PLUS due November 20, 2008
Based on the Closing Price of Shares of the
iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund
Performance Leveraged Upside SecuritiesSM
(“PLUSSM”)
 
Unlike ordinary debt securities, the PLUS do not pay interest and do not guarantee any return of principal at maturity.  Instead, at maturity, you will receive for each $10 stated principal amount of PLUS that you hold an amount in cash based upon the closing price of one share of the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund, which we refer to as the closing price, on November 18, 2008, which we refer to as the valuation date.
•  
The stated principal amount and issue price of each PLUS is $10.
•  
We will not pay interest on the PLUS.
•  
At maturity, if the final share price is greater than the initial share price, you will receive for each $10 stated principal amount of PLUS that you hold a payment equal to $10 plus the leveraged upside payment, which is equal to $10 multiplied by 200% of the percent increase in the closing price, subject to a maximum payment at maturity of $11.90, or 119% of the $10 stated principal amount.  If the final share price is less than or equal to the initial share price, you will receive for each $10 stated principal amount of PLUS that you hold a payment at maturity equal to $10 multiplied by the share performance factor, which will be less than or equal to 1.0.
º  
The percent increase in the closing price will be equal to (i) the final share price minus the initial share price, divided by (ii) the initial share price.
º  
The share performance factor will be equal to (i) the final share price divided by (ii) the initial share price.
º  
The initial share price is 83.07, the closing price of one share of the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund, which we refer to as an underlying share or collectively as the underlying shares, on the day we priced the PLUS for initial sale to the public.
º  
The final share price will equal the closing price of one underlying share times the adjustment factor on the valuation date.  The adjustment factor will be initially set at 1.0 and is subject to change upon certain events affecting the underlying shares.
•  
Investing in the PLUS is not equivalent to investing in the underlying shares or in the MSCI EAFE Index.
•  
The PLUS will not be listed on any securities exchange.
•  
The CUSIP number for the PLUS is 617475520.
You should read the more detailed description of the PLUS in this pricing supplement. In particular, you should review and understand the descriptions in “Summary of Pricing Supplement” and “Description of PLUS.”
The PLUS are riskier than ordinary debt securities.  See “Risk Factors” beginning on PS-8.
The Securities and Exchange Commission and state securities regulators have not approved or disapproved these securities, or determined if this pricing supplement is truthful or complete.  Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

SUMMARY OF PRICING SUPPLEMENT
 
The following summary describes the PLUSSM we are offering to you in general terms only.  You should read the summary together with the more detailed information that is contained in the rest of this pricing supplement and in the accompanying prospectus and prospectus supplement.  You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth in “Risk Factors.”
 
The PLUS offered are medium-term debt securities of Morgan Stanley.  The return on the PLUS at maturity is based on the closing price of the shares of the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund, each of which we refer to as an underlying share.
 
“iShares®” is a registered trademark of Barclays Global Investors, N.A.  “Performance Leveraged Upside SecuritiesSM” and “PLUSSM” are our service marks.
 
Each PLUS costs $10
 
We, Morgan Stanley, are offering Performance Leveraged Upside SecuritiesSM due November 20, 2008, Based on the Closing Price of Shares of the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund, which we refer to as the PLUS.  The stated principal amount and issue price of each PLUS is $10.
 
   
The original issue price of the PLUS includes the agent’s commissions paid with respect to the PLUS and the cost of hedging our obligations under the PLUS.  The cost of hedging includes the projected profit that our subsidiaries may realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in managing the hedging transactions.  The fact that the original issue price of the PLUS includes these commissions and hedging costs is expected to adversely affect the secondary market prices of the PLUS.  See “Risk Factors—The inclusion of commissions and projected profit from hedging in the original issue price is likely to adversely affect secondary market prices” and “Description of PLUS—Use of Proceeds and Hedging.”
 
No guaranteed return of principal; no interest
 
Unlike ordinary debt securities, the PLUS do not pay interest and do not guarantee any return of principal at maturity.  If the final share price is less than the initial share price, we will pay to you an amount in cash per PLUS that is less than the $10 stated principal amount of each PLUS by an amount proportionate to the decrease in the closing price of the underlying shares.  The initial share price is 83.07, the closing price of one underlying share on the day we priced the PLUS for initial sale to the public, which we refer to as the pricing date.  The final share price will be the closing price of one underlying share times the adjustment factor on November 18, 2008, which we refer to as the valuation date.  The adjustment factor is initially set at 1.0 and is subject to change upon certain events affecting the underlying shares.
 
Payment at maturity based on the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund
 
At maturity, you will receive for each $10 stated principal amount of PLUS that you hold an amount in cash based upon the closing price of one underlying share on the valuation date, determined as follows:
 
  If the final share price is greater than the initial share price, you will receive for each $10 stated principal amount of PLUS that you hold a payment at maturity equal to:
 
   
$10    +    leveraged upside payment,
 
   
subject to a maximum payment at maturity of $11.90, or 119% of the $10 stated principal amount,
 
 
 
PS-3


 
   
where,
 
   
leveraged upside payment = $10 × leverage factor × share percent increase,
 
   
leverage factor  = 200%,

 
share percent increase
=
final share price − initial share price
 
initial share price

   
final share price   =  the closing price of one underlying share times the adjustment factor, each as of the valuation date,
 
   
initial share price =  $83.07, the closing price of one underlying share on the pricing date,
 
   
and
 
   
adjustment factor  = 1.0, subject to change upon certain events affecting the underlying shares.

   
  If the final share price is less than or equal to the initial share price, you will receive for each $10 stated principal amount of PLUS that you hold a payment at maturity equal to:
 
   
$10    ×    share performance factor
 
   
where,
 
 
share performance factor
=
final share price
 
initial share price
 
   
Because the share performance factor will be less than or equal to 1.0, this payment will be less than or equal to $10.
 
   
On PS-7, we have provided a graph titled “Hypothetical Payouts on the PLUS at Maturity,” which illustrates the performance of the PLUS at maturity over a range of hypothetical percentage changes in the closing price of the underlying shares.  The graph does not show every situation that may occur.
 
   
You can review the historical prices of the underlying shares in the section of this pricing supplement called “Description of PLUS—Historical Information.”  The iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI EAFE Index.
 
The adjustment factor may be changed
 
During the life of the PLUS, our affiliate, Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated or its successors, which we refer to as MS & Co., acting as calculation agent, may make changes to the adjustment factor, initially set at 1.0, to reflect the occurrence of certain events relating to the underlying shares.  You should read about these adjustments in the sections of this pricing supplement called “Risk Factors—The antidilution adjustments the calculation agent is required to make do not cover every event that could affect the underlying shares,” “Description of PLUS—Adjustment Factor” and “—Antidilution Adjustments.”
 
 
PS-4


 
You have no shareholder rights
 
Investing in the PLUS is not equivalent to investing in the underlying shares or the stocks composing the MSCI EAFE Index.  As an investor in the PLUS, you will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to the underlying shares or the stocks composing the MSCI EAFE Index.  In addition, you do not have the right to exchange your PLUS for underlying shares at any time.
 
Your return on the PLUS is limited by the maximum payment at maturity
 
The return investors realize on the PLUS is limited by the maximum payment at maturity.  The maximum payment at maturity of each PLUS is $11.90, or 119% of the $10 stated principal amount.  Although the leverage factor provides 200% exposure to any increase in the closing price of the underlying shares at maturity, because the payment at maturity will be limited to 119% of the $10 stated principal amount, the percentage exposure provided by the leverage factor is progressively reduced as the final share price exceeds 109.5%% of the initial share price.  See “Hypothetical Payouts on the PLUS at Maturity” on PS-7.
 
Postponement of maturity date
 
If a market disruption event occurs on the scheduled valuation date or the scheduled valuation date is not otherwise a trading day, the maturity date will be postponed until the second scheduled trading day following the valuation date as postponed.
 
The iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund
 
The underlying shares are shares of the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund.  The iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund is an exchange-traded fund managed by iShares®, Inc., a registered investment company. iShares®, Inc. consists of numerous separate investment portfolios, including the MSCI EAFE Index Fund.  The iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI EAFE Index.  It is possible that this fund may not fully replicate or may in certain circumstances diverge significantly from the performance of the MSCI EAFE Index due to the temporary unavailability of certain securities in the secondary market, the performance of any derivative instruments contained in this fund or due to other circumstances.  Because the prices of the component securities of the MSCI EAFE Index® are quoted in foreign currencies and converted into U.S. dollars for the purposes of calculating the MSCI EAFE Index®, the underlying shares are subject to currency exchange risk.  See “Risk Factors—The PLUS are subject to currency exchange risk” and “Description of PLUS—The MSCI EAFE Index®.”
 
The MSCI EAFE Index
 
The MSCI EAFE Index is calculated, published and disseminated daily by Morgan Stanley Capital International Inc., or MSCI®, a majority-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, and comprises the equity securities underlying the MSCI indices of 21 selected countries in Europe and Asia, as well as Australia and New Zealand.

MSCI® is our subsidiary
 
MSCI publishes the MSCI EAFE Index and is a majority-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley.  MSCI is responsible for the design and maintenance of the MSCI EAFE Index, including decisions regarding the calculation of the MSCI EAFE Index, such as the addition and deletion of component stocks and other methodological modifications of the MSCI EAFE Index.  The actions and judgments of MSCI may affect the value of the MSCI EAFE Index and, consequently, could adversely affect the closing share price, to the extent that the underlying shares generally track the MSCI EAFE Index, and the value of the PLUS.  The economic interests of the calculation agent and other of our affiliates are potentially adverse to your interests.
 
 
PS-5


 
MS & Co. will be the Calculation Agent
 
We have appointed our affiliate, MS & Co., to act as calculation agent for The Bank of New York, a New York banking corporation (as successor trustee to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.), the trustee for our senior notes.  As calculation agent, MS & Co. has determined the initial share price and will determine the final share price, the percentage change in the underlying shares from their initial share price to the final share price, the payment to you at maturity and whether a market disruption event has occurred.

Where you can find more information on the PLUS
 
The PLUS are senior notes issued as part of our Series F medium-term note program.  You can find a general description of our Series F medium-term note program in the accompanying prospectus supplement dated July 24, 2007.  We describe the basic features of this type of note in the sections of the prospectus supplement called “Description of Notes—Fixed Rate Notes” and “—Exchangeable Notes.”
 
   
Because this is a summary, it does not contain all of the information that may be important to you.  For a detailed description of the terms of the PLUS, you should read the “Description of PLUS” section in this pricing supplement.  You should also read about some of the risks involved in investing in the PLUS in the section called “Risk Factors.”  The tax treatment of investments in notes such as these differ from that of investments in ordinary debt securities.  See the section of this pricing supplement called “Description of PLUS—United States Federal Income Taxation.”  We urge you to consult with your investment, legal, tax, accounting and other advisors with regard to any proposed or actual investment in the PLUS.

HYPOTHETICAL PAYOUTS ON THE PLUS AT MATURITY
 
For each PLUS, the following graph illustrates the payment at maturity on the PLUS for a range of hypothetical percentage changes in the closing price of the underlying shares.  The PLUS Zone illustrates the leveraging effect of the leverage factor taking into account the maximum payment at maturity.  The graph is based on the following terms:
 
•  
Stated principal amount per PLUS:          $10
 
•  
Initial share price:                                     $83.07
 
•  
Leverage factor:                                         200%
 
•  
Maximum payment at maturity:              $11.90 (119% of the $10 stated principal amount)
 
Where the final share price is greater than the initial share price, the payment at maturity per PLUS reflected in the graph below is greater than the $10 stated principal amount, but in all cases is subject to the maximum payment at maturity.  Where the final share price is less than or equal to the initial share price, the payment at maturity per PLUS reflected in the graph below is less than or equal to the $10 stated principal amount.
 
In the graph below, you will realize the maximum payment at maturity at a final share price of 109.5% of the initial share price, or $90.96165.  In addition, you will not share in any further appreciation of the underlying shares at final share prices above 109.5% of the initial share price, or $90.96165.  The graph does not show every situation that may occur.
 
 
 
PS-7

 
 
The PLUS are not secured debt, are riskier than ordinary debt securities and, unlike ordinary debt securities, the PLUS do not pay interest or guarantee any return of principal at maturity.  The return that investors realize on the PLUS is limited by the maximum payment at maturity.  This section describes the most significant risks relating to the PLUS.  You should carefully consider whether the PLUS are suited to your particular circumstances before you decide to purchase them.
 
PLUS do not pay interest or guarantee return of principal
 
The terms of the PLUS differ from those of ordinary debt securities in that we will not pay you interest on the PLUS or guarantee to pay you the principal amount of the PLUS at maturity.  Instead, at maturity, you will receive for each $10 stated principal amount of PLUS that you hold an amount in cash based upon the final share price.  If the final share price is greater than the initial share price, you will receive an amount in cash equal to $10 plus the leveraged upside payment, subject to a maximum payment at maturity of $11.90, or 119% of the $10 stated principal amount.  If the final share price is less than the initial share price, you will lose money on your investment; you will receive an amount in cash that is less than the $10 stated principal amount of each PLUS by an amount proportionate to the decrease in the closing price of the underlying shares.  See “Hypothetical Payouts on the PLUS at Maturity” on PS–7.
 
Your appreciation potential is limited
 
The appreciation potential of the PLUS is limited by the maximum payment at maturity of $11.90, or 119% of the $10 stated principal amount.  As a result, you will not share in any appreciation of the underlying shares above 109.5% of the price of the underlying shares on the day we priced the PLUS for initial sale to the public.  Although the leverage factor provides 200% exposure to any increase in the price of the underlying shares as of the valuation date, because the payment at maturity is limited to 119% of the $10 stated principal amount, the enhanced return provided by the leverage factor is progressively reduced as the final share price exceeds 109.5% of the initial share price.  See “Hypothetical Payouts on the PLUS at Maturity” on PS–7.
 
The PLUS will not be listed
 
The PLUS will not be listed on any securities exchange.  Therefore, there may be little or no secondary market for the PLUS.  MS & Co. currently intends to act as a market maker for the PLUS but is not required to do so.  Even if there is a secondary market, it may not provide enough liquidity to allow you to trade or sell the PLUS easily.  Because we do not expect that other market makers will participate significantly in the secondary market for the PLUS, the price at which you may be able to trade your PLUS is likely to depend on the price, if any, at which MS & Co. is willing to transact.  If, at any time, MS & Co. were to cease acting as a market maker, it is likely that there would be no secondary market for the PLUS.  Because it is not possible to predict whether the market for the PLUS will be liquid or illiquid, you should be willing to hold your PLUS to maturity.
 
Market price of the PLUS may be influenced by many unpredictable factors
 
Several factors, many of which are beyond our control, will influence the value of the PLUS in the secondary market and the price at which MS & Co. may be willing to purchase or sell the PLUS in the secondary market.  We expect that generally the trading price of the underlying shares on any day will affect the value of the PLUS more than any other single factor.  Other factors that may influence the value of the PLUS include:
 
   
  the volatility (frequency and magnitude of changes in price) of the underlying shares;
 
 
 
PS-8


 
   
  geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events that affect the securities underlying the MSCI EAFE Index or stock markets generally, and which may affect the trading price of the underlying shares;
 
   
  interest and yield rates in the market;
 
   
  the dividend rate on the underlying shares;
 
   
  the time remaining until the PLUS mature;
 
   
  our creditworthiness; and
 
   
  the occurrence of certain events affecting the underlying shares that may or may not require an adjustment to the adjustment factor.
 
   
Some or all of these factors will influence the price you will receive if you sell your PLUS prior to maturity.  For example, you may have to sell your PLUS at a substantial discount from the principal amount if the trading price of the underlying shares is at, below, or not sufficiently above the initial share price.
 
   
You cannot predict the future performance of the underlying shares based on their historical performance.  The price of the underlying shares may decrease so that you will receive at maturity a payment that is less than the principal amount of the PLUS by an amount proportionate to the decrease in the price of the underlying shares.  In addition, there can be no assurance that the price of the underlying shares will increase so that you will receive at maturity an amount in excess of the principal amount of the PLUS.  Nor can there be any assurance that the price of the underlying shares will not increase beyond 109.5% of the initial share price, in which case you will only receive the maximum payment at maturity.  You will no longer share in the performance of the underlying shares at prices above 109.5% of the initial share price.
 
The value of the underlying shares are subject to currency exchange risk
 
Because the price of the underlying shares reflects the U.S. dollar value of the stocks underlying the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund, holders of the PLUS will be exposed to currency exchange rate risk with respect to each of the currencies in which such component securities trade.  An investor’s net exposure will depend on the extent to which the currencies of the component countries strengthen or weaken against the U.S. dollar and the relative weight of each currency.  If, taking into account such weighting, the dollar strengthens against the currencies of the component securities represented in the MSCI EAFE Index, the value of the underlying shares will be adversely affected and the payment at maturity on the PLUS may be reduced.
 
   
Of particular importance to potential currency exchange risk are:
 
   
  existing and expected rates of inflation;
 
   
  existing and expected interest rate levels;
 
   
  the balance of payments; and
 
   
  the extent of governmental surpluses or deficits in the component countries and the United States of America.
 
   
All of these factors are in turn sensitive to the monetary, fiscal and trade policies pursued by the governments of various component countries and the United States and other countries important to international trade and finance.
 
 
PS-9


 
There are risks associated with investments in securities linked to the value of foreign equity securities
 
The stocks included in the MSCI EAFE Index and that are generally tracked by the underlying shares have been issued by companies in various foreign countries.  Investments in securities linked to the value of foreign equity securities involve risks associated with the securities markets in those countries, including risks of volatility in those markets, governmental intervention in those markets and cross-shareholdings in companies in certain countries.  Also, there is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies than about U.S. companies that are subject to the reporting requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and foreign companies are subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and requirements different from those applicable to U.S. reporting companies.
 
   
The prices of securities in foreign markets may be affected by political, economic, financial and social factors in those countries, or global regions, including changes in government, economic and fiscal policies and currency exchange laws.  Local securities markets may trade a small number of securities and may be unable to respond effectively to increases in trading volume, potentially making prompt liquidation of holdings difficult or impossible at times.  Moreover, the economies in such countries may differ favorably or unfavorably from the economy in the United States in such respects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resources and self-sufficiency.
 
The inclusion of commissions and projected profit from hedging in the original issue price is likely to adversely affect secondary market prices
 
Assuming no change in market conditions or any other relevant factors, the price, if any, at which MS & Co. is willing to purchase PLUS in secondary market transactions will likely be lower than the original issue price, since the original issue price included, and secondary market prices are likely to exclude, commissions paid with respect to the PLUS, as well as the projected profit included in the cost of hedging our obligations under the PLUS.  In addition, any such prices may differ from values determined by pricing models used by MS & Co. as a result of dealer discounts, mark-ups or other transaction costs.
 
Adjustments to the underlying shares or to the MSCI EAFE Index could adversely affect the value of the PLUS
 
Barclays Global Fund Advisors, which we refer to as BGFA, is the investment adviser to the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund, which seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI EAFE Index.  MSCI is responsible for calculating and maintaining the MSCI EAFE Index.  MSCI can add, delete or substitute the stocks underlying the MSCI EAFE Index or make other methodological changes that could change the value of the MSCI EAFE Index.  Pursuant to its investment strategy or otherwise, BGFA may add, delete or substitute the stocks composing the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund.  Any of these actions could adversely affect the price of the underlying shares and, consequently, the value of the PLUS.
 
The underlying shares and the MSCI EAFE Index are different
 
The performance of the underlying shares may not exactly replicate the performance of the MSCI EAFE Index because the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund will reflect transaction costs and fees that are not included in the calculation of the MSCI EAFE Index.  It is also possible that the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund may not fully replicate or may in certain circumstances diverge significantly from the performance of the MSCI EAFE Index due to the temporary unavailability of certain securities in the secondary market, the performance of any derivative instruments contained in this fund, differences in trading hours between the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund and the MSCI EAFE Index or due to other circumstances.  BGFA may invest up to 10% of the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund’s assets in shares of other iShares® funds that seek to track the performance of equity securities of constituent countries of the MSCI EAFE Index.
 
 
PS-10


 
The antidilution adjustments the calculation agent is required to make do not cover every event that could affect the underlying shares
 
MS & Co., as calculation agent, will adjust the amount payable at maturity for certain events affecting the underlying shares.  However, the calculation agent will not make an adjustment for every event that could affect the underlying shares.  If an event occurs that does not require the calculation agent to adjust the amount payable at maturity, the market price of the PLUS may be materially and adversely affected.
 
The economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests
 
The economic interests of the calculation agent and other affiliates of ours are potentially adverse to your interests as an investor in the PLUS.
 
MSCI and MS & Co., the calculation agent, are each our subsidiaries.  MSCI is responsible for calculating and maintaining the MSCI EAFE Index and the guidelines and policies governing its composition and calculation.  Morgan Stanley, as the parent company of MSCI, is ultimately responsible for MSCI.
 
   
The policies and judgments for which MSCI is responsible concerning additions, deletions, substitutions and weightings of the component stocks and the manner in which certain changes affecting such component stocks are taken into account may affect the value of the MSCI EAFE Index and, consequently, the share price, to the extent that the underlying shares generally track the MSCI EAFE Index, and the value of the PLUS.  The inclusion of a component stock in the MSCI EAFE Index is not an investment recommendation by Morgan Stanley or MSCI of that security.
 
   
MS & Co. and MSCI are under no obligation to consider your interests as an investor in the PLUS and will not do so.  Any actions or judgments by MSCI or MS & Co. could adversely affect the share price and, consequently, the value of the PLUS.
 
   
The original issue price of the PLUS includes the agent’s commissions and certain costs of hedging our obligations under the PLUS.  The subsidiaries through which we hedge our obligations under the PLUS expect to make a profit.  Since hedging our obligations entails risk and may be influenced by market forces beyond our or our subsidiaries’ control, such hedging may result in a profit that is more or less than initially projected.
 
Investing in the PLUS is not equivalent to investing in the underlying shares
 
Investing in the PLUS is not equivalent to investing in the underlying shares or the MSCI EAFE Index.  As an investor in the PLUS, you will not have voting rights or rights to receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights with respect to the underlying shares or the stocks composing the MSCI EAFE Index.
 
Hedging and trading activity by the calculation agent and its affiliates could potentially adversely affect the value of the PLUS
 
MS & Co. and other affiliates of ours will have carried out, and will continue to carry out hedging activities related to the PLUS (and possibly to other instruments linked to the underlying shares), including trading in the underlying shares, in options contracts on the underlying shares as well as in other instruments related to the underlying shares.  MS & Co. and some of our other subsidiaries also trade the underlying shares, the stocks underlying the MSCI EAFE Index and other financial instruments related to the underlying shares on a regular basis as part of their general broker-dealer and other businesses.  Any of these hedging or trading activities on or prior to the day we priced the PLUS for initial sale to the public could have increased the initial share price and, therefore, the price at which the underlying shares must close on the valuation date before you receive a payment at maturity that exceeds the principal amount of the PLUS.  Additionally, such hedging or trading activities during the term of the PLUS could potentially affect the closing price of the underlying shares on the valuation date and, accordingly, the amount of cash you will receive at maturity.

Although the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the PLUS are uncertain, each PLUS generally should be treated as a single financial contract that is an “open transaction” for U.S. federal income tax purposes
 
Although the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the PLUS are uncertain, each PLUS generally should be treated as a single financial contract that is an “open transaction” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
 
Please read the discussion under “United States Federal Income Taxation” in this pricing supplement concerning the U.S. federal tax consequences of investing in the PLUS.  As discussed under “United States Federal Income Taxation ─ Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders ─ Tax Treatment of the PLUS ─ Potential Application of the Constructive Ownership Rule,” although the matter is not clear, there is a substantial risk that an investment in the PLUS will be treated as a “constructive ownership transaction.”  If such treatment applies, it is not clear to what extent any long-term capital gain of the U.S. Holder in respect of the PLUS will be recharacterized as ordinary income (which ordinary income would also be subject to an interest charge).  U.S. investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of the “constructive ownership” rule.
 
If the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) were successful in asserting an alternative characterization or treatment for the PLUS, the timing and character of income on the PLUS might differ significantly.  We do not plan to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the tax treatment of the PLUS, and the IRS or a court may not agree with the tax treatment described in this pricing supplement.
 
   
You are urged to consult your own tax advisors regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal tax consequences of investing in the PLUS, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdiction.

Subject to the provisions set out under “—Discontinuance of the Underlying Shares and/or MSCI EAFE Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation” below, the Closing Price for the Underlying Shares (or one unit of any other security for which a Closing Price must be determined) on any Trading Day means:
 
(i)        if the Underlying Shares (or any such other security) are listed or admitted to trading on a national securities exchange (other than The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (the “NASDAQ”)), the last reported sale price, regular way, of the principal trading session on such day on the principal national securities exchange registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on which the Underlying Shares (or any such other security) are listed or admitted to trading,
 
(ii)        if the Underlying Shares (or any such other security) are securities of the NASDAQ, the official closing price published by the NASDAQ on such day, or
 
(iii)       if the Underlying Shares (or any such other security) are not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange but are included in the OTC Bulletin Board Service (the “OTC Bulletin Board”) operated by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the “NASD”), the last reported sale price of the principal trading session on the OTC Bulletin Board on such day.
 
   
If the Underlying Shares (or any such other security) are listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange but the last reported sale price or the official closing price published by the NASDAQ, as applicable, is not available pursuant to the preceding sentence, then the Closing Price for one Underlying Share (or one unit of any such other security) on any Trading Day will mean the last reported sale price of the principal trading session on the over-the-counter market as reported on the NASDAQ or the OTC Bulletin Board on such day.  If a Market Disruption Event (as defined below) occurs with respect to the Underlying Shares (or any such other security) or the last reported  
 
 
PS-14

 

   
sale price or the official closing price published by the NASDAQ, as applicable, for the Underlying Shares (or any such other security) is not available pursuant to either of the two preceding sentences, then the Closing Price for any Trading Day will be the mean, as determined by the Calculation Agent, of the bid prices for the Underlying Shares (or any such other security) for such Trading Day obtained from as many recognized dealers in such security, but not exceeding three, as will make such bid prices available to the Calculation Agent.  Bids of Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and its successors (“MS & Co.”) or any of its affiliates may be included in the calculation of such mean, but only to the extent that any such bid is the highest of the bids obtained.  The term “OTC Bulletin Board Service” will include any successor service thereto.  See “—Discontinuance of the Underlying Shares and/or MSCI EAFE Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation” below.
 
Final Share Price
 
 
The Closing Price of one Underlying Share times the Adjustment Factor, each as determined by the Calculation Agent on the Valuation Date.
 
Adjustment Factor
 
 
1.0, subject to adjustment in the event of certain events affecting the Underlying Shares.  See “—Antidilution Adjustments” below.
 
Valuation Date
 
 
November 18, 2008, subject to postponement as described in the following paragraph.
 
If a Market Disruption Event occurs on the scheduled Valuation Date, or if such Valuation Date is not a Trading Day, the Final Share Price will be determined on the immediately succeeding Trading Day on which no Market Disruption Event shall have occurred; provided that the Final Share Price will not be determined on a date later than the fifth scheduled Trading Day after the scheduled Valuation Date and if such date is not a Trading Day or if there is a Market Disruption Event on such date, the Calculation Agent will determine the Final Share Price as the mean, as determined by the Calculation Agent, of the bid prices for the Underlying Shares for such date obtained from as many recognized dealers in such security, but not exceeding three, as will make such bid prices available to the Calculation Agent.  Bids of MS & Co. or any of its affiliates may be included in the calculation of such mean, but only to the extent that any such bid is the highest of the bids obtained.
 
Trading Day
 
 
A day, as determined by the Calculation Agent, on which trading is generally conducted on the New York Stock Exchange LLC (“NYSE”), the American Stock Exchange LLC, The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the Chicago Board of Options Exchange and in the over-the-counter market for equity securities in the United States.

All determinations made by the Calculation Agent will be at the sole discretion of the Calculation Agent and will, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and binding on you, the Trustee and us.
 
All calculations with respect to the Payment at Maturity, if any, will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth, with five one-millionths rounded upward (e.g., .876545 would be rounded to .87655); all dollar amounts related to determination of the amount of cash payable per PLUS will be rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth, with five one hundred-thousandths rounded upward (e.g., .76545 would be rounded up to .7655); and all dollar amounts paid on the aggregate number of PLUS will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent rounded upward.
 
Because the Calculation Agent is our subsidiary, the economic interests of the Calculation Agent and its affiliates may be adverse to your interests as an investor in the PLUS, including with respect to certain determinations and judgments that the Calculation Agent must make in determining the Initial Share Price, the Final Share Price or whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred.  See “—Market Disruption Event,” “—Antidilution Adjustments” and “—Discontinuance of the Underlying Shares and/or MSCI EAFE Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation” below.  MS & Co. is obligated to carry out its duties and functions as Calculation Agent in good faith and using its reasonable judgment.
 
Market Disruption Event
 
 
Market Disruption Event means, with respect to the Underlying Shares:
 
(i)        the occurrence or existence of a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading of the Underlying Shares on the primary market for the Underlying Shares for more than two hours of trading or during the one-half hour period preceding the close of the principal trading session in such market; or a breakdown or failure in the price and trade reporting systems of the primary market for the Underlying Shares as a result of which the reported trading prices for the Underlying Shares during the last one-half hour preceding the close of the principal trading session
 
 
 
PS-16


 
   
in such market are materially inaccurate; or the suspension, absence or material limitation of trading on the primary market for trading in futures or options contracts related to the Underlying Shares, if available, during the one-half hour period preceding the close of the principal trading session in the applicable market, in each case as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion; or
 
(ii)       the occurrence or existence of a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading of stocks then constituting 20 percent or more of the value of the MSCI EAFE Index on the Relevant Exchanges for such securities for more than two hours of trading or during the one-half hour period preceding the close of the principal trading session on such Relevant Exchanges, in each case as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion; or
 
(iii)       the suspension, material limitation or absence of trading on any major U.S. securities market for trading in futures or options contracts related to the MSCI EAFE Index or the Underlying Shares for more than two hours of trading or during the one-half hour period preceding the close of the principal trading session on such market, in each case as determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion; and
 
(iv)      a determination by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion that any event described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above materially interfered with our ability or the ability of any of our affiliates to unwind or adjust all or a material portion of the hedge position with respect to the PLUS.
 
For the purpose of determining whether a Market Disruption Event exists at any time, if trading in a security included in the MSCI EAFE Index is materially suspended or materially limited at that time, then the relevant percentage contribution of that security to the level of the MSCI EAFE Index shall be based on a comparison of (x) the portion of the level of the MSCI EAFE Index attributable to that security relative to (y) the overall level of the MSCI EAFE Index, in each case immediately before that suspension or limitation.
 
For the purpose of determining whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred:  (1) a limitation on the hours or number of days of trading will not constitute a Market Disruption Event if it results from an announced change in the regular business hours of the Relevant Exchange or market, (2) a decision to permanently
 
 
 
PS-17


 
   
discontinue trading in the relevant futures or options contract or any exchange-traded fund, including the Underlying Shares, will not constitute a Market Disruption Event, (3) limitations pursuant to the rules of any Relevant Exchange or market similar to NYSE Rule 80A (or any applicable rule or regulation enacted or promulgated by any other self-regulatory organization or any government agency of scope similar to NYSE Rule 80A as determined by the Calculation Agent) on trading during significant market fluctuations will constitute a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading, (4) a suspension of trading in futures or options contracts on the MSCI EAFE Index or the Underlying Shares by the primary securities market trading in such contracts by reason of (a) a price change exceeding limits set by such securities exchange or market, (b) an imbalance of orders relating to such contracts or (c) a disparity in bid and ask quotes relating to such contracts will constitute a suspension, absence or material limitation of trading in futures or options contracts related to the MSCI EAFE Index or the Underlying Shares and (5) a “suspension, absence or material limitation of trading” on any Relevant Exchange or on the primary market on which futures or options contracts related to the MSCI EAFE Index or the Underlying Shares are traded will not include any time when such securities market is itself closed for trading under ordinary circumstances. 
 
Relevant Exchange
 
 
Relevant Exchange means the primary exchange or market of trading for any security (or any combination thereof) then included in the MSCI EAFE Index or any Successor Index (as described below).
 
Antidilution Adjustments
 
 
If the Underlying Shares are subject to a stock split or reverse stock split, then once such split has become effective, the Adjustment Factor will be adjusted to equal the product of the prior Adjustment Factor and the number of shares issued in such stock split or reverse stock split with respect to one Underlying Share.
 
No adjustment to the Adjustment Factor pursuant to the paragraph above will be required unless such adjustment would require a change of at least 0.1% in the amount being adjusted as then in effect.  Any number so adjusted will be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth with five one-millionths being rounded upward.
 
See also “—Discontinuance of the Underlying Shares and/or MSCI EAFE Index; Alteration of Method of Calculation.”
 
 
 
PS-18


 
Discontinuance of the Underlying Shares 
and/or MSCI EAFE Index; 
   
Alteration of Method of Calculation
 
 
If the iShares® MSCI EAFE Index Fund is liquidated or otherwise terminated (a “Liquidation Event”), the Closing Price of the Underlying Shares on the Valuation Date will be determined by the Calculation Agent and will be deemed to equal the product of (i) the closing value of the MSCI EAFE Index (or any Successor Index, as described below) on the Valuation Date (taking into account any material changes in the method of calculating the MSCI EAFE Index following such Liquidation Event) times (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Closing Price of the Underlying Shares and the denominator of which is the closing value of the MSCI EAFE Index (or any Successor Index, as described below), each determined as of the last day prior to the occurrence of the Liquidation Event on which a Closing Price of the Underlying Shares was available.
 
If MSCI discontinues publication of the MSCI EAFE Index and MSCI or another entity (including MS & Co.) publishes a successor or substitute index that MS & Co., as the Calculation Agent, determines, in its sole discretion, to be comparable to the discontinued MSCI EAFE Index (such index being referred to herein as a “Successor Index”), then any subsequent Closing Price on any Trading Day, following a Liquidation Event will be determined by reference to the published value of such Successor Index at the regular weekday close of trading on such Trading Day.
 
Upon any selection by the Calculation Agent of a Successor Index, the Calculation Agent will cause written notice thereof to be furnished to the Trustee, to us and to DTC, as holder of the PLUS, within three Trading Days of such selection.  We expect that such notice will be passed on to you, as a beneficial owner of the PLUS, in accordance with the standard rules and procedures of DTC and its direct and indirect participants.
 
If MSCI discontinues publication of the MSCI EAFE Index prior to, and such discontinuance is continuing on, the Valuation Date following a Liquidation Event and MS & Co., as the Calculation Agent, determines, in its sole discretion, that no Successor Index is available at such time, then the Calculation Agent will determine the Closing Price for such date.  The Closing Price will be computed by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the formula for calculating the MSCI EAFE Index last in effect prior to such discontinuance, using the closing price (or, if trading in the relevant securities has been materially suspended or materially limited, its good faith estimate of the closing price that would have prevailed but for such suspension or limitation) at the close of the principal trading session of the Relevant Exchange on such date of each security most recently composing the MSCI EAFE Index without any rebalancing or substitution of such securities following such discontinuance.  Notwithstanding these alternative arrangements, discontinuance of the publication of the MSCI EAFE Index may adversely affect the value of the PLUS.
 
 
 
PS-19


 
Alternate Exchange Calculation
   
in Case of an Event of Default
 
 
In case an event of default with respect to the PLUS shall have occurred and be continuing, the amount declared due and payable per PLUS upon any acceleration of the PLUS (an “Event of Default Acceleration”) shall be determined by the Calculation Agent and shall be an amount in cash equal to the Payment at Maturity calculated as if the product of the Closing Price as of the date of such acceleration and the Adjustment Factor as of such date were the Final Share Price.
 
If the maturity of the PLUS is accelerated because of an event of default as described above, we shall, or shall cause the Calculation Agent to, provide written notice to the Trustee at its New York office, on which notice the Trustee may conclusively rely, and to DTC of the cash amount due with respect to the PLUS as promptly as possible and in no event later than two Business Days after the date of acceleration.

The MSCI EAFE Index
 
 
The MSCI EAFE Index is a stock index calculated, published and disseminated daily by MSCI, a majority-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, through numerous data vendors, on the MSCI website and in real time on Bloomberg Financial Markets and Reuters Limited.  See “—Affiliation of MSCI, MS & Co. and Morgan Stanley” below.
 
Morgan Stanley obtained all information contained in this pricing supplement regarding the MSCI EAFE Index, including, without limitation, its make-up, method of calculation and changes in its components, from publicly available information.  That information reflects the policies of, and is subject to change by, MSCI.  Neither MSCI nor Morgan Stanley has any obligation to continue to calculate and publish, and may discontinue calculation and publication of the MSCI EAFE Index.
 
The MSCI EAFE Index is intended to provide performance benchmarks for the developed equity markets in Australia and New Zealand and in Europe and Asia, which are Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
 
Index Calculation.  The performance of the MSCI EAFE Index is a free float weighted average of the U.S. dollar values of all of the equity securities (the “Component Securities”) constituting the MSCI indexes for the 21 selected countries (the “Component Country Indices”).  Each Component Country Index is a sampling of equity securities across industry groups in such country’s equity markets.  See “—Maintenance of the MSCI EAFE Index and the Component Country Indices” below.
 
 
 
PS-21


 
   
Prices used to calculate the Component Securities are the official exchange closing prices or prices accepted as such in the relevant market.  In general, all prices are taken from the main stock exchange in each market.  Closing prices are converted into U.S. dollars using the closing exchange rates calculated by The WM Company at 5 p.m. Central Europe Time.  The U.S. dollar value of the MSCI EAFE Index is calculated based on the free float-adjusted market capitalization in U.S. dollars of the Component Securities. The MSCI EAFE Index was launched on December 31, 1969 at an initial value of 100.
 
Maintenance of the MSCI EAFE Index and the Component Country Indices.  In order to maintain the representativeness of the MSCI EAFE Index, structural changes to the MSCI EAFE Index as a whole may be made by adding or deleting Component Country Indices and the related Component Securities.  Currently, such changes in the MSCI EAFE Index may only be made on four dates throughout the year: after the last scheduled index close of each February, May, August and November.
 
MSCI may add additional Component Country Indices to the MSCI EAFE Index or subtract one or more of its current Component Country Indices prior to the expiration of the Securities.  Any such adjustments are made to the MSCI EAFE Index so that the value of the MSCI EAFE Index at the effective date of such change is the same as it was immediately prior to such change.
 
Each Component Country Index is maintained with the objective of reflecting, on a timely basis, the evolution of the underlying equity markets.  In maintaining each Component Country Index, emphasis is also placed on its continuity, replicability and on minimizing turnover in the MSCI EAFE Index.
 
MSCI classifies index maintenance in three broad categories.  The first consists of ongoing event-related changes, such as mergers and acquisitions, which are generally implemented in the indices in which they occur.  The second category consists of quarterly index reviews, aimed at promptly reflecting other significant market events.  The third category consists of full Component Country Index reviews that systematically re-assess the various dimensions of the equity universe for all countries simultaneously and are conducted on a fixed annual timetable.
 
Ongoing event-related changes to the indices are the result of mergers, acquisitions, spin-offs, bankruptcies, reorganizations and other similar corporate events.  They can also result from capital reorganizations in the form of rights issues, bonus issues, public placements and other similar corporate actions that take place on a continuing basis.  These changes are reflected in the indices at the time of the event.  All changes resulting from corporate events are announced prior to their implementation, provided all necessary information on the event is available.
 
 
 
PS-22


 
   
The quarterly index review process is designed to ensure that the indices continue to be an accurate reflection of evolving equity markets.  This goal is achieved by rapidly reflecting significant market driven changes that were not captured in the MSCI EAFE Index at the time of their actual occurrence and that should not wait until the annual full Component Country Index review due to their importance.  These quarterly index reviews may result in additions and deletions of Component Securities from a Component Country Index and changes in “foreign inclusion factors” and in number of shares.  Additions and deletions to Component Securities may result from: the addition or deletion of securities due to the significant over- or under-representation of one or more industry groups as a result of mergers, acquisitions, restructurings or other major market events affecting the industry group; the addition or deletion of securities resulting from changes in industry classification, significant increases or decreases in free float or relaxation/removal or decreases of foreign ownership limits not implemented immediately; the additions of large companies that did not meet the minimum size criterion for inclusion at the time of their initial public offering or secondary offering; the replacement of companies which are no longer suitable industry representatives; the deletion of securities whose overall free float has fallen to less than 15% and that do not meet specified criteria; the deletion of securities that have become very small or illiquid; the replacement of securities resulting from the review of price source for Component Securities with both domestic and foreign board quotations; and the addition or deletion of securities as a result of other market events.  Significant changes in free float estimates and corresponding changes in the foreign inclusion factor for Component Securities may result from: large market transactions involving strategic shareholders that are publicly announced; secondary offerings that, given lack of sufficient notice, were not reflected immediately; increases in foreign ownership limits; decreases in foreign ownership limits not applied earlier; corrections resulting from the reclassification of shareholders from strategic to non-strategic, and vice versa; updates to foreign inclusion factors following the public disclosure of new shareholder structures for companies involved in mergers, acquisitions or spin-offs, where different from MSCI’s pro forma free float estimate at the time of the event; large conversions of exchangeable bonds and other similar securities into already existing shares; the end of lock-up periods or expiration of loyalty incentives for non-strategic shareholders; and changes in the foreign inclusion factor as a result of other events of similar nature.  Changes in the number of shares are generally small and result from, for example, exercise of options or warrants, conversion of convertible bonds or other instruments or share buybacks.  The implementation of changes resulting from quarterly index reviews occurs on only three dates throughout the year: as of the close of the last business day of February, August and November.  The results of the quarterly index reviews are announced at least two weeks prior to their implementation.  Any country may be impacted at the quarterly index review. 
 
 
PS-23


 
   
The annual full Component Country Index review includes a re-appraisal of the free float-adjusted industry group representation within a country relative to the 85% target, a detailed review of the shareholder information used to estimate free float for Component and non-Component Securities, updating the minimum size guidelines for new and existing Component Securities, as well as changes typically considered for quarterly index reviews.  During a full Component Country Index review, securities may be added or deleted from a Component Country Index for a range of reasons, including the reasons discussed in the preceding sentence and the reasons for Component Securities changes during quarterly index reviews as discussed above.  The results of the annual full Component Country Index reviews are announced at least two weeks in advance of their effective implementation date as of the close of the last business day in May.
 
Index maintenance also includes monitoring and completing the adjustments for share changes, stock splits, stock dividends, and stock price adjustments due to company restructurings or spinoffs.  Index maintenance of the Component Country Indices is reflected in the MSCI EAFE Index.
 
Selection of Component Securities and Calculating and Adjusting for Free Float.  The selection of the Component Securities for each Component Country Index is based on the following guidelines:
 
   
(i)         Define the universe of listed securities within each country;
 
(ii)         Adjust the total market capitalization for each security for its respective free float available to foreign investors;
 
(iii)         Classify securities into industry groups under the Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS); and
 
(iv)        Select securities for inclusion according to MSCI’s index construction rules and guidelines.
 
To determine the free float of a security, MSCI considers the proportion of shares of such security available for purchase in the public equity markets by international investors.  In practice, limitations on the investment opportunities for international investors include: strategic stakes in a company held by private or public shareholders whose investment objective indicates that the shares held are not likely to be available in the market; limits on the proportion of a security’s share capital authorized for purchase by non-domestic investors; or other foreign investment restrictions which materially limit the ability of foreign investors to freely invest in a particular equity market, sector or security.
 
MSCI will then derive a “foreign inclusion factor” for the company that reflects the percentage of the total number of shares of the company that are not subject to strategic shareholdings and/or foreign shareholder ownership or investment limits.  MSCI will then “float-adjust” the weight of each constituent company in
 
 
 
PS-24


 
   
an index by the company’s foreign inclusion factor.  Typically, securities with a free float adjustment ratio of .15 or less will not be eligible for inclusion in MSCI’s indices.
 
Once the free float factor has been determined for a security, the security’s total market capitalization is then adjusted by such free float factor, resulting in the free float-adjusted market capitalization figure for the security.
 
These guidelines and the policies implementing the guidelines are the responsibility of, and, ultimately, subject to adjustment by, MSCI.
 
The MSCI EAFE Index is Subject to Currency Exchange Risk.  Because the closing prices of the Component Securities are converted into U.S. dollars for purposes of calculating the value of the MSCI EAFE Index, investors in the PLUS will be exposed to currency exchange rate risk with respect to each of the currencies in which the Component Securities trade.  Exposure to currency changes will depend on the extent to which such currencies strengthen or weaken against the U.S. dollar and the relative weight of the Component Securities in the MSCI EAFE Index denominated in each such currency.  The devaluation of the U.S. dollar against the currencies in which the Component Securities trade will result in an increase in the value of the MSCI EAFE Index.  Conversely, if the U.S. dollar strengthens against such currencies, the value of the MSCI EAFE Index will be adversely affected and may reduce or eliminate any return on your investment.  Fluctuations in currency exchange rates can have a continuing impact on the value of the MSCI EAFE Index, and any negative currency impact on the MSCI EAFE Index may significantly decrease the value of the PLUS.  The return on an index composed of the Component Securities where the closing price is not converted into U.S. dollars can be significantly different than the return on the MSCI EAFE Index, which is converted into U.S. dollars.
 
Affiliation of MSCI, MS & Co. and Morgan Stanley.  Each of MSCI and MS & Co. is a majority-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley.  MSCI is responsible for the MSCI EAFE Index and the guidelines and policies governing its composition and calculation.  Although judgments, policies and determinations concerning the MSCI EAFE Index are made solely by MSCI, Morgan Stanley, as the parent company of MSCI, is ultimately responsible for MSCI.  MSCI® is a registered trademark and service mark of MSCI.
 
BECAUSE EACH OF MSCI AND MS & CO. IS A SUBSIDIARY OF MORGAN STANLEY, THE ECONOMIC INTERESTS OF MSCI AND MS & CO. MAY BE ADVERSE TO THE INVESTORS IN THE PLUS, INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN DETERMINATIONS AND JUDGMENTS MADE IN DETERMINING THE MSCI EAFE INDEX.  THE POLICIES AND JUDGMENTS FOR WHICH MSCI IS RESPONSIBLE CONCERNING ADDITIONS, DELETIONS AND SUBSTITUTIONS OF THE COMPONENT COUNTRY INDICES AND CORRESPONDING COMPONENT 
 
 
PS-25


 
   
SECURITIES COMPRISING THE MSCI EAFE INDEX AND THE MANNER IN WHICH CERTAIN CHANGES AFFECTING SUCH COMPONENT SECURITIES ARE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT MAY AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE MSCI EAFE INDEX.  FURTHERMORE, THE POLICIES AND JUDGMENTS FOR WHICH MSCI IS RESPONSIBLE WITH RESPECT TO THE CALCULATION OF THE MSCI EAFE INDEX, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE SELECTION OF THE FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATES USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF ESTABLISHING THE DAILY PRICES OF THE COMPONENT SECURITIES, COULD ALSO AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE MSCI EAFE INDEX.  IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE THAT MSCI MAY DISCONTINUE OR SUSPEND CALCULATION OR DISSEMINATION OF THE MSCI EAFE INDEX AND THAT, CONSEQUENTLY, MS & CO., AS CALCULATION AGENT, ALSO AN AFFILIATE OF MORGAN STANLEY, WOULD HAVE TO SELECT A SUCCESSOR OR SUBSTITUTE INDEX FROM WHICH TO CALCULATE THE RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT.  ANY SUCH ACTIONS OR JUDGMENTS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE PLUS.
 
MSCI maintains policies and procedures regarding the handling and use of confidential proprietary information, and those policies and procedures will be in effect throughout the term of the PLUS to restrict the use of information relating to the calculation of the MSCI EAFE Index prior to its dissemination.
 
It is also possible that any advisory services that our affiliates provide in the course of any business with the issuers of the Component Securities could lead to actions on the part of such underlying issuers which might adversely affect the value of the MSCI EAFE Index.
 
Historical Information
 
 
The following table sets forth the published high and low Closing Prices, as well as end-of-quarter Closing Prices, of the Underlying Shares for each quarter in the period from January 1, 2002 through October 24, 2007.  The Closing Price on October 24, 2007 was $83.07.  We obtained the information in the table below from Bloomberg Financial Markets, without independent verification.  The historical prices of the Underlying Shares should not be taken as an indication of future performance, and no assurance can be given as to the price of the Underlying Shares on the Valuation Date.  The price of the Underlying Shares may decrease so that you will receive a Payment at Maturity that is less than the principal amount of the PLUS.  We cannot give you any assurance that the price of the Underlying Shares will increase so that at maturity you will receive a payment in excess of the principal amount of the PLUS.  Because of the Leverage Factor, the Maximum Payment at Maturity will be reached at a Final Share Price of 109.5% of the Initial Share Price.  In addition, you will not share in increases in the Final Share Price above 109.5% of the Initial Share Price.  Because your return is linked to the price of the Underlying Shares on the Valuation Date, there is no guaranteed return of principal.

Use of Proceeds and Hedging
 
 
The net proceeds we receive from the sale of the PLUS will be used for general corporate purposes and, in part, in connection with hedging our obligations under the PLUS through one or more of our subsidiaries.  The Issue Price of the PLUS includes the Agent’s Commissions (as shown on the cover page of this pricing supplement) paid with respect to the PLUS and the cost of hedging our obligations under the PLUS.  The cost of hedging includes the projected profit that our subsidiaries expect to realize in consideration for assuming the risks inherent in managing the hedging transactions.  Since hedging our obligations entails risk and may be influenced by market forces beyond our or our subsidiaries’ control, such hedging may result in a profit that is more or less than initially projected, or could result in a loss.  See also “Use of Proceeds” in the accompanying prospectus.
 
On or prior to the day we priced the PLUS for initial sale to the public, we, through our subsidiaries or others, hedged our anticipated exposure in connection with the PLUS by taking positions in the Underlying Shares, in options contracts on the Underlying Shares or positions in any other available securities or instruments that we may wish to use in connection with such hedging. Such purchase activity could have increased the price of the Underlying Shares, and therefore effectively increased the price at which the Underlying Shares must close before you would receive at maturity a payment that exceeds the principal amount of the PLUS.  In addition, through our subsidiaries, we are likely to modify our hedge position throughout the life of the PLUS by purchasing and selling the Underlying Shares, options contracts relating to the Underlying Shares or any other available securities or instruments that we may wish to use in connection with such hedging activities, including by selling any such securities or instruments on the Valuation Date.  We cannot give any assurance that our hedging activity will not affect the price of the Underlying Shares and, therefore, adversely affect the value of the PLUS or the payment you will receive at maturity.
 
Supplemental Information Concerning
   
Plan of Distribution
 
 
Under the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the U.S. distribution agreement referred to in the prospectus supplement under “Plan of Distribution,” the Agent, acting as principal for its own account, has agreed to purchase, and we have agreed to sell, the principal amount of PLUS set forth on the cover of this pricing supplement; provided that the price to public and the agent’s commissions for the purchase by any single investor of between $1,000,000 and $2,999,999 principal amount of PLUS will be $9.975 per PLUS and $0.125 per PLUS, respectively, for the purchase by any single investor of between $3,000,000 and $4,999,999 principal amount of PLUS will be $9.9625 per PLUS and $0.1125 per PLUS, respectively, and for the purchase by any single investor of $5,000,000 or more principal amount of PLUS will be $9.95 per PLUS and $0.10 per PLUS, respectively.  The Agent proposes initially to offer the PLUS directly to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this pricing supplement.  The Agent may allow a concession not in excess of $0.15 per PLUS to other dealers, which may include Morgan
 
 
 
PS-28


 
    Stanley & Co. International plc and Bank Morgan Stanley AG; provided that, concessions allowed to dealers in connection with the offering may be reclaimed by the Agent if, within 30 days of the offering, the Agent repurchases PLUS distributed by such dealers.  After the initial offering of the PLUS, the Agent may vary the offering price and other selling terms from time to time. 
     
   
We expect to deliver the PLUS against payment therefor in New York, New York on October 31, 2007, which will be the fifth scheduled Business Day following the date of this pricing supplement and of the pricing of the PLUS.
 
In order to facilitate the offering of the PLUS, the Agent may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the PLUS or the price of the Underlying Shares.  Specifically, the Agent may sell more PLUS than it is obligated to purchase in connection with the offering or may sell Underlying Shares or individual stocks underlying the MSCI EAFE Index it does not own, creating a naked short position in the PLUS, the Underlying Shares or the individual stocks underlying the MSCI EAFE Index, respectively, for its own account.  The Agent must close out any naked short position by purchasing the PLUS, Underlying Shares or the individual stocks underlying the MSCI EAFE Index in the open market.  A naked short position is more likely to be created if the Agent is concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the PLUS, the Underlying Shares or the individual stocks underlying the MSCI EAFE Index in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.  As an additional means of facilitating the offering, the Agent may bid for, and purchase, the PLUS, Underlying Shares or the individual stocks underlying the MSCI EAFE Index in the open market to stabilize the price of the PLUS.  Any of these activities may raise or maintain the market price of the PLUS above independent market prices or prevent or retard a decline in the market price of the PLUS.  The Agent is not required to engage in these activities, and may end any of these activities at any time.  An affiliate of the Agent has entered into a hedging transaction with us in connection with this offering of PLUS.  See “—Use of Proceeds and Hedging” above.
 
General
 
No action has been or will be taken by us, the Agent or any dealer that would permit a public offering of the PLUS or possession or distribution of this pricing supplement or the accompanying prospectus supplement or prospectus in any jurisdiction, other than the United States, where action for that purpose is required.  No offers, sales or deliveries of the PLUS, or distribution of this pricing supplement or the accompanying prospectus supplement or prospectus or any other offering material relating to the PLUS, may be made in or from any jurisdiction except in circumstances which will result in compliance with any applicable laws and regulations and will not impose any obligations on us, the Agent or any dealer.

ERISA Matters for Pension Plans and
   
Insurance Companies
 
 
Each fiduciary of a pension, profit-sharing or other employee benefit plan subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) (a “Plan”), should consider the fiduciary standards of ERISA in the context of the Plan’s particular circumstances before authorizing an investment in the PLUS.  Accordingly, among other factors, the fiduciary should consider whether the investment would satisfy the prudence and diversification requirements of ERISA and would be consistent with the documents and instruments governing the Plan.
 
In addition, we and certain of our subsidiaries and affiliates, including MS & Co. may be considered a “party in interest” within the meaning of ERISA, or a “disqualified person” within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), with respect to many Plans, as well as many individual retirement accounts and Keogh plans (also “Plans”).  Prohibited transactions within the meaning of ERISA or the Code would likely arise, for example, if the PLUS are acquired by or with the assets of a Plan with respect to which MS & Co. or any of its affiliates is a service provider or other party in interest, unless the PLUS are acquired pursuant to an exemption from the “prohibited transaction” rules.  A violation of these “prohibited transaction” rules could result in an excise tax or other liabilities under ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code for such persons, unless exemptive relief is available under an applicable statutory or administrative exemption.
 
 
 
PS-31


 
   
The U.S. Department of Labor has issued five prohibited transaction class exemptions (“PTCEs”) that may provide exemptive relief for direct or indirect prohibited transactions resulting from the purchase or holding of the PLUS.  Those class exemptions are PTCE 96-23 (for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), PTCE 95-60 (for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTCE 91-38 (for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds), PTCE 90-1 (for certain transactions involving insurance company separate accounts) and PTCE 84-14 (for certain transactions determined by independent qualified asset managers).  In addition, ERISA Section 408(b)(17) provides an exemption for the purchase and sale of securities and related lending transactions, provided that neither the issuer of the securities nor any of its affiliates have or exercise any discretionary authority or control or render any investment advice with respect to the assets of any Plan involved in the transaction, and provided further that the Plan pays no more than “adequate consideration” (to be defined in regulations to be issued by the Secretary of the Department of Labor) in connection with the transaction (the so-called “service provider” exemption).
 
Because we may be considered a party in interest with respect to many Plans, the PLUS may not be purchased, held or disposed of by any Plan, any entity whose underlying assets include “plan assets” by reason of any Plan’s investment in the entity (a “Plan Asset Entity”) or any person investing “plan assets” of any Plan, unless such purchase, holding or disposition is eligible for exemptive relief, including relief available under PTCEs 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1, 84-14 or the service provider exemption or such purchase, holding or disposition is otherwise not prohibited.  Any purchaser, including any fiduciary purchasing on behalf of a Plan, transferee or holder of the PLUS will be deemed to have represented, in its corporate and its fiduciary capacity, by its purchase and holding of the PLUS that either (a) it is not a Plan or a Plan Asset Entity and is not purchasing such PLUS on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any Plan, or with any assets of a governmental or church plan that is subject to any federal, state or local law that is substantially similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA of Section 4975 of the Code or (b) its purchase, holding and disposition are eligible for exemptive relief or such purchase, holding and disposition are not prohibited by ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (or in the case of a governmental or church plan, any substantially similar federal, state or local law).
 
Under ERISA, assets of a Plan may include assets of certain commingled vehicles and entities in which the Plan has invested (including, in certain cases, the general account of an insurance company).  Accordingly, commingled vehicles and entities which include assets of a Plan must ensure that one of the foregoing exemptions is available.  Due to the complexity of these rules and the penalties that may be imposed upon persons involved in non-exempt prohibited transactions, it is particularly important that fiduciaries or other persons considering purchasing the PLUS on behalf of or with “plan assets” of any Plan consult with their  
 
 
PS-32


 
   
counsel regarding the availability of exemptive relief under any available exemptions, such as PTCEs 96-23, 95-60, 91-38, 90-1 or 84-14 or the service provider exemption.
 
Purchasers of the PLUS have exclusive responsibility for ensuring that their purchase, holding and disposition of the PLUS do not violate the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA or the Code or similar regulations applicable to governmental or church plans, as described above.  The sale of any PLUS to any Plan investor is in no respect a representation by us or any of our affiliates or representatives that such an investment meets all relevant legal requirements with respect to investments by Plan investors generally or any particular Plan investor, or that such an investment is appropriate for Plan investors generally or any particular Plan investor.
 
United States Federal Income Taxation
 
 
Prospective investors should note that the discussion under the section called “United States Federal Taxation” in the accompanying prospectus supplement does not apply to the PLUS issued under this pricing supplement and is superseded by the following discussion.
 
The following are the material U.S. federal tax consequences of ownership and disposition of the PLUS.
 
This discussion only applies to initial investors in the PLUS who:
 
•   purchase the PLUS at their “issue price”; and
•  will hold the PLUS as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
 
   
This discussion does not describe all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to a holder in light of the holder’s particular circumstances or to holders subject to special rules, such as:
 
  certain financial institutions;
  insurance companies;
  dealers in securities or foreign currencies;
  investors holding the PLUS as part of a hedging transaction, “straddle,” conversion transaction or integrated transaction;
  U.S. Holders, as defined below, whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;
  partnerships or other entities classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
  regulated investment companies;
  real estate investment trusts;
  tax-exempt entities, including an “individual retirement account” or “Roth IRA” as defined in Section 408 or 408A of the Code, respectively;
  persons subject to the alternative minimum tax;
  nonresident alien individuals who have lost their U.S. citizenship or who have ceased to be taxed as U.S. resident aliens; or
 

PS-33


   
•  Non-U.S. Holders, as defined below, for whom income or gain in respect of the PLUS is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States. 
     
   
As the law applicable to the U.S. federal income taxation of instruments such as the PLUS is technical and complex, the discussion below necessarily represents only a general summary.  Moreover, the effect of any applicable state, local or foreign tax laws is not discussed.
            
This discussion is based on the Code, administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and final, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations, all as of the date hereof, changes to any of which subsequent to the date of this pricing supplement may affect the tax consequences described herein.  Persons considering the purchase of the PLUS are urged to consult their tax advisors with regard to the application of the U.S. federal tax laws to their particular situations, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdiction.
 
General
  
The PLUS should be treated as a single financial contract that is an “open transaction” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  Due to the absence of statutory, judicial or administrative authorities that directly address the characterization or treatment of the PLUS or instruments that are similar to the PLUS for U.S. federal income tax purposes, no assurance can be given that the IRS or the courts will agree with the characterization and tax treatment described herein.  Accordingly, you are urged to consult your own tax advisors regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal tax consequences of an investment in the PLUS (including alternative characterizations of the PLUS) and with respect to any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdiction.  Unless otherwise stated, the following discussion is based on the characterization and treatment of the PLUS described above.
  
Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders
 
As used herein, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of a PLUS that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
 
•  a citizen or resident of the United States;
•  a corporation, or other entity taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof; or
  an estate or trust the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source.
 
   
The term “U.S. Holder” also includes certain former citizens and residents of the United States.
 
 
 
PS-34


 
   
Tax Treatment of the PLUS

Assuming the characterization and treatment of the PLUS as set forth above is respected, the following U.S. federal income tax consequences should result.

Tax Treatment Prior to Maturity.  A U.S. Holder should not be required to recognize taxable income over the term of the PLUS prior to maturity, other than pursuant to a sale or exchange as described below.

Tax Basis.  A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the PLUS should equal the amount paid by the U.S. Holder to acquire the PLUS.

Sale, Exchange or Settlement of the PLUS.  Upon a sale or exchange of the PLUS, or upon settlement of the PLUS at maturity, a U.S. Holder should generally recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the sale, exchange or settlement and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the PLUS sold, exchanged, or settled.  Subject to the discussion below concerning the potential application of the “constructive ownership” rule under Section 1260 of the Code, any capital gain or loss recognized upon the sale, exchange or settlement of a PLUS should be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder has held the PLUS for more than one year at such time.

Potential Application of the Constructive Ownership Rule.  A “constructive ownership transaction” includes a contract under which an investor will receive payment equal to or credit for the future value of any equity interest in a regulated investment company (such as shares of the iShares MSCI EAFE Fund (the “Underlying Shares”)).  Under the “constructive ownership” rule, if an investment in the PLUS is treated as a “constructive ownership transaction,” any long-term capital gain recognized by a U.S. Holder in respect of a PLUS will be recharacterized as ordinary income to the extent such gain exceeds the amount of “net underlying long-term capital gain” (as defined in Section 1260 of the Code) of the U.S. Holder, determined as if the U.S. Holder had acquired the Underlying Shares on the Original Issue Date and sold them on the date of sale, exchange or settlement of the PLUS at fair market value (the “Excess Gain”).  In addition, an interest charge will also apply to any deemed underpayment of tax in respect of any Excess Gain to the extent such gain would have resulted in gross income inclusion for the U.S. Holder in taxable years prior to the taxable year of the sale, exchange or settlement of the PLUS (assuming such income accrued at a constant rate equal to the applicable federal rate as of the date of sale, exchange or settlement of the PLUS).

Although the matter is not clear, there is a substantial risk that an investment in the PLUS will be treated as a “constructive ownership transaction.”  If such treatment applies, it is not clear to what extent any long-term capital gain of a U.S. Holder in respect of the PLUS will be recharacterized as ordinary income.  It is

possible, for example, that the amount of the Excess Gain (if any) that would be recharacterized as ordinary income in respect of each PLUS will equal the excess of (i) any long-term capital gain recognized by the U.S. Holder in respect of the PLUS (which, subject to the maximum payment at maturity, reflects two times the percentage increase in the value of the Underlying Shares over the term of the PLUS) over (ii) the “net underlying long-term capital gain” such U.S. Holder would have had if such U.S. Holder had acquired an amount of the Underlying Shares at fair market value on the Original Issue Date for an amount equal to the “issue price” of the PLUS and sold such amount of Underlying Shares upon the date of sale, exchange or settlement of the PLUS at fair market value (which would reflect the percentage increase in the value of the Underlying Shares over the term of the PLUS).  Accordingly, U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of the “constructive ownership” rule.

Possible Alternative Tax Treatments of an Investment in the PLUS

Due to the absence of authorities that directly address the proper characterization or treatment of the PLUS, no assurance can be given that the IRS will accept, or that a court will uphold, the characterization and treatment described above.  In particular, the IRS could seek to analyze the U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning a PLUS under Treasury regulations governing contingent payment debt instruments (the “Contingent Debt Regulations”).

If the IRS were successful in asserting that the Contingent Debt Regulations apply to the PLUS, the timing and character of income thereon would be significantly affected.  Among other things, a U.S. Holder would be required to accrue original issue discount on the PLUS every year at a “comparable yield” determined at the time of their issuance.  Furthermore, any gain realized by a U.S. Holder at maturity or upon a sale or other disposition of the PLUS would generally be treated as ordinary income, and any loss realized at maturity would be treated as ordinary loss to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s prior accruals of original issue discount, and as capital loss thereafter.

Even if the Contingent Debt Regulations do not apply to the PLUS, other alternative federal income tax characterizations of the PLUS are also possible, which if applied could also affect the timing and character of the income or loss with respect to the PLUS.  It is possible, for example, that a PLUS could be treated as a unit consisting of a loan and a forward contract, in which case a U.S. Holder would be required to accrue original issue discount as income on a current basis.  Accordingly, prospective investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding all aspects of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of an investment in the PLUS.

    Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Backup withholding may apply in respect of the amounts paid to a U.S. Holder, unless such U.S. Holder provides proof of an applicable exemption or a correct taxpayer identification number, or otherwise complies with applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. The amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules are not an additional tax and may be refunded, or credited against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS.  In addition,  information returns will be filed with the IRS in connection with payments on the PLUS and the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of the PLUS, unless the U.S. Holder provides proof of an applicable exemption from the information reporting rules.

Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders

This section only applies to you if you are a Non-U.S. Holder.  As used herein, the term “Non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of a PLUS that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

•  an individual who is classified as a nonresident alien;
•  a foreign corporation; or
  a foreign trust or estate.

“Non-U.S. Holder” does not include a holder who is an individual present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition and who is not otherwise a resident of the United States for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  Such a holder is urged to consult his or her own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the sale, exchange or other disposition of a PLUS.

Tax Treatment upon Sale, Exchange or Settlement of the PLUS

In general.  Assuming the characterization and treatment of the PLUS as set forth above is respected, a Non-U.S. Holder of the PLUS will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax in respect of amounts paid to the Non-U.S. Holder.

If all or any portion of a PLUS were recharacterized as a debt instrument, any payment made to a Non-U.S. Holder with respect to the PLUS would not be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax, provided that:

•  the Non-U.S. Holder does not own, directly or by attribution, ten percent or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock entitled to vote;

•  the Non-U.S. Holder is not a controlled foreign corporation related, directly or indirectly, to us through stock ownership;

•  the Non-U.S. Holder is not a bank receiving interest under Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code; and

  the certification requirement described below has been fulfilled with respect to the beneficial owner.

Certification Requirement.  The certification requirement referred to in the preceding paragraph will be fulfilled if the beneficial owner of a PLUS (or a financial institution holding the PLUS on behalf of the beneficial owner) furnishes to us an IRS Form W-8BEN, on which the beneficial owner certifies under penalties of perjury that it is not a U.S. person.

U.S. Federal Estate Tax

Individual Non-U.S. Holders and entities the property of which is potentially includible in such an individual’s gross estate for U.S. federal estate tax purposes (for example, a trust funded by such an individual and with respect to which the individual has retained certain interests or powers), should note that, absent an applicable treaty benefit, the PLUS are likely to be treated as U.S. situs property subject to U.S. federal estate tax.  Prospective investors that are non-U.S. individuals, or are entities of the type described above, are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal estate tax consequences of investing in the PLUS.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Information returns may be filed with the IRS in connection with the payment on the PLUS at maturity as well as in connection with the proceeds from a sale, exchange or other disposition.  A Non-U.S. Holder may be subject to backup withholding in respect of amounts paid to the Non-U.S. Holder, unless such Non-U.S. Holder complies with certification procedures to establish that it is not a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise establishes an exemption.  The certification procedures described above under “Tax Treatment upon Sale, Exchange or Settlement of the PLUS Certification Requirement” will satisfy the certification requirements necessary to avoid the backup withholding as well.  The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a Non-U.S. Holder will be allowed as a credit against the Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle the Non-U.S. Holder to a refund, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS.
