Item 2.  Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and
            Results of Operations.


The   following  narrative  by  management  of   the
Companys  results  of  operations  is  provided  in
accordance  with  General Instruction  (H)(2)(a)  of
Form 10-Q.

Norwest   Mortgage  Conventional   1,   Inc.   (the
Company),  was  incorporated on October  20,  1983,
under  the  laws  of the State of  Delaware,  as  a
wholly-owned  subsidiary of Norwest Mortgage,  Inc.
(the  parent company).  The parent is the principal
mortgage banking business of Wells Fargo &  Company
and  derives  its income primarily  from  mortgage
origination and servicing operations.   The  parent
is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Norwest Nova, Inc.,
which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo &
Company.  The  Company was organized to  issue  and
sell  one series of obligations, consisting of four
classes,  collateralized by fully  modified,  pass-
through, mortgage-backed certificates guaranteed as
to   principal  and  interest  by  the   Government
National Mortgage Association (GNMA), and does  not
intend  to  engage in any other business activities
except  activities incidental and necessary to  the
foregoing.

The  Company  had no net income for the quarter  and
six  months  ended  June  30,  1999  and  1998.  The
management contract requires all available income of
the  Company  be  paid  to  the  parent  company  as
compensation  for management services, reimbursement
of expenses, and as additional purchase for the GNMA
Certificates securing the obligations.  As a  result
of  the  terms  of  the management contract,  it  is
anticipated that the Company will have no net income
for a number of subsequent years.

Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure

      The  Company is aware of the issues associated
with  the  programming  code  in  existing  computer
systems  as  the millennium (year 2000)  approaches.
The  year  2000 problem is pervasive and  complex;
virtually every computer operation will be  affected
in  some  way by the rollover of the two-digit  year
value  to 00.  The issue is whether computer systems
will  properly recognize date-sensitive  information
when the year changes to 2000.  Systems that do  not
properly  recognize such information could  generate
erroneous  data,  fail or cause  another  system  to
fail.   "Systems"  include all  hardware,  networks,
system and application software, commercial off-the-
shelf   software,  data  and  voice   communication
devices,  and  embedded  technology  such  as  date-
impacted  processors in automated  systems  such  as
elevators,  telephone  systems,  security   systems,
vault  systems,  heating  and  cooling  systems  and
others.




<PAGE> 8
     The  Companys year 2000 readiness projects are
divided into four phases:

Phase  I: comprehensive assessment and inventory  of
Systems    intended   to   determine    year    2000
vulnerability and risk;

Phase  II:  date  detection on Systems  intended  to
determine which Systems must be remediated and which
Systems  are  compliant  and require  testing  only;
determination of required resources and  costs;  and
the  development of schedules and high-level testing
plans  for the repair, replacement and/or retirement
of   Systems that are not determined to be year 2000
compliant;

Phase III: repair, replacement and/or retirement  of
Systems  that  are not determined to  be  year  2000
compliant;  conduct  testing of individual  Systems;
and  plan the integration testing for those  Systems
that   have  interfaces  with  other  Systems   both
internal and external to the company, such as  those
of customers and suppliers; and

Phase  IV: integration testing of applicable Systems
to  validate that interfaces with other Systems  are
year   2000   compliant;  and  the  development   of
contingency   plans,  such  as  plans   to   recover
operations and alternatives to mitigate the  effects
of  counterparties  whose own  failure  to  properly
address year 2000 issues may adversely impact  their
ability to perform certain functions.

     The Company in respect to the year 2000 project
has  substantially completed all phases  (Phases  I,
II, III and IV).

     The  cost  to address the Companys  year  2000
projects  are  included as part  of  the  management
contract with its parent company.

     In  the event year 2000 problems arise out of  a
failure  of the efforts described above any resulting
disruptions  could  adversely  affect  the   business
operations.
