TO THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION:
By orders dated January 9, 1991, February 28, 1991 and
May 7, 1991
(HCAR Nos. 25239, 25263 and 25308, respectively) ("Orders"),
in the
above-captioned proceeding, the Securities and Exchange
Commission
("Commission") permitted the Application-Declaration of CNG
Transmission Corporation ("Transmission") and CNG Iroquois,
Inc.
("CNGI"), as amended, to become effective, thereby
authorizing
Transmission to provide, through June 30, 1993, up to
$35,000,000 of
financing to CNGI through the purchase of common stock of
CNGI and/or
the making of open account advances to CNGI. Transmission
and CNGI
were also authorized by the Orders to provide, through June

up to $35,000,000 in guaranties and indemnities on behalf of
CNGI and
Iroquois Gas Transmission System, L. P. ("Iroquois"),
respectively, at
any one time. The purpose of the financing was to provide
funds to
CNGI for use relating to its 9.4% general partnership
interest in
Iroquois, which was formed to construct and own an
interstate natural
gas pipeline extending from the Canadian border to Long
Island, New
York.

By order dated July 6, 1993 (HCAR No. 25845), the
Commission
extended the above-mentioned authorizations through June 30,
1996, up
to an aggregate amount of $20 million. In addition, the
Commission
pursuant to such Order authorized CNGI and Transmission to
obtain
letters of credit and/or enter into reimbursement agreements
on behalf
of Iroquois and CNGI respectively.
This Certificate is filed in accordance with Rule 24 as
notification that the following transactions authorized by
the Orders
have been carried out during the reporting quarter in
accordance with
the terms and conditions of, and for the purposes
represented by, said
Application-Declaration and the Orders.
(1) Transmission purchased no shares of common stock
during the
quarter. As of March 31, 1994, CNGI had 1,494 shares of
common
stock outstanding.
(2) No open account advances were made by Transmission
to CNGI
during the quarter, and no such open account advances
were
outstanding as of March 31, 1994.
(3) CNGI made no capital contributions to Iroquois
during the
fourth quarter of 1993. As of March 31, 1994, CNGI has
cumulatively made $14,895,764 of equity contributions to
Iroquois.
(4) On August 25, 1993, CNGI entered into a
reimbursement
agreement and related support agreements where CNGI
agreed to
reimburse the Bank of Montreal its share of a
distribution
made by Iroquois to the partners of Iroquois from
the cash in
the debt service reserve account. The terms of the
loan
allowed the cash in such account to be distributed
as long as
<PAGE> 3
Iroquois obtained a letter of credit ("LOC") and the
individual partners agreed to reimburse the bank who
issued the
LOC if the bank is required to pay on the LOC. CNGI's
share of
the distribution amounted to $3,456,756, which was
distributed to
CNGI on August 25, 1993.
On March 31, 1994, the LOC was amended to reflect a
one year
term extension. All other terms of the LOC remain
unchanged.
The "past-tense" opinion required by paragraph F(2) of
the
instructions as to exhibits for Form U-1 will be filed when
all of the
transactions authorized pursuant to said Orders have
consummated.
