           Salomon Inc hereby amends its Statement on Schedule 13D
relating to the Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of Valero
Energy Corporation (formerly Valero Refining and Marketing
Company) (the "Issuer") dated August 11, 1997 (as amended by an
Amendment No. 1, dated September 15, 1997, the "Schedule 13D"),
as set forth below. All terms defined in the Schedule 13D have
the same meaning in this Amendment No. 2.

Item 4.    Purpose of Transaction.

           The fourth sentence of the third paragraph of this
item as set forth in the Schedule 13D is hereby deleted and the
following is inserted at the end of this item:

           "In accordance with the discussions between the Issuer
and Salomon Inc referred to in the foregoing paragraph, the
Issuer and Salomon Inc have entered into a First Amendment and
Waiver, dated as of September 22, 1997 (the "Waiver Agreement").
A copy of the Waiver Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 2
and is incorporated herein by reference. Under the Waiver
Agreement, the Issuer has agreed, among other things, to waive
(x) the lock-up provisions of the Stockholder Agreement so as to
permit the sale by Salomon Inc of all, but not fewer than all, of
Salomon Inc's shares of Common Stock (the "Salomon Shares") in a
transaction or series of related transactions (i) consummated
prior to September 30, 1997, (ii) resulting in gross cash
proceeds to Salomon Inc of not less than $33.00 per share of
Common Stock and (iii) involving a bona fide, broad public
offering and distribution of such shares and (y) the Issuer's
right of first offer with respect to such shares. Accordingly,
Salomon Inc has sold all of the Salomon Shares to third parties
in connection with a public offering (the "Offering"), in which
SBI is acting as the agent for Salomon Inc. It is anticipated
that the delivery of the Salomon Shares to the purchasers of such
shares will be made on or about September 26, 1997.

           In connection with the Offering, SBI may, in each case
in accordance with Rule 104 of Regulation M under the 1934 Act,
prevailing market conditions and SBI's judgment with respect to
the necessity and desirability thereof, (x) place or effect, as
the case may be, stabilizing bids or purchases with respect to
the Common Stock or (y) effect syndicate covering transactions to
purchase shares of Common Stock in the open market to cover all
or a portion of a short position, if any, resulting from the
Offering.

           Other than as described above, neither Salomon Inc
nor, to the best knowledge of Salomon Inc, SBI or any of the
persons listed in Annex A hereto has any plans or proposals that
relate to or would result in any transactions involving the
Issuer or any of its subsidiaries or securities of the type or
kind listed in Item 4 of Schedule 13D adopted by the SEC under
the 1934 Act."

Item 5.    Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

           (a-b) The following is inserted at the end of this item
as set forth in the Schedule 13D:


                       Page 3 of 5 Pages
<PAGE>


           "As a result of the disposition of the Salomon Shares
pursuant to the Offering, as more fully described in Item 4,
Salomon Inc beneficially owns no shares of Common Stock as of the
date hereof. Accordingly, Salomon Inc beneficially owns 0.0% of
the outstanding shares of Common Stock."

Item 6.    Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or
           Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

           This item as set forth in the Schedule 13D is deleted
and the following is inserted in its place:

           "Other than the provisions of the Stockholder
Agreement, the Waiver Agreement and the agreements, arrangements
and relationships existing or contemplated in connection with the
distribution by SBI (as the agent for Salomon Inc) of the Salomon
Shares pursuant to the Offering, as more fully described in Item
4, neither Salomon Inc nor, to the best knowledge of Salomon Inc,
SBI or any of the persons listed in Annex A hereto has any
contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal
or otherwise) with any person with respect to securities of the
Issuer."

Item 7.    Material to Be Filed as Exhibits.

           The following is inserted after Exhibit 1 of this item
as set forth in the Schedule 13D:

"Exhibit 2.   First Amendment and Waiver, dated as of September 22,
              1997, between the Issuer and Salomon Inc"

this statement is true, complete and correct.

                     FIRST AMENDMENT AND WAIVER dated as of
                September 22, 1997, to the STOCKHOLDER AGREEMENT
                dated as of May 1, 1997 (the "Original
                Agreement"), between VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION,
                formerly known as Valero Refining and Marketing
                Company, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
                and SALOMON INC, a Delaware corporation
                ("Stockholder").


           WHEREAS the Company and Stockholder are parties to the
Original Agreement, which provides, among other things, for
certain restrictions on transfer by Stockholder of the Spin-Off
Shares (capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment
and Waiver have the meanings assigned such terms in the Original
Agreement); and

           WHEREAS the Company has agreed, on the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in this Amendment and Waiver,
to waive certain of such restrictions.

           NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual
covenants and agreements set forth herein and for good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

           SECTION 1. Amendment and Waiver. (a) Notwithstanding
Section 3.02 of the Original Agreement, Stockholder may sell all,
but not less than all, the Spin-Off Shares in a transaction or
series of related transactions (a
"Permitted Transaction") that:

             (i) is consummated prior to September 30, 1997;

            (ii) results in cash proceeds to Stockholder (before
      selling commissions or discounts and other expenses) of not
      less than $33.00 per Spin-Off Share; and


<PAGE>


                                                                2

           (iii) involves a bona fide, broad public offering
      and distribution of the Spin-Off Shares.

           (b) The Company hereby waives its rights under Section
3.04 with respect to any Permitted Transaction.

           SECTION 2. Permitted Transaction Procedures. (a)
Officer's Certificate. On the settlement date for a Permitted
Transaction (the "Closing Date"), the Company shall furnish to
Stockholder a certificate of the Company, signed by the Executive
Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, in
form and substance satisfactory to Stockholder.

           (b) Opinion. On the Closing Date, the Company shall
furnish to Stockholder the opinion of Gregory C. King, General
Counsel of the Company, in form and substance satisfactory to
Stockholder.

           (c) Indemnification.

           (i) By the Company. The Company agrees, in connection
      with a Permitted Transaction, to indemnify Stockholder, its
      officers, directors, employees and agents and each Person
      who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the
      Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act)
      Stockholder or such other indemnified Person and the
      officers, directors, employees and agents of such control
      Persons or other indemnified Persons against all losses,
      claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, including,
      without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses
      (collectively, "Losses"), as incurred, caused by, resulting
      from or relating to (i) any untrue or alleged untrue
      statement of material fact contained in the Form S-1
      (including the Prospectus), the Form 10-Q or any amendment
      thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged
      omission of a material fact required to be stated therein
      or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of
      the circumstances under which they were made, not
      misleading or (ii) any violation by the


<PAGE>


                                                                3

      Company of any Federal or state law, rule or regulation
      applicable to the Company and relating to any action
      required of, or inaction required by, the Company with
      respect to the Form S-1 (including the Prospectus), the
      Form 10-Q or any amendment thereto or supplement thereof;
      provided, however, that the Company's liability under this
      indemnity shall not exceed the amount of net proceeds
      received by Stockholder from the sale of Spin-Off Shares in
      a Permitted Transaction.

          (ii) By Stockholder. In connection with a Permitted
      Transaction, Stockholder shall indemnify the Company, its
      directors, officers, employees and agents and each Person
      who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the
      Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the
      Company or such other indemnified Person and the officers,
      directors, employees and agents of such control Persons or
      other indemnified Persons against all Losses, as incurred,
      caused by, resulting from or relating to any untrue or
      alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any
      offering memorandum or other offering materials used in
      connection with a Permitted Transaction (other than any
      attachment thereto consisting of the Form S-1 or the Form
      10-Q) or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any
      omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to
      be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
      therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
      were made, not misleading, but only to the extent that such
      untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or
      omission is caused by, results from or relates to, or is
      alleged to be omitted from, the information in such
      offering memorandum or such other offering materials
      prepared or furnished by Stockholder; provided, however,
      that Stockholder shall not be liable for any claims
      hereunder in excess of the amount of net proceeds received
      by Stockholder from the sale of Spin-Off Shares in a
      Permitted Transaction.

                                                                4

         (iii) Notice.  Notice shall be in accordance with
      Section 11(g) of the Purchase Agreement.

          (iv) Defense of Actions.  Defense of actions shall
      be in accordance with Section 11(g) of the Purchase
      Agreement.

           (v) Survival. The indemnification provided for herein
      shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any
      investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified
      Person and will survive the transfer of the Spin-Off
      Shares.

          (vi) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for
      in this Section 2(c) is unavailable to an indemnified party
      or is insufficient to hold such indemnified party harmless
      for any Losses in respect of which this Section 2(c) would
      otherwise apply by its terms, then the indemnifying party,
      in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall
      contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
      indemnified party as a result of such Losses, in such
      proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault
      of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such
      indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with
      the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such
      Losses as well as any other relevant equitable
      considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying
      party, on the one hand, and the indemnified party, on the
      other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among
      other things, whether any action in question, including any
      untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or
      omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has
      been taken by, or relates to information supplied by, each
      indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the parties'
      relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
      opportunity to correct or prevent any such action,
      statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a
      party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include
      any legal or other fees or expenses


<PAGE>


                                                                5

      incurred by such party, to the extent such party would have
      been indemnified for such expenses if the indemnification
      provided for in Section 2(c)(i) or 2(c)(ii) was available
      to such party. The parties hereto agree that it would not
      be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this
      Section 2(c)(vi) were determined by pro rata allocation or
      by any other method of allocation that does not take
      account of the equitable considerations referred to in this
      Section 2(c)(vi). No person guilty of fraudulent
      misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
      the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from
      any Person who was not found guilty of such fraudulent
      misrepresentation.

           SECTION 3.  Miscellaneous.  (a) Except as
expressly set forth in this Amendment and Waiver, all the
provisions of the Original Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect.

           (b) This Amendment and Waiver and all the provisions
hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, successors
and permitted assigns, but, except as expressly contemplated
herein, neither this Amendment and Waiver nor any of the rights,
interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, directly or
indirectly, by the Company or Stockholder without the prior
written consent of the other.

           (c) This Amendment and Waiver may be executed in
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all
of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

           (d) THIS AMENDMENT AND WAIVER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE
PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW THEREOF.


           IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned hereby agree to be
bound by the terms and provisions of this Amendment and Waiver as
