The initial price to public set forth above does not include accrued interest, if any. Interest on the notes will accrue from
November 30, 2017 and must be paid by the purchaser if the notes are delivered after November 30, 2017. In addition to offers and sales
at the initial price to public, the underwriters may offer the notes from time to time for sale in one or more transactions at market prices
prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to market prices or at negotiated prices.
The return (whether positive or negative) on your investment in notes will depend in part on the issue price you pay for such notes.
If interest rates increase, in most cases the market value of the notes will decrease and, if you sell the notes prior to maturity, you
will receive less than the principal amount of the notes.

Book-Entry System
We will issue the notes as a master global note registered in the name of DTC, or its nominee. The sale of the notes will settle in
immediately available funds through DTC. You will not be permitted to withdraw the notes from DTC except in the limited situations
described in the accompanying prospectus under "Legal Ownership and Book-Entry Issuance -- What Is a Global Security? -- Holder's
Option to Obtain a Non-Global Security; Special Situations When a Global Security Will Be Terminated". Investors may hold interests in a
master global note through organizations that participate, directly or indirectly, in the DTC system.
In addition to this pricing supplement, the following provisions are hereby incorporated into the global master note: the description of
New York business day appearing under "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer -- Calculations of Interest on Debt Securities --
Business Days" in the accompanying prospectus, the description of the following unadjusted business day convention appearing under
"Description of Debt Securities We May Offer -- Calculations of Interest on Debt Securities -- Business Day Conventions" in the
accompanying prospectus and the section "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer -- Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance" in the
accompanying prospectus.
Day Count Convention
As further described under "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer -- Calculations of Interest on Debt Securities -- Interest
Rates and Interest" in the accompanying prospectus, for each interest period the amount of accrued interest will be calculated by
multiplying the principal amount of the note by an accrued interest factor for the interest period. The accrued interest factor will be
determined by multiplying the per annum interest rate by a factor resulting from the 30/360 (ISDA) day count convention. The factor is the
number of days in the interest period in respect of which payment is being made divided by 360, calculated on a formula basis as follows:

[360 × (Y2 ­ Y1)] + [30 × (M2 ­ M1)] + (D2 ­ D1)


360
w he re :
"Y1" is the year, expressed as a number, in which the first day of the interest period falls;

Pricing Supplement No. 79 dated November 28, 2017
"Y2" is the year, expressed as a number, in which the day immediately following the last day included in the interest period falls;
"M1" is the calendar month, expressed as a number, in which the first day of the interest period falls;
"M2" is the calendar month, expressed as a number, in which the day immediately following the last day included in the interest
period falls;
"D1" is the first calendar day, expressed as a number, of the interest period, unless such number would be 31, in which case D1
will be 30; and
"D2" is the calendar day, expressed as a number, immediately following the last day included in the interest period, unless such
number would be 31 and D1 is greater than 29, in which case D2 will be 30.
When We Can Redeem the Notes
We will be permitted to redeem the notes at our option before their stated maturity, as described below. The notes will not be entitled
to the benefit of any sinking fund -- that is, we will not deposit money on a regular basis into any separate custodial account to repay your
note. In addition, you will not be entitled to require us to buy your note from you before its stated maturity.
We will have the right to redeem the notes at our option, in whole but not in part, on the last calendar day of each February and
each May 30, August 30 and November 30 on or after November 30, 2018, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the outstanding
principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to but excluding the redemption date. We will provide not less than five business days'
prior notice in the manner described under "Description of Debt Securities We May Offer -- Notices" in the attached prospectus. If the
redemption notice is given and funds deposited as required, then interest will cease to accrue on and after the redemption date on the
notes. If any

PS-5
redemption date is not a business day, we will pay the redemption price on the next business day without any interest or other payment
due to the delay.
Due to the 30/360 (ISDA) day count convention, the factor used to determine the interest due upon a redemption in February will be
less than 90/360.

What are the Tax Consequences of the Notes
You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters set forth under "United States Taxation" in the accompanying
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The following discussion summarizes certain of the material U.S. federal
income tax consequences of the purchase, beneficial ownership, and disposition of each of the notes. This summary supplements the
section "United States Taxation" in the accompanying prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and is subject to the
limitations and exceptions set forth therein.

PS-6
As of the original issue date, the notes should not be treated as issued with "original issue discount" ("OID") despite the fact that the
interest rate on the notes is scheduled to step-up over the term of the notes because Treasury regulations generally deem an issuer to
exercise a call option in a manner that minimizes the yield on the debt instrument for purposes of determining whether a debt instrument
is issued with OID. The yield on the notes would be minimized if we call the notes immediately before the increase in the interest rate on
November 30, 2027 and therefore the notes should be treated as maturing on such date for OID purposes. This assumption is made
solely for purposes of determining whether the notes are issued with OID for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and is not an indication of
our intention to call or not to call the notes at any time. If we do not call the notes prior to the increase in the interest rate then, solely for
OID purposes, the notes will be deemed to be reissued at their adjusted issue price on November 30, 2027. This deemed issuance should
not give rise to taxable gain or loss to holders. The same analysis would apply to the increase in the interest rate on November 30, 2032.
Under this approach, interest on a note will be taxable to a U.S. holder as ordinary interest income at the time it accrues or is
received in accordance with the U.S. holder's normal method of accounting for tax purposes (regardless of whether we call the notes).
Upon the disposition of a note by sale, exchange, redemption or retirement (i.e., if we exercise our right to call the notes or otherwise) or
other disposition, a U.S. holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the amount realized
on the disposition (other than amounts attributable to accrued but unpaid interest, which would be treated as such) and (ii) the U.S.
holder's adjusted tax basis in the note. A U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in a note generally will equal the cost of the note (net of
accrued interest) to the U.S. holder. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to significant limitations.
Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) Withholding. Pursuant to Treasury regulations, Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act
(FATCA) withholding (as described in "United States Taxation -- Taxation of Debt Securities -- Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act
(FATCA) Withholding" in the accompanying prospectus) will generally apply to obligations that are issued on or after July 1, 2014;
therefore, the notes will generally be subject to FATCA withholding. However, according to published guidance, the withholding tax
described above will not apply to payments of gross proceeds from the sale, exchange, redemption or other disposition of the notes made
before January 1, 2019.

banking and general financing and banking services to The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. and its affiliates, for which they have in the past
