MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL EXTENDS TENDER OFFER FOR FORUM GROUP


WASHINGTON, D.C., March 13, 1996 -- Marriott International, Inc. and Forum
Group, Inc. today announced that the $13 per share cash tender offer by a wholly
owned Marriott subsidiary (FG Acquisition Corp.) to purchase all of the
outstanding shares of Forum's common stock has been extended from 12:00
midnight, New York City time on Thursday, March 21, 1996 until 12:01 A.M., New
York City time, Saturday, March 23, 1996.

     Marriott also confirmed that the condition to the tender offer requiring
entry of an order by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court has been satisfied. In addition,
the company said that it has waived the condition to the tender offer requiring
that Forum acquire all of the equity interest in Forum Retirement Communities
II, L.P. In consideration of this waiver, and of Marriott's agreement under
certain circumstances, not to assert after March 21, 1996 that several other
conditions to the tender offer have not been satisfied, Forum has permitted
Marriott to extend the tender offer for one day.

     Based on the latest count of tendered shares, approximately 2,953,713
shares of Forum common stock have been validly tendered and not withdrawn
pursuant to the tender offer. In addition, shares representing approximately 83%
of the outstanding shares of Forum's common stock have been committed to be
tendered, resulting in the tendering of a total of approximately 93% of Forum's
shares.

     Marriott International, Inc., based in Washington, D.C., is a diversified
hospitality company involved in lodging and services management.
