   FUND AMERICAN SEEKS SHAREHOLDERS' REPRESENTATION ON LOUISIANA LAND BOARD

NORWICH, VT - November 16, 1995 -- Fund American Enterprises Holdings, Inc. 
announced that it has amended its Schedule 13D filing with the Securities and 
Exchange Commission related to the Company's investment in The Louisiana Land & 
Exploration Company. Fund American currently owns 8.75% of the outstanding 
common shares of Louisiana Land.

To enhance shareholder representation on the Louisiana Land Board, Fund American
has asked Louisiana Land to add to its Board three designees selected by Fund 
American. The Fund American designees will be experienced businessmen who will 
add to the Louisiana Land Board significant insight regarding the creation of 
shareholder value.

In a letter to Louisiana Land Chairman, H. Leighton Steward, filed with the SEC
as part of the Schedule 13D amendment, Fund American Chairman, Jack Byrne said,
"For years we have been concerned about Louisiana Land's disappointing earnings
performance and management's continued extensive commitment of capital to an
exploration, development and property acquisition program which has failed to
produce satisfactory results." The letter goes on to note that, over the last
five fiscal years, Louisiana Land has produced over $1 billion of operating cash
flows but, after the costs of exploration and development, has reported an
aggregate net loss of about $150 million. Mr. Byrne also said, "Our
dissatisfaction with Louisiana Land's performance, and with the absence of focus
by the Board on enhancement of shareholder value, has reached the point that we
think the time has come for some changes in the Company's Board of Directors."

Louisiana Land has said, through a press release, that it will be in contact
with Fund American in the near future regarding this proposal. Fund American
believes that a timely and favorable response to the proposal is the most
effective way to serve the owners' interests. In the Schedule 13D filing, Fund
American said that it will continue to consider all alternative courses of
action to enhance value for Louisiana Land's shareholders.

Fund American has retained investment advisor Petrie Parkman & Co. and the law 
firm of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett as its advisors in this matter.
