Item 1 is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

"Item 1.  Description of Proposed Transaction:
- ---------------------------------------------

      NEERI is pursuing a joint arrangement with Separation Technologies,
Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (STI), and the developer of a process for
separating unburned carbon from coal ash.  In connection with this joint
arrangement, NEERI will be called on to invest in STI projects and to provide
certain consulting services to STI.

      The STI Technology
      ------------------

      In New England, a large amount of electrical generation is coal-fired,
resulting in coal ash waste products.  Ash from burning coal and oil accounts
for the largest volume of solid wastes produced by generating facilities owned
by New England Power Company (NEP), an affiliate of NEERI.  Given this large
quantity of ash, it is highly desirable to encourage the development of
recycling techniques to convert this ash waste to productive uses.  As part of
NEESPLAN 4, the System's latest planning study, the System has established
coal ash recycling as a key initiative and has a stated goal of recycling 100%
of its coal ash by the year 2000.  NEP has entered into a contract with STI to
permit STI to process ash waste from its Salem Harbor generating station and
is negotiating a contract with STI for its Brayton Point generating station. 
NEP's contracts with STI do not involve any equity participation by NEP. 
Although NEP desires the continued development of coal ash recycling
technology, NEP does not believe that this development would be an appropriate
risk to be supported by its electric customers.

      STI has developed a system of economically separating unburned carbon
from coal (or fly) ash produced by utility generating plants.  The separated
carbon can be reburned by the utility.  The processed ash can be sold as a
cement substitute in the manufacture of concrete.  In order to be viable as a
cement substitute, processed ash must have a carbon content of 3% or less;
STI's technology is capable of consistently and economically producing
processed ash of this quality.  Additional technical details concerning STI's
technology are provided in Exhibit J hereto.

      NEERI's participation in this joint arrangement with STI is functionally
related to the System in that it will promote the continued development of
technology for reducing waste ash disposal costs, and will reduce fuel costs
through the reburning of carbon.  NEERI's work with STI will also enable the
System to further its solid waste recycling efforts committed to as part of
its NEESPLAN 4 planning study.

      NEP's electrical generation activities at its Salem Harbor and Brayton
Point generating facilities produce approximately 300,000 tons of coal ash
annually.  NEP, in addressing  the disposal issue raised by these ash
byproducts, decided to explore STI's coal ash processing concepts at NEP's
Salem Harbor plant.  As a result, the first commercial-scale continuous
demonstration and test of a carbon separation process was achieved through STI
and NEP's joint efforts.  This project required the fabrication of processing
equipment for, and site preparation at, Salem Harbor.  The demonstration and
test of the ash processing installation proved the viability of the concept
and suggested areas for technical enhancement.  NEP plans to adapt the
processing equipment for use as a production unit in the recycling of
processed ash from Salem Harbor.  NEP is negotiating to install similar ash
processing equipment at its Brayton Point facility.  

      The development of the commercial scale ash processing system at Salem
Harbor was a natural outgrowth of NEP's desire to recycle ash produced as a
byproduct of its electrical generation business.  NEP's contributions to the 
<PAGE>
fabrication and test of the ash processing equipment helped STI to prove the
commercial viability of its process for other major coal-fired generation
facilities.  Further improvement in ash processing technology is essential for
the NEES system to efficiently and economically meet its stated goal of
recycling 100% of its coal ash by the year 2000.  Although NEP desires such
continued development, NEP does not believe that such development is a
suitable risk to be supported by NEP's electric customers.  NEERI's affiliates
and their customers would benefit from NEERI's joint arrangement with STI by
the availability of improved ash processing technology to address their
disposal concerns and to lower fuel costs, and by taking advantage of new
markets for their processed ash streams.  Accordingly, NEERI believes that its
investment in STI meets the criteria set forth by the commission for ownership
of a non-utility functionally related business (see CSW Credit Inc. HCAR No.
25995 and Jersey Central Power & Light HCAR No. 24348) as follows:  NEERI's
investment will evolve from the overall electric utility business of the NEES
system; NEERI's investment in STI will not be significant in relation to the
system's total financial resources; and the successful development,
manufacture and marketing of STI's ash processing technology has the potential
to benefit NEERI's affiliates and their electric customers, as well as be a
beneficial investment for NEERI.

      The NE/NY Project
      -----------------
      
      As part of its joint arrangement with STI, NEERI proposes to enter into
a project with STI and STI Projects, a Florida general partnership between STI
and Oxbow Carbon International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (STIP), involving
the processing of coal ash at an electric generation facility in the New
England/New York region (the NE/NY Project) owned by a non-affiliated electric
company (Owner).  NEERI plans to invest $700,000 in the NE/NY Project in
return for 15% of the following NE/NY Project revenues for a seven-year
period:

      -     ash processing fees paid to STIP by Owner; and
      -     sales by STIP of processed ash products (both high and low carbon
            content) to third parties or to Owner.

NEERI expects to recover its investment in the NE/NY Project according to the
following schedule of payments to NEERI from STIP, STI, or both:

                  4th year after investment:  $175,000
                  5th year after investment:  $175,000
                  6th year after investment:  $175,000
                  7th year after investment:  $175,000

      NEERI shall also provide consulting services to STI and/or STIP in
connection with the NE/NY Project.  Such services may include marketing,
sales, higher value product research and development and engineering
consultation on balance of plant equipment matters.  For the NE/NY Project,
NEERI will receive $20,000 per year for the first two years of the NE/NY
Project in payment for consulting services.  NEERI will provide no more than
13 days per year of consulting services to the NE/NY Project in each of these
two years.

      The contracts between Owner and STIP and NEERI and STIP are still being
negotiated.  Exhibits L and M represent preliminary agreements between STIP
and Owner, and STIP and NEERI, respectively.   STIP will be responsible for
processing the ash at the Owner's facility.

<PAGE>
      Future Projects
      ---------------

      NEERI proposes to enter into similar joint arrangements with STI and
STIP at other locations where STI equipment will be installed.  NEERI's
investment in these other utility locations is anticipated to range between
$0.5 and $2.0 million per installation.  NEERI's investments in such future
projects with STI may take the form of, without limitation, joint ventures,
general partnerships, limited partnerships, teaming agreements, royalties or
other revenue sharing, special purpose entities, loans, and equity
participation.

      NEERI and STI intend to perform research to further refine the carbon-
rich and low carbon processed waste streams and to find other applications for
the STI separation process in recycling.  Such further refinement of the waste
streams is expected to improve the value of those waste streams and the
profitability of the STI process investments.  Examples of such higher value
waste stream products include particle size classification for higher strength
concrete products, substitutes for plastics fillers materials, and substitutes
for carbon black products.  Research in recycling will involve the use of the
STI process in plastics recycling.

      NEERI intends to offer marketing and engineering advice and consulting
services to STI and STIP.  The consulting services provided by NEERI to STI
and/or STIP will include marketing, sales, higher value product research and
development, engineering consultation on balance of plant equipment matters,
and consulting with utilities on ash stream optimization.  NEERI's consulting
fee will not exceed $2000 per day depending upon the nature of the task
undertaken by NEERI and the qualifications of individuals used by NEERI in
providing the consulting service.  

      A geographic breakdown of potential project sites is provided in Exhibit
K.  Exhibit N provides a business discussion of the risks and benefits
associated with the joint arrangement between NEERI, STI and STIP.

      Purchase of Equity in STI
      -------------------------

      NEERI intends to purchase equity shares of STI pursuant to a
subscription agreement (the Agreement) with STI.  The Agreement shall be
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit O.

      NEERI intends to buy shares of STI's 6% cumulative convertible preferred
stock (the Shares) at a price of $6.50 per share, for a total equity
investment not exceeding $1 million.  All or any portion of the Shares shall
be convertible at any time, or from time to time, at NEERI's option, into the
same number of shares of STI common stock.  The Shares will automatically
convert to shares of common stock upon the closing of an initial public
offering of STI common stock in which STI's aggregate gross proceeds from such
offering exceed $5,000,000 and in which the share offering price is $6.50 or
more.  Dividends on the Shares will accrue cumulatively at a rate of 6% per
annum of the price per Share from the date of payment for the Share to the
date of its conversion, if any, to common.  This 6% cumulative dividend is
paid in STI common shares upon conversion of the Shares to common.

      NEERI will have the right to exercise one vote per Share on all matters
submitted to a vote of STI common stock generally.  NEERI will have protection
against dilution of the Shares for a period of five years after their purchase
as provided in paragraph 4 of the Agreement.

      NEERI's investment in the Shares will result in NEERI's ownership of not
more than 5% of the voting securities of STI.  NEERI will have the option to
<PAGE>
appoint one member of the STI Board of Directors.  Currently, the STI Board of
Directors has five members; should NEERI decide to appoint a member of the STI
Board, STI will increase its Board membership.

      Authority Requested
      -------------------

      NEERI requests authorization for the following activities:

      a.    to participate in the NE/NY Project with STI and STIP;

      b.    to invest up to $700,000 in the NE/NY Project with STI and STIP.

      c.    to invest up to $2,000,000 per project in other utility coal ash
            separation projects with STI and/or STIP with a cumulative
            investment not to exceed $10 million.  NEERI's investment in such
            projects may involve the acquisition of not exceeding 9.9% of
            voting securities or interests.

      d.    to perform research and development activities in high value
            product development and recycling in an amount not to exceed
            $1 million.

      e.    to invest $1,000,000 in the purchase of the Shares.

In connection with projects which exceed the funding limits in item (c) above,
NEERI will seek further authority from the Commission prior to investing any
equity funds in such other projects.

      As NEERI enters into additional projects with STI and/or STIP, NEERI
shall provide details of these projects in its quarterly filings with the
Commission under Rule 24.  NEERI will also break down the STI and STIP
investments from its other investments in its quarterly financials filed at
that time.

      Personnel
      ---------

      No employees of NEERI's affiliated companies will be assigned to a NEERI
project if such assignment would interfere with the normal operation of NEES. 
Utility operating companies affiliated with NEERI will at all times have first
priority in the use of employees, including employees of New England Power
Service Company.  By its Order dated April 13, 1994 (Release No. 35-26017),
the Commission approved NEERI's proposal that, during the course of a calendar
year, NEERI's affiliated companies not assign more than the full-time
equivalent of five percent of their aggregate employees to service projects
for NEERI and NEERI now proposes that this restriction include the NEERI
projects involving STI and/or STIP.  

      Financing by NEES
      -----------------

      The Commission originally granted authority for NEES to provide
financing to NEERI in an amount not to exceed $1 million.  (See Order dated
September 4, 1992, Release 35-25621.)  The Commission later granted authority
for NEES to provide additional financing to NEERI in the amount of $1 million
(see Order dated April 1, 1994, Release No. 35-26017) and in the amount of
$250,000 (See Order dated May 25, 1994, Release No. 35-26057.)  NEES proposes
to provide additional financing for NEERI by making capital contributions up
to an additional $12,700,000 and/or by lending to NEERI from time to time
additional amounts not to exceed $12,700,000 at any one time, such loans to be
in the form of non-interest bearing subordinated notes.  The aggregate amount
<PAGE>
of all investments (including amounts previously authorized by the Commission)
by NEES in NEERI shall not exceed $14.95 million."


Item 3 is amended by adding the following:

      "Section 22 and Rule 104 are believed to be applicable to NEERI's and
NEES' objection to the public disclosure of Exhibits J, K, L, M, N, and O
filed herewith."


Item 6 is amended by supplying the following exhibits:

            I     Form of Subordinated Promissory Note

            J     STI Process Technical Data

            K     Potential Project Locations

            N     Discussion of Benefits and Risks

            O     Form of Subscription Agreement

      Pursuant to Section 22 and Rule 104, NEERI and NEES hereby object to the
public disclosure of any part or parts of Exhibits J, K, L, M, N and O and
request confidential treatment therefor.  The information contained in
Exhibits J, K, L, M, N and O is commercially sensitive and the public
disclosure of any information contained therein has the potential to harm the
development of commercial prospects for projects involving the STI process,
and would disclose valuable and proprietary information and techniques
developed at great cost to STI, STIP and/or others.  Since the contents of
Exhibits J, K, L, M, N, and O are of a technical nature or concern the rights
and obligations as between the private parties to the relevant agreements,
public disclosure of such information is not necessary or appropriate in the
public interest or for the protection of consumers or investors.

      FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned NEW ENGLAND ELECTRIC RESOURCES, INC.
(NEERI), a Massachusetts corporation hereby promises to pay to NEW ENGLAND
ELECTRIC SYSTEM (NEES) ON DEMAND, but in any event, no later than
______________, the principal sum of _________________________ DOLLARS
($__________) or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all
advances made by NEES to NEERI pursuant to authority granted by orders of the
Securities and Exchange Commission under the Public Utility Holding Company
Act of 1935 (the 1935 Act) without interest.  All such advances and all
payments made on account of the principal hereof shall be recorded by NEES and
endorsed on the grid attached hereto which is part of this Subordinated
Promissory Note.

                            TERMS OF SUBORDINATION

      (a)  The principal on this Subordinated Promissory Note is and shall be
subordinated in right of payment in all respects to all other indebtedness of
NEERI to any lender which is not an "affiliate" of NEERI, as that term is
defined in the 1935 Act (hereinafter, "Senior Debt").

      (b)  Without limiting the foregoing subparagraph (a), (i) no payment on
this Subordinated Promissory Note shall be made or received, directly or
indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner
(including, without limitation, from or by way of collateral), so long as any
Senior Debt remains outstanding, except that prepayments of principal on this
Subordinated Promissory Note may be made and received so long as, but only so
long as, at the time of such payments and immediately after giving effect
thereto, no Event of Default, or event which, with the giving of notice or the
lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default exists under the
provisions of any Senior Note or any other instrument evidencing Senior Debt
or any agreement under which Senior Debt is then outstanding, and (ii) in the
event of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings directly or indirectly
involving NEERI, then all principal of and interest (including, without
limitation, any and all interest which shall accrue after the filing of any
petition in bankruptcy) on, the Senior Debt shall first be paid in full before
any payment on account of principal, premium (if any) or interest is made upon
this Subordinated Promissory Note, and in any such proceedings any payment or
distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, securities or other
property, to which the holder of this Subordinated Promissory Note would be
entitled if this Subordinated Promissory Note were not subordinated to the
Senior Debt shall be made by the liquidating trustee or agent or other person
making such payment or distribution, or by the holder of this Subordinated
Promissory Note if received by him, directly to the holders of the Senior Debt
to the extent necessary to make payment in full of the Senior Debt remaining
unpaid, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or
for the holders of the Senior Debt.

      (c)  The foregoing provisions regarding subordination are intended
solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the holders of the
Senior Debt on the one hand and the holder of this Subordinated Promissory
Note on the other hand.  Nothing contained herein, is intended to or shall
