TO THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION:

	By order dated December 15, 1999 (HCAR No. 27112) (the "Order") in the
above captioned proceedings, the Securities and Exchange Commission
("Commission") permitted the Application-Declaration of Dominion Resources,
Inc. ("Dominion"), an exempt holding company, and Consolidated Natural Gas
Company ("Old CNG"), a registered holding company, to become effective.
Concurrently, by order dated December 15, 1999 (HCAR No. 27113), the
Commission authorized the merger (the "Merger") of Old CNG into a wholly-
owned subsidiary of Dominion, which subsidiary as the survivor of the
merger changed its name to Consolidated Natural Gas Company ("CNG").  The
Merger was consummated on January 28, 2000.  The Order authorized post-
Merger financings for Dominion and CNG, and requires the filing by Dominion
of certain certificates of notification pursuant to Rule 24.  This
certificate is the first of such certificates to be filed, and provides
financial information with respect to Dominion and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, including Dominion Energy, Inc. ("DEI"), Dominion Capital,
Inc. ("DCI"), and Virginia Electric Power Company ("Virginia Power"), and
