the common units of limited partner interests ("Common Units") in
Valero Natural Gas Partners, L.P. ("VNGP") by VNGP and Valero
Natural Gas Company, the general partner of VNGP and a wholly
owned subsidiary of Valero Energy Corporation ("VEC"), in
connection with a proposed merger of VNGP with a limited
partnership that is wholly owned by subsidiaries of VEC.  The
original Schedule 13E-3 was filed on December 30, 1993.
