shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Icahn Group's prior
statements on Schedule 13D.

Item 2.   Identity and Background

          Item 2 is hereby amended to add the following:

          The principal business address and the address of the principal
office of each of Carl C. Icahn and Mark H. Rachesky is c/o Icahn
Associates Corp., 114 W. 47th Street, l9th Floor, New York, NY  10036.

     
Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

          Item 3 is hereby amended to add the following:

          The aggregate purchase price of the 377,716 depositary units

Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction

          Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

          Registrants have acquired the Depositary Units for investment
purposes.  Registrants may acquire additional Depositary Units as they deem
appropriate, whether in open market purchases, privately negotiated
transactions or otherwise.  Registrants also reserve the right to dispose
of some or all of their Depositary Units in the open market, in privately
negotiated transactions to third parties or otherwise.

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer

          Item 5(a) is hereby amended and restated as follows:

          (a) As of the close of business on August 29, 1995, Registrants
may be deemed to beneficially own in the aggregate 12,067,612 Depositary
Units, representing approximately 47% of AREP's outstanding Depositary
Units.  High Coast is the direct beneficial owner of such Depositary Units. 

          API (by virtue of position as general partner of High Coast) may
be deemed to beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under
the Act), the Depositary Units which High Coast directly beneficially owns. 
API disclaims beneficial ownership of the Depositary Units for all other
purposes.

          Mr. Icahn (by virtue of his position as sole owner of API) may be
deemed to beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the
Act), the Depositary Units which High Coast directly beneficially owns and
API indirectly beneficially owns.  Mr. Icahn disclaims beneficial ownership
of such Depositary Units for all other purposes.

          Registrants may be deemed to beneficially own the Depositary
Units held of record by API Nominee Corp. but Registrants disclaim
beneficial ownership of all such Depositary Units.

          To the best of Registrants' knowledge, except as set forth
herein, none of the directors nor executive officers of API beneficially
owns any Depositary Units, with the exception of William A. Leidesdorf who
beneficially owns 7,000 Depository Units.

          Item 5(c) is hereby amended to add the following:

          The following table sets forth all purchases with respect to the
Depositary Units effected during the past sixty (60) days by the persons
named in Item 5(a) above.  Each transaction set forth below reflects an
open market purchase by High Coast effected and the New York Stock
Exchange.
