3. LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES

    As  reported in the Form 10-K, TransAmerican Natural Gas
Corporation  (TransAmerican) has filed  a  petition  against
Enron  Corp.  and  Enron  Oil & Gas Company  (EOG)  alleging
breach  of  confidentiality agreements, misappropriation  of
trade  secrets and unfair competition with respect  to  four
tracts in Webb County, Texas, which EOG leased for their oil
and    gas    exploration    and   development    potential.
TransAmerican  seeks  actual damages  of  $100  million  and
exemplary  damages of $300 million.  EOG  has  filed  claims
against  TransAmerican  and  its sole  shareholder  alleging
common law fraud, negligent misrepresentation and breach  of
state  antitrust  laws.  On April 6, 1994, Enron  Corp.  was
granted  summary  judgment, wherein the court  ordered  that
TransAmerican take nothing on its claims against Enron Corp.
As  to EOG, the trial date, which was most recently set  for
September  12,  1994, has been continued  and  there  is  no
current setting.  Although no assurances can be given, Enron
Corp.  believes  that  TransAmerican's  claims  are  without
merit.  Enron believes that the ultimate resolution of  this
matter  will  not have a materially adverse  effect  on  its
financial position or results of operations.

   As reported in the Form 10-K, a pipeline company in which
an  Enron affiliate had a minority interest and for which an
Enron  affiliate has served as operator had filed a petition
against Enron and certain affiliates alleging an unspecified
amount of damages relating to the operation of such pipeline
company.  The lawsuit was settled and dismissed in June 1995
pursuant to which settlement Enron's equity interest in such
pipeline  company was conveyed to another equity owner.  The
terms  of  the settlement did not have a materially  adverse
effect   on   Enron's  financial  position  or  results   of
operations.

    During  October 1994, an explosion occurred  at  Enron's
methanol  plant  in Pasadena, Texas.  Before the  explosion,
the  plant  was producing approximately 420,000  gallons  of
methanol per day, approximately half of which was being used
at  Enron's MTBE plant.  There were no fatalities or serious
injuries as a result of the explosion.  The plant was placed
back  into  commercial operation in June 1995.   Based  upon
business  interruption and other insurance coverages,  Enron
currently  anticipates that the explosion will  not  have  a
material adverse effect on its financial position or results
of operations.

        FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                ENRON CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Second Quarter 1995
vs. Second Quarter 1994

    The  following review of Enron's results  of  operations
should   be   read  in  conjunction  with  the  Consolidated
Financial Statements.

CONSOLIDATED NET INCOME

    Enron's second quarter 1995 net income increased to  $94
million as compared to $76 million during the second quarter
of 1994.  Net income in the second quarter of 1995 benefited
from   strong   performances  in   the   international   and
exploration  and production segments.  These increases  were
partially  offset  by higher interest and  related  charges,
higher  dividends  on  preferred stock of  subsidiaries  and
increased  income tax expense. Earnings per  share  rose  to
$0.37  in the second quarter of 1995 from $0.30 in the  same
period in 1994.

INCOME BEFORE INTEREST, MINORITY INTERESTS AND INCOME TAXES

    The  following  table presents income  before  interest,
minority  interests  and income taxes  (IBIT)  for  each  of
Enron's operating segments (in millions).

</TABLE>

TRANSPORTATION AND OPERATION

   The transportation and operation segment includes Enron's
regulated  natural  gas pipelines, construction,  management
and   operation  of  pipelines,  liquids  plants  and  power
facilities and Enron's investment in crude oil marketing and
transportation operations conducted by EOTT Energy Partners,
L.P.  (EOTT) and liquids pipeline operations.  The segment's
IBIT  declined $5 million in the second quarter of  1995  as
compared   to  the  same  period  in  1994.  The   following
discussion analyzes the  significant changes in the various 
components  of IBIT for the transportation and operation segment.

REVENUES

    Revenues  of  the  transportation and operation  segment
decreased approximately $20 million (10%) during the  second
quarter of 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994.  The
decrease  in  revenues  primarily  reflects  reduced   sales
revenue  at Northern Natural Gas Company (Northern  Natural)
as  that pipeline is now almost exclusively a transporter of
natural gas.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

    Operating  expenses in the transportation and  operation
segment  declined 3% during the second quarter  of  1995  as
compared  to the same period in 1994.  The decline primarily
reflects  lower operating expenses of the regulated  natural
gas  pipelines  due to lower transmission,  compression  and
storage cost of gas purchased for resale as a result of  the
previously  discussed transition to being almost exclusively
transporters of natural gas.

    Amortization  of  deferred  contract  reformation  costs
decreased 80% in the second quarter of 1995 primarily due to
the  completion  by  Northern Natural  of  the  recovery  of
certain transition costs in early 1995.

OTHER INCOME AND DEDUCTIONS

     Equity   in  earnings  of  unconsolidated  subsidiaries
decreased $9 million (80%) in the second quarter of 1995  as
compared  to  the same period in 1994 as a result  of  lower
earnings  realized by EOTT due primarily to  weak  industry-
wide  processing  margins on the West  Coast  combined  with
reserves established in connection with the restructuring of
EOTT's West Coast processing arrangement.  This decline  was
partially  offset  by  increased earnings  from  Trailblazer
Pipeline due to a settlement with a transportation customer.

    Other  income, net increased $9 million for  the  second
quarter  of 1995 compared to the same period in  1994.   The
increase  was  primarily  due to  pre-tax  earnings  of  $10
million   related   to  the  disposition  of   non-strategic
gathering facilities.

DOMESTIC GAS AND POWER SERVICES

    Enron's  domestic gas and power activities are conducted
by  Enron Capital & Trade Resources Corp. (ECT) and  can  be
categorized  into three business lines:  Cash and  Physical,
Risk  Management and Finance.  The domestic  gas  and  power
services  segment's IBIT for the second quarter of 1995  was
virtually  unchanged  from the same  period  in  1994.   The
following discussion analyzes the contributions to IBIT  for
each of these businesses.


    Volume  and  price  statistics  (including  intercompany
amounts) are as follows:

</TABLE>

    The  cash and physical operations include earnings  from
physical  contracts of one year or less involving  marketing
and   transportation  of  physical  natural  gas,   liquids,
electricity  and  other  commodities,  earnings   from   the
management of ECT's contract portfolio and earnings  related
to  the  physical  assets  of ECT,  including  domestic  gas
processing activity.  Also reported in this business are the
effects  of  actual settlements of ECT's long-term  physical
and   notional  quantity-based  contracts.   The  cash   and
physical operations' earnings before overhead expenses  were
$27 million in the second quarter of 1995 and $21 million in
the  same  period in 1994.  The earnings from this  business
unit  increased in the second quarter of 1995 primarily  due
to  the  effects  of improved liquidity in  the  index-based
markets  on its portfolio of contracts and activity  related
to  electricity marketing.  This business line accounted for
37% of ECT's earnings before overhead expenses in the second
quarter of 1995 as compared to 30% in the second quarter  of
1994.

     The   risk  management  operations  consist  of  market
origination    activity   on   new    long-term    contracts
(transactions  greater than one year) and  restructuring  of
existing   long-term  contracts.   Second  quarter  earnings
before  overhead expenses from this unit decreased  slightly
from  $51 million in 1994 to $49 million in 1995.  In  1995,
earnings  were  primarily from the utility sector  while  in
1994  originations were from independent power plants.   The
earnings from risk management operations were 67% and 73% of
ECT  earnings before overhead expenses in the second quarter
of 1995 and 1994, respectively.

    ECT's  finance operations provide capital  to  customers
through various product offerings.  The loss before overhead
expenses  from  this unit increased from $2 million  in  the
second  quarter of 1994 to $3 million in the second  quarter
of   1995,  primarily  due  to  lower  earnings  related  to
production  payments.   The finance  activities  contributed
(4)%  of  ECT's  earnings before overhead  expenses  in  the
second quarter of 1995 and (3)% in the same period in 1994.

    ECT's  overhead expenses such as rent, systems  expenses
and other support group costs were $27 million in the second
quarter of 1995 and $23 million in the same period in  1994.
These  costs increased by 19% in the second quarter of  1995
due  to  continued expansion into new markets  coupled  with
increased expenses for insurance and employee benefits.

INTERNATIONAL GAS AND POWER SERVICES

    The  international segment includes  earnings  from  the
development and promotion of natural gas pipeline and  power
projects, commercial power generation activities outside  of
North  America  and  activities  of  Enron  Global  Power  &
Pipelines   L.L.C.   The  segment's  second   quarter   IBIT
increased  $11  million from 1994 to  1995.   The  following
discussion analyzes the significant changes in the segment's
results.

NET REVENUES

    Net revenues for the international segment increased  by
$30  million in the second quarter of 1995 as compared  with
1994.   This  increase is primarily due to revenues  of  $12
million  which were recognized as a result of the expiration
of  certain contingent obligations related to the  formation
of  Enron  Global  Power & Pipelines  L.L.C.,  improved  net
revenues  from Enron Americas and growth in the natural  gas
marketing operations in Europe.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

   Operating expenses increased $4 million during the second
quarter  of  1995  as compared to the same  period  in  1994
primarily as a result of increased international activities.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased  $4  million
as a result of increased amortization of project development
costs.

OTHER INCOME AND DEDUCTIONS

    Other income, net decreased $13 million primarily due to
foreign  currency exchange gains realized by Enron  Americas
in the second quarter of 1994.

EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION

    The  exploration and production segment's IBIT increased
to  $84  million  in the second quarter  of  1995  from  $40
million  in the same period of 1994.  These results  include
the  impact  of  hedges placed by Enron  on  open  commodity
positions  not  hedged  by  EOG.  The  following  discussion
analyzes the significant changes in the segment's results.

REVENUES

    The  exploration and production segment's gross revenues
increased  $22  million (12%) during the second  quarter  of
1995  as  compared to the same period in 1994.  The increase
reflects gains on sales of reserves and related assets which
totaled  $54 million in the second quarter of 1995  compared
with  $13  million  in the same period in  1994.   Decreased
natural   gas  sales  and  other  marketing  revenues   were
partially mitigated by the positive effects of EOG's hedging
strategies  which  resulted in a  gain  of  $16  million  on
natural gas commodity price hedging activities in the second
quarter  of 1995 compared to a loss of less than $1  million
during  the second quarter of 1994.  Gains related to hedges
placed  by  Enron on open commodity positions not hedged  by
EOG  increased from $1 million in the second quarter of 1994
to  $11 million in the same period in 1995.  Increased crude
and  condensate  sales also contributed to the  increase  in
revenues.

   Because of 23% lower average wellhead natural gas prices,
U.S. wellhead natural gas volumes were voluntarily curtailed
by  an  average of 120 MMcf/d during the second  quarter  of
1995  compared  to an average of 75 MMcf/d during  the  same
period in 1994, contributing to a decrease of 12% in volumes
delivered from the second quarter of 1994.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

   The cost of gas sold in connection with other natural gas
marketing  activities decreased $16 million (53%)  from  the
second  quarter of 1994 compared to the same period in  1995
due  to lower average associated costs per Mcf combined with
a decrease in other natural gas marketing volumes.

    Operating  expenses for the exploration  and  production
segment increased $4 million (15%) during the second quarter
of 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994 primarily due
to  expanded  international activities  and  overall  higher
costs associated with certain employee related costs.

    Depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A)  expense
decreased  $14  million  (22%) reflecting  the  decrease  in
production  volumes  noted earlier and  a  decrease  in  the
average  DD&A  rate  from  $0.82  per  thousand  cubic  feet
equivalent (Mcfe) in the second quarter of 1994 to $0.69 per
Mcfe  in  the second quarter of 1995.  The decrease  in  the
DD&A  rate is due to an increase in the proportion of  North
American  production  coming from  lower  cost  fields,  the
disposition  of  higher  cost properties  and  increases  in
international  volumes at lower than average  domestic  DD&A
rates.

    Taxes  other than income were $3 million higher  in  the
second  quarter of 1995 compared to the same period in  1994
primarily  due to a benefit of $4 million included  in  1994
associated with reductions in state franchise taxes.

CORPORATE AND OTHER

    The  corporate and other segment's IBIT increased to  $6
million  in  the second quarter of 1995 as a result  of  the
resolution of certain litigation in 1995.

DIVIDENDS ON PREFERRED STOCK OF SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

     The  increase  in  dividends  on  preferred  stock   of
subsidiaries   reflects  the  issuance  by   Enron   Capital
Resources,  L.P.  of  3  million  shares  of  9%  Cumulative
Preferred  Securities, Series A ($25 per  share  liquidation
value)  in August 1994 and the issuance in December 1994  of
880  shares  of  8.57%  Preferred Stock,  $0.001  par  value
($100,000 per share liquidation value) by Enron Equity Corp.

INCOME TAXES

    Income taxes increased during the second quarter of 1995
as  compared  to the second quarter of 1994 primarily  as  a
result  of increased pretax income and a decrease  in  tight
gas sand Federal tax credits.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Six Months Ended June 30, 1995
vs. Six Months Ended June 30, 1994

    The  following review of Enron's results  of  operations
should   be   read  in  conjunction  with  the  Consolidated
Financial Statements.

CONSOLIDATED NET INCOME

    Enron's  net  income for the first six  months  of  1995
increased to $289 million as compared to $249 million during
the  same  period  in  1994.  The $40  million  increase  in
consolidated  net  income reflects  improved  income  before
interest,  minority interests and income taxes  for  all  of
Enron's operating segments except corporate and other.  This
increase  was  partially  offset  by  higher  dividends   on
preferred  stock  of subsidiaries and increased  income  tax
expense.  Earnings per share rose to $1.16 in the first  six
months of 1995 from $0.99 in the same period in 1994.

INCOME BEFORE INTEREST, MINORITY INTERESTS AND INCOME TAXES

    The  following  table presents income  before  interest,
minority  interests  and income taxes  (IBIT)  for  each  of
Enron's operating segments (in millions).

TRANSPORTATION AND OPERATION

    The transportation and operation segment realized a  $23
million  increase  in IBIT for the first  half  of  1995  as
compared   to  the  same  period  in  1994.  The   following
discussion  analyzes the significant changes in the  various
components  of  IBIT  for the transportation  and  operation
segment.

REVENUES

    Revenues  of  the  transportation and operation  segment
decreased $70 million (14%) during the first half of 1995 as
compared  to  the  same  period in 1994.   The  decrease  in
revenues   primarily  reflects  reduced  sales  revenue   at
Northern  Natural as that pipeline is now almost exclusively
a  transporter of natural gas.  Additionally, the  decreased
ownership interest in EOTT in March 1994 contributed to  the
decline in revenue.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

     The  cost  of  gas  and  other  products  sold  by  the
transportation  and  operation  segment  decreased  by   $18
million (50%) during the first half of 1995 compared to  the
same  period in 1994 primarily as a result of decreased  gas
purchases  by Northern Natural Gas as that pipeline  is  now
almost exclusively a transporter of natural gas.

    Operating  expenses in the transportation and  operation
segment  declined by $13 million (8%) during the first  half
of 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994.  The decline
primarily reflects lower operating expenses of the regulated
natural gas pipelines due to lower transmission, compression
and storage cost of gas purchased for resale as a result  of
the  previously  discussed transition  to  become  primarily
transporters   of  natural  gas.   Additionally,   operating
expenses  decreased  as a result of the decreased  ownership
interest in EOTT.

   Depreciation expense for the transportation and operation
segment  decreased $4 million (9%) during the first half  of
1995  as compared to the same period in 1994 primarily as  a
result of the decreased ownership interest in EOTT.

OTHER INCOME AND DEDUCTIONS

     Equity   in  earnings  of  unconsolidated  subsidiaries
decreased by $10 million (59%) during the first half of 1995
as  compared  to the same period in 1994 reflecting  reduced
earnings from EOTT as previously discussed, partially offset
by  increased  earnings  from  Trailblazer  Partnership  and
Citrus Corp.

    Other  income, net increased $39 million to $58 million,
primarily  due to gains related to the disposition  of  non-
strategic natural gas processing and gathering facilities.

DOMESTIC GAS AND POWER SERVICES

    The domestic gas and power segment had a $3 million (3%)
increase  in  income before interest, minority interest  and
income  taxes  for  the six months ended June  30,  1995  as
compared to the same period in 1994.  This increase was  due
primarily  to increased earnings in the risk management  and
finance businesses, offset by lower earnings in the cash and
physical  business.  The following discussion  analyzes  the
contributions to IBIT for each of these businesses.

    Volume  and  price  statistics  (including  intercompany
amounts) are as follows:

</TABLE>

     The  cash  and  physical  operations'  earnings  before
overhead  expenses were $50 million and $85 million  in  the
first  six  months  of  1995 and 1994,  respectively.   This
decrease  was  primarily  a  result  of  lower  margins  for
physical  natural  gas resulting from less  volatile  market
conditions due to mild weather in the first quarter of 1995,
partially  offset by an increase in activity in  electricity
marketing.   This business line accounted for 33%  of  ECT's
earnings before overhead expenses in the first six months of
1995 as compared to 61% in the first six months of 1994.

   Earnings before overhead expenses for the risk management
business  were $84 million in the first six months  of  1995
and  $56  million in the same period in 1994.  This increase
was  due  primarily  to earnings related  to  long-term  gas
supply  contracts  with independent  power  plants  and  the
utility  sector (including $19 million associated  with  the
non-affiliated  portion of earnings  from  a  long-term  gas
supply  contract with a 50% owned independent power  plant).
The  earnings from risk management operations were  56%  and
41%  of  ECT earnings before overhead expenses in the  first
six months of 1995 and 1994, respectively.

     ECT's   finance  operations  earnings  before  overhead
expenses  were $17 million in the first six months  of  1995
compared  with a loss of $3 million for the same  period  in
1994.   This  increase was due primarily  to  its  share  of
earnings associated with long-term gas supply contracts with
the  independent power plant discussed above.   The  finance
activities contributed 11% of ECT's earnings before overhead
expenses  in  the first six months of 1995 and (2)%  in  the
same period in 1994.

    ECT's  overhead expenses were $52 million in  the  first
half  of  1995 and $43 million in the same period  in  1994.
These costs increased by 21% in the first six months of 1995
due  to  continued expansion into new markets and  increased
expenses for insurance and employee benefits.

INTERNATIONAL GAS AND POWER SERVICES

    The  international segment's IBIT increased $11  million
(19%)  in the first six months of 1995 compared to the  same
period  in  1994.   The  following discussion  analyzes  the
significant changes in the segment's results.

NET REVENUES

    Net revenues for the international segment increased  by
$35  million (51%)in the first half of 1995 as compared with
1994.   Included  in  1995 were amounts  received  from  the
promotion  of  a portion of Enron's interest in  the  Dabhol
power project in India, $24 million from the promotion of  a
portion  of Enron's interest in its power assets at Teesside
in  the  United Kingdom and increased net revenues from  the
natural  gas  marketing operations in Europe.  In  addition,
revenues of $24 million were recognized as a result  of  the
expiration of certain contingent obligations related to  the
formation of Enron Global Power & Pipelines L.L.C.  The 1994
results included revenues of approximately $31 million  from
the  promotion  on  the sale of certain  liquids  processing
facilities at Teesside.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

   Operating expenses increased $11 million during the first
half  of  1995  as  compared to  the  same  period  in  1994
primarily as a result of increased international activities.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased  $5  million
as a result of increased amortization of project development
costs.

OTHER INCOME AND DEDUCTIONS

     Equity   in  earnings  of  unconsolidated  subsidiaries
increased  $7  million primarily as a  result  of  increased
earnings  from  Teesside  and improved  results  from  Enron
Americas'   Venezuelan  manufacturing   operations.    Other
income,  net declined $13 million due primarily  to  foreign
exchange gains realized by Enron Americas in the first  half
of 1994.

EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION

    The  exploration and production segment's IBIT increased
to  $143  million in the first half of 1995 from $80 million
in  the  same  period  of 1994.  These results  include  the
impact of hedges placed by Enron on open commodity positions
not  hedged  by EOG.  The following discussion analyzes  the
significant changes in the segment's results.

     Wellhead   volume   and  price  statistics   (including
intercompany amounts) are as follows:

    described in note (2), net of transportation costs.
</TABLE>

REVENUES

    The  exploration and production segment's gross revenues
increased $29 million (8%) during the first half of 1995  as
compared  to the same period in 1994.  The increase reflects
gains  on sales of reserves and related assets which totaled
$59  million  in the first six months of 1995 compared  with
$19  million in the same period in 1994.  Decreased  natural
gas  sales  and  other  marketing  revenues  were  partially
mitigated   by   the  positive  effects  of  EOG's   hedging
strategies  which  resulted in a  gain  of  $31  million  on
natural gas commodity price hedging activities in the  first
half  of  1995 compared to a loss of $6 million  during  the
first half of 1994.  Gains related to hedges placed by Enron
on open commodity positions not hedged by EOG increased from
less  than $1 million in the second quarter of 1994  to  $27
million  in  the same period in 1995.  Increased  crude  and
condensate  sales  also  contributed  to  the  increase   in
revenues.

   Because of 30% lower average wellhead natural gas prices,
U.S. wellhead natural gas volumes were voluntarily curtailed
by  an  average of 105 MMcf/d during the first half of  1995
compared  to an average of 50 MMcf/d during the same  period
in  1994,  contributing  to a decrease  of  11%  in  volumes
delivered from the first six months of 1994.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

   The cost of gas sold in connection with other natural gas
marketing activities in the first half of 1995 decreased $23
million  (37%) compared to the same period in  1994  due  to
lower  average  associated  costs  per  Mcf  combined   with
decreased other natural gas marketing volumes.

    Operating  expenses for the exploration  and  production
segment  increased $5 million (9%) during the first half  of
1995  as  compared  to  the same period  in  1994  primarily
reflecting increased international operations.  Oil and  gas
exploration expenses increased $5 million (12%) in the first
half of 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994, due  to
expanded  international  drilling operations  and  increased
impairments  of  unproved oil and gas properties  associated
with certain offshore leases.

     DD&A  expense  decreased  $25  million  reflecting  the
decrease  in production volumes noted earlier and a decrease
in  the  average DD&A rate from $0.82 per Mcfe in the  first
half  of  1994 to $0.69 per Mcfe in the first half of  1995.
A  portion  of  the  DD&A rate decrease is  attributable  to
increased  production  from  international  operations  with
lower  than  average  DD&A  rates than  incurred  for  North
American  operations.   The remainder  of  the  decrease  is
primarily  due  to  an increase in the proportion  of  North
American  production  coming from  lower  cost  fields,  the
disposition  of  higher  cost properties  and  increases  in
reserve   estimates   resulting  primarily   from   evolving
production histories.

    Taxes  other than income were $3 million higher  in  the
first  half  of  1995 compared to the same  period  in  1994
primarily due to a benefit included in 1994 associated  with
reductions in state franchise taxes.

CORPORATE AND OTHER

    The  corporate  and other segment's  IBIT  decreased  $3
million  (8%) in the first half of 1995 as compared  to  the
first half of 1994.  The 1994 amount includes a gain related
to  the  sale of 10 million common units of EOTT and general
and administrative expense reductions realized in 1994.  The
1995  results  include  amounts  recognized  following   the
resolution of certain litigation in 1995.

DIVIDENDS ON PREFERRED STOCK OF SUBSIDIARY COMPANY

     The  increase  in  dividends  on  preferred  stock   of
subsidiaries   reflects  the  issuance  by   Enron   Capital
Resources,  L.P.  of  3  million  shares  of  9%  Cumulative
Preferred  Securities, Series A ($25 per  share  liquidation
value)  in August 1994 and the issuance in December 1994  of
880  shares  of  8.57%  Preferred Stock,  $0.001  par  value
($100,000 per share liquidation value) by Enron Equity Corp.

INCOME TAXES

    Income  taxes increased during the first six  months  of
1995  as  compared to the first six months of 1994 primarily
as  a  result of increased pretax income and decreased tight
gas sand Federal tax credits.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

    Cash  used in operating activities totaled approximately
$187  million during the first half of 1995 as  compared  to
$156 million during the same period last year.  The increase
in cash used in operating activities reflects increased cash
used in price risk management activities.

    Cash  used in investing activities totaled $292  million
during  the  first half of 1995 as compared to $323  million
during  the  same  period in 1994.  The  decrease  primarily
reflects reduced equity investments as compared to the first
half  of  1994, primarily reflecting investments  in  Citrus
Corp. during 1994 in connection with the Phase III expansion
project.   This  decline  was  partially  offset  by   lower
proceeds  from  sales  of assets and investments.   Proceeds
from  asset  sales during the first half of  1995  primarily
reflect  sales  of  oil  and gas properties  while  proceeds
during the first half of 1994 reflect amounts related to the
formation of EOTT and oil and gas property sales.

    Cash  provided  by  financing  activities  totaled  $488
million  during the first half of 1995 as compared  to  $458
million  during the same period in 1994.  During  the  first
half  of  1995,  net issuances of short- and long-term  debt
totaled  $614  million.  Proceeds from these issuances  were
used primarily to fund capital and other expenditures and to
meet working capital requirements.

    Enron  is  able  to  fund  its  normal  working  capital
requirements  mainly through operations or, when  necessary,
through the utilization of credit facilities and its ability
to sell commercial paper and accounts receivable.

    Total  capitalization at June 30, 1995 was $7.2 billion.
Debt  as  a percentage of total capitalization was 47.4%  at
June  30,  1995 as compared to 44.2% at year-end 1994.   The
increase  from year-end primarily reflects the  increase  in
debt levels as discussed above.

ITEM 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

      The Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Enron Corp.  was
held  on  May 2, 1995 in Houston, Texas, for the purpose  of
electing a board of directors, approving the appointment  of
auditors,  and  voting  on  the  proposal  described  below.
Proxies  for the meeting were solicited pursuant to  Section
14(a)  of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and there  was

  220,911,042       9,799,125         4,882,634

The   purpose  of  the  Enron  Corp.  Amended  and  Restated
Performance Unit Plan is to advance the interests  of  Enron
and  its  subsidiaries and their stockholders  by  providing
long-term  incentive  compensation  tied  to  increases   in
stockholder value to those key executive employees  who  are
in a position to make substantial contributions to the long-
term  financial success of Enron and its subsidiaries.   The
amendment was required so that certain awards under the plan
will qualify as performance-based compensation under Section
162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.
