                     SCHEDULE 13D - Amendment No. 11

          The Schedule 13D filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") on September 24, 1990 by Meadowstar Holding Company,
Inc., a Delaware Corporation, Carl C. Icahn, a citizen of the United States
of America, Unicorn Associates Corporation, a New York corporation
("Unicorn"), ACF Industries, Incorporated, a New Jersey corporation
("ACF"), Icahn Capital Corporation, a Delaware corporation and Icahn
Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("IHC"), as amended by
Amendment No. 1 dated November 16, 1990, Amendment No. 2 dated March 19,
1992, Amendment No. 3 dated March 18, 1993, Amendment No. 4 dated May 13,
1993, Amendment No. 5 dated March 24, 1994, Amendment No. 6 dated July 28,
1994, Amendment No. 7 dated July 29, 1994, Amendment No. 8 dated April 13,
1994, Amendment No. 9 dated August 30, 1995, Amendment No. 10 dated
September 14, 1995, and Amendment No. 11 dated January 16, 1996 is
further amended to furnish the additional information set forth herein. 
All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have
the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Icahn Group's prior statements
on Schedule 13D.

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 328,200 depositary units
representing limited partner interests in AREP (the "Depositary Units")
purchased by High Coast is $2,942,117.00.  The source of funds for the
Depositary Units is capital contributions by Tortoise Corp., a New York
corporation and a limited partner of High Coast ("Tortoise").

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 January 18, 1996, Registrants
may be deemed to beneficially own in the aggregate 12,731,012 Depositary
Units, representing approximately 50% 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.

          In April 1995, High Coast, in essence, executed an accommodation
pledge of the 11,689,896 Depositary Units and 1, 720,688 Preferred Units
then owned by High Coast to a bank which permitted Tortoise, an affiliate
of High Coast, to borrow funds from that bank in order to purchase limited
partnership units of High Coast. Those Depositary Units remain pledged to
such bank.

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

          The following table sets forth all purchases with respect to the
Depositary Units effected since the most recent filing on Schedule 13D
(September 14, 1995) by the persons named in Item 5(a) above.  Each
transaction set forth below reflects an open market purchase by High Coast
effected on the New York Stock Exchange.
