Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure
- --------------------------------

      Management of The Chase Manhattan Corporation reiterated today the
following comments regarding Chase Capital Partners, its private equity
investment business, originally made at an investor presentation on October 18,
2000:

      "Chase is continuing to explore the best way to present to investors the
contribution that Chase Capital Partners ("CCP") makes to Chase's overall
shareholder value. Chase has not considered, and is not considering, exiting the
business and does not intend to spin off CCP as a separate entity. CCP is a
business with a consistent track record of providing excellent returns to
shareholders over a long period of time, fully compensating for the additional
volatility it contributes to Chase's earnings."
