a Participant may,
upon 30 days' prior written notice, elect to receive all or a
portion of his or her account balance, in which case the
Participant will be paid promptly 90% of the portion of the
Account Balance the Participant has elected to receive, and the
remaining 10% will be canceled and the Registrant will have no
further obligation with respect thereto.  If the Participant
elects an immediate pay-out, the Participant may not make further
deferrals in this Plan for a period of two years thereafter.
The Registrant reserves the right to terminate the Plan at any
time, except that no such termination shall adversely affect any
Deferral Amount, as adjusted, prior to such termination.

Item 5.   Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

                 Charles D. MarLett has rendered an opinion as to
the legality of the Obligations issuable under the Plan and being
registered hereby.  Mr. MarLett is the Corporate Secretary of the
Registrant.

Item 6.   Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

          Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law
(the "DGCL") permits a Delaware corporation to include a
provision in its Certificate of Incorporation, and the
Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation so provides, which
eliminates or limits the personal liability of a director to a
corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach
of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision may
not eliminate or limit the liability of a director: (i) for any
such of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its
stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith, or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law; (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, which makes directors
personally liable for unlawful dividends or unlawful stock
repurchases or redemptions; or (iv) for any transaction from
which the director derives an improper personal benefit.

          Under the DGCL and the Registrant's Certificate of
Incorporation, directors and officers may be indemnified against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement in connection with any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action
by or in the right of the corporation (a "derivative action")) if
they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interest of the Registrant
and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful.  In
derivative actions, indemnification extends only to expenses
(including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with defense
or settlement of such an action and, in the event such person
shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, only to
the extent that a proper court shall have determined that such
person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such
expenses.

          The Registrant's officers and directors are also
insured against claims arising out of the performance of their
duties in the aforementioned capacities.

          Exhibit 5.1)

24.1           Powers of Attorney

Item 9.   Undertakings.

          The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

          (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales
     are being made of the securities registered hereby, a post-
     effective amendment to this registration statement:

          (i)  To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of
               the Securities Act of 1933;

          (i)  To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
               after the effective date of the registration statement (or the
               most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually
               or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
               information set forth in this registration statement;

          (i)  To include any material information with respect to the plan
               of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration
               statement or any material change to such information in this
               registration statement;

     provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in
     paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above do not apply if the
     information required to be included in a post-effective
     amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
     reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and
     Exchange Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13
     or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that
     are incorporated by reference in this registration
     statement.

          (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of
such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.

          (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-
effective amendment any of the securities being registered which
remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
6
          The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, each filing of Registrants's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 that is incorporated by reference in this registration
statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of
such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.

          Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising
under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

                           SIGNATURES

          Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of
1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to
believe that it meets all of the requirement for filing on Form S-
8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on
its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the
City of Fort Worth, State of Texas, on this 7th day of January,
1999.

immediate pay-out pursuant to this Section 15.2, the Participant
may not make further Deferrals in this Plan for a period of two-
years thereafter.  The Participant is not eligible to make
further Deferrals in this Plan again if the Participant elects a
withdrawal pursuant to this Section 15.2 more than once.

whether similar or dissimilar, beyond the control of the Company

                   Administration of the Plan

      16.1 The general administration of this Plan, as well as
construction and interpretation thereof, shall be vested in the
Committee.  The number of Committee members shall be established
by, and the members shall be appointed from time to time by, and
shall serve at the pleasure of, the Board of Directors of the
Employer; provided, however, that no member of the Committee
shall be allowed to participate in decisions regarding his own
eligibility or benefits under the Plan.
      16.2 Subject to the Plan, the Committee shall from time to
time establish rules, forms and procedures for the administration
of the Plan.  Except as otherwise expressly provided, the
Committee shall have the exclusive right to interpret the Plan
and to decide any and all matters arising thereunder.  The
Committee's decisions shall be conclusive and binding upon all
persons having or claiming to have any right or interest under
the Plan.

      16.3 The Committee may employ such consultants, advisors
and managers as it deems necessary or useful in carrying out its
duties.

      16.4 No member of the Committee shall be liable for any act
or omission on such Committee member's own part, excepting
willful misconduct.  The Employer shall indemnify and save
harmless each member of the Committee against any and all
expenses and liabilities arising out of membership on the
Committee, with the exception of expenses and liabilities arising
out of willful misconduct.

      16.5 To enable the Committee to perform its functions, the
Employer shall supply full and timely information to the
Committee on all matters relating to the compensation of all
Participants, their retirement, death or other cause for
termination of employment and such other pertinent facts as the
Committee may require.

16.6  The Committee shall have the power, in its sole discretion,
to change the manner and time of payments to be made to a
Participant or Beneficiary from that set forth in the
Participant's Agreement.

      16.7 The Company reserves the right to amend this Plan as
it deems appropriate for future deferral years.

      16.8 Dispute Resolution Procedure:

           (a)  Notice of Denial of Claim.  When a Participant's
claim for benefits under this Plan has been denied, the Committee
shall provide notice to the Participant in writing of the denial
within 90 days after the submission of the claim.  The notice
shall be written in a manner calculated to be understood by the
applicant and shall include:

                (i)  the specific reason or reasons for denial;

               (ii) specific references to the pertinent Plan
      provisions on which the denial is based;

               (iii)     a description of any additional
      material or information necessary for the applicant to
      perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material
      or information is necessary; and

               (iv) an explanation of the Plan's claim review
      procedures.

If special circumstances require an extension of time for
processing the initial claim, a written notice of the extension
and the reason therefore shall be furnished to the claimant
before the end of the initial 90-day period.  In no event shall
this extension exceed 90 days.

           (b)  Appeal of Denied Claim.  In the event a claim for
benefits under the Plan is denied or if the applicant has had no
response to such claim within 90 days of its submission (in which
case the claim for benefits shall be deemed to have been denied),
the applicant or his duly authorized representative, at the
applicant's sole expense, may appeal the denial to his Employer
within 60 days of the receipt of written notice of the denial or
60 days from the date such claim is deemed to be denied.  In
pursuing such appeal the applicant or his duly authorized
representative:

                (i)  may request in writing that his Employer
review the denial;

                (ii) may review pertinent documents; and

                (iii)     may submit issues and comments in writing.

The decision on review shall be made within 60 days of receipt of
the request for review, unless special circumstances require an
extension of time for processing, in which case a decision shall
be rendered as soon as possible, but not later than 120 days
after receipt of the request for
19
review.  If such an extension of time is required, written notice
of the extension shall be furnished to the claimant before the
end of the original 60-day period.  The decision on review shall
be made in writing, shall be written in a manner calculated to be
understood by the claimant, and shall include specific references
to the provisions of this Plan on which the denial is based.  If
the decision on review is not furnished within the time specified
above, the claim shall be denied on review

                           Article 17
                          Miscellaneous

administrators.

       to the AMR Corporation 1987 Executive Deferral Plan
                    (as amended through 1998)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

           I am Corporate Secretary of AMR Corporation, a
Delaware corporation, and as such I am delivering this opinion to
you in connection with the preparation and filing with the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the
"Registration Statement") relating to $30,000,000.00 of unsecured
obligations (the "Deferred Compensation Obligations") of AMR
Corporation, to pay deferred compensation in the future to
eligible employees of AMR Corporation in accordance with the
terms of the AMR Corporation 1987 Executive Deferral Plan (as
amended through 1998) (the "Plan").

           In so acting, I have examined the Plan and have
examined and relied upon the originals, or copies certified to my
satisfaction, of such records, documents or other instruments as
in my judgement are necessary or appropriate to enable me to
render the opinion set forth below.

           Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that the
Deferred Compensation Obligations have been duly authorized and,
when issued to eligible employees of AMR Corporation in
accordance with the Plan, will constitute the valid and legally
binding obligations of AMR Corporation, enforceable in accordance
with their terms, subject to or limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, or other
similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors
generally.

           I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement.

                               Very truly yours,

                               /s/ Charles D. MarLett

                 CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Registration Statement (Form S-8) pertaining to the AMR
Corporation 1987 Executive Deferral Plan (as amended through
1998), of our report dated January 19, 1998, except for Note 8,
