ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

   
      (a) As previously  discussed in the General Motors  Corporation  Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 1997 (1997 1st Quarter 10-Q),
local union members in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma,  and Pontiac,  Michigan,  ceased
production at two assembly  plants on April 4 and April 22, 1997,  respectively,
where new local union  agreements had not been  completed.  The work stoppage at
the Oklahoma City facility ended on May 27, 1997,  after GM and  representatives
of the local union reached a tentative agreement, that was subsequently ratified
by the members of the local  union.  GM is seeking to resolve  the issues  which
have created the work stoppage at the Pontiac  facility,  the timing of which is
uncertain.  To the extent that work stoppages continue to disrupt the production
and shipment of vehicles,  the  resulting  deferral or decline in revenues  will
have  a  continuing  impact  on  GM's  results  of  operations.   Including  the
unfavorable  after-tax  impact of $225 million  through May 15,  1997,  that was
disclosed in the 1997 1st Quarter 10-Q, GM estimates  that the work stoppages in
Oklahoma City and Pontiac had an aggregate  unfavorable after-tax impact of $490
million, or $0.67 per share of GM $1-2/3 par value common stock, during the 1997
second  quarter that  resulted  from a loss of 96,000 units of  production.  The
above estimated unfavorable after-tax impact represents the combined effects for
GM  North  American  Operations  (aggregate  to  date  - $375  million),  Delphi
Automotive Systems (aggregate to date - $85 million),  and the Delco Electronics
unit of Hughes  (aggregate to date - $30 million) and does not take into account
the  effect of  possible  recoveries  that may occur  through  truck  production
increases that GM is likely to pursue at various facilities in future periods.
