              Exhibit No.                Description
              ----------                 -----------

                 99.1     Press Release issued by Loews Corporation,
                          announcing a quarterly dividend on Common
                          Stock.


Item 9.  Regulation FD Disclosure

  On October 15, 2002, Registrant issued a press release announcing a
quarterly dividend of $.15 per share of Common Stock, payable December 2, 2002
to shareholders of record on November 1, 2002. The release also notes that
Registrant has modified the schedule of meetings at which payment of quarterly
dividends would be considered by the Board of Directors, effective in 2003.
Under the modified schedule, quarterly dividend payments would be considered
at Board meetings scheduled for February, May, August and November. As a
result, quarterly dividend payments for dividends which are declared would be
approximately two weeks later than had been the case in 2002.

  A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is
incorporated herein by reference.
