analysis.

Introduction
Issues associated with the repurchase of the 51% of VLP owned by the public:
o Valuation of VLP
o Precedent transactions (MLP buy-ins and minority squeeze outs)
o Alternative transaction forms (cash tender, cash merger, exchange
offer)
o Convertible Preferred Stock ("Convert") as a means of financing the
transaction
o Transaction mechanics and timing

SALOMON BROTHERS INC
Key Issues Regarding Valuation of VLP
o Current unit price of $9.375
o Very high leverage (80% Debt/Book Capitalization) impacts value
- Debt is effectively non-redeemable
- Highly leveraged equities tend to be valued at a discount due
to financial risk
- Small variations in value of business are amplified by leverage
into large variations in equity value
o Low historical and projected growth relative to comparable public
companies
o MLP structure/impact on tax treatment

SALOMON BROTHERS INC
Comparable Considerations
IN DETERMINING APPROPRIATE PUBLIC MARKET MULTIPLES FOR VLP, SALOMON HAS
CONSIDERED THE FOLLOWING FACTORS INFLUENCING THE VALUATION OF OTHER GATHERING,
TRANSMISSION AND PROCESSING COMPANIES AND THE POTENTIAL MARKET VALUATION OF
VLP.
o The market would look closely at VLP's historical earnings trend
and composition as an indicator of potential future performance.
- VLP's pipeline operations have been on a consistent downward
trend, declining each year from $71 million in 1988 to $33
million in 1992.
- While NGL operating profits (64% of 1992 operating profit)
have been stable in the $55 - $65 million range for the last
three years, in 1988 and 1989 EBIT was $1 million and $5
million respectively.
o The market will look to the 1988 and 1989 returns
as an indication of the potential downside in the
event of another substantial industry downturn.
o This view will be mitigated by a market view that
the industry has made a fundamental/structural shift
and future risk is lower than in the past.
o Furthermore, VLP's growth prospects are perceived to be more limited
than the other Gathering, Transmission and Processing companies due
to the capital structure.
17
<PAGE> 19
SALOMON BROTHERS INC
Comparable Considerations
o Most of the publicly traded comparables have demonstrated
substantial growth historically and as a result are regarded as
having additional growth potential.
- American Oil & Gas, Associated Natural Gas, Tejas Gas,
Aquila and Western Gas Resources have all achieved
substantial growth through acquisitions.
- The above companies have increased operating income (1)
20% - 65% annually since 1990 and have generated a
corresponding increase in E.P.S.
- Their stock prices have increased 150% since 1991 and are
currently trading at high multiples in anticipation of
continued growth.
- VLP has no comparable track record.
o Trident and USX-Delhi have demonstrated substantially lower margin
growth.
- Trident's margin is dominated by gas processing and has dropped
10% in each of the last two years.
o Trident has a stable fractionation business which
has consistently generated approximately $25 of
gross margin since 1983.
o Trident's NGL gross margin of $83 million (excluding
fractionation) is approximately double the 1988-1989
levels.
- --------------------
(1) Gross margins were used as a proxy for operating income where data was
unavailable.
18
<PAGE> 20
SALOMON BROTHERS INC
Comparable Considerations
o USX-Delhi's operations have been a stable cash flow generator over the
last 5 years.
- The stock, however, is negatively impacted by the overhang of
the pending secondary offering and the letter stock structure.
- The market does not anticipate any growth via acquisitions.
CONCLUSION
o Trident, Aquila and USX-Delhi are the closest proxies for a public
market valuation of VLP. However, Trident and Aquila are only filed
offerings, not currently public traded companies.
o The other Gathering, Transmission and Processing companies are less
comparable due to their extremely high growth record and perceived
future prospects.
o Highly leveraged capital structure and lack of historical growth
record would place VLP at the lower end of comparable multiple
range.

o Lack of Public Information Many of the transactions listed are either private companies or are subsidiaries of
public companies, so the amount of public information available is limited.
o Multiples vs. DCF Although we use a multiple of EBDIAT as an approximate measure of value, buyers
primarily utilize a DCF approach. Therefore, these multiples reflect the buyers'
views of value, potential synergies, tax benefits, etc.
o Leverage Sensitivity Due to the high degree of leverage, equity value of the VLP units implied by multiples
is extremely sensitive.

o Taxes Utilizes a "flow-through" entity cash flow approach with 0% taxes due to the partnership
structure. The discount rate is also adjusted to reflect the absence of a corporate tax
shield on interest expense.
o Discount Rate Calculated using the CAPM with weighted average cost of capital based on comparable
companies and VLP's pre-tax cost of debt. Assumes VLP's marginal corporate tax rate is
0% due to the partnership structure.
o Leverage Sensitivity Due to the high degree of leverage, the equity value of the units implied by the DCF

Transaction Structure
o Considerations in evaluating alternative transaction structures:
- Tax consequences of the transaction to VLO and VLP unitholders
- Form of the offer (i.e. merger vs. tender offer)
- Type of security to exchange or issue (i.e. Convert vs. common)
- Consideration offered (i.e. securities exchanged vs. cash)

TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE TRANSACTIONS
o A tax-free transaction would have several significant disadvantages:
- Non-taxable transaction would entail a complex legal
structure requiring a vote of VLO shareholders, as well as
additional expense and uncertainties.
- VLO would not be able to step-up basis in VLP.
o We have therefore assumed for purposes of our analysis that a
transaction would be taxable to unitholders.

SALOMON BROTHERS INC
Transaction Structure
CONSIDERATION OFFERED: EXCHANGE OF SECURITIES OR CASH
o We have analyzed two primary types of consideration to be offered to
VLP unitholders
- Offer VLO Convert directly to unitholders ("exchange of
securities")
- Offer cash to unitholders with cash raised via a simultaneous
underwritten equity offering to new investors ("cash offer")
TYPE OF SECURITY TO EXCHANGE OR ISSUE
o Pro forma alternative transaction assumes a Convertible Preferred
Stock ("Convert") for the following reasons:
- Some type of equity offering contributes to improve debt ratios
- Avoids issuing common stock at current market
- Avoids adding additional debt on top of $680 million of VLP
debt which will be consolidated post-transaction
- Convert market is currently very attractive (See Appendix C).
o However, there are some considerations to financing with VLO common:
- Common may be slightly more beneficial to EPS than Convert,
although less beneficial to Cash Flow per share
- Dividend requirements on Convert are not tax deductible
- Common would be viewed more positively by rating agencies
- Common would advisably be sold through an underwritten
offering with a roadshow rather than exchanged directly for
VLP units
o VLO may wish to wait until talking to the rating agencies before
deciding on whether to issue Convert or common.

TRANSACTION SUMMARY
[GRAPH E]
o VLO offers Convertible Preferred ("Convert") in Exchange for VLP
units. Some unitholders may sell their units following the
announcement of a transaction rather than wait until the exchange
offer is complete.
o Unitholders may sell the Convert if they need liquidity. Market
makers and traditional convertible buyers may not bid aggressively
for the Convert since retail investors have small holdings and the
issue is not actively traded. However, if the price for the
Convert has been driven down in relation to comparable securities,
brokers (and hedge funds) may be induced by profit to aggregate
small retail positions and sell to convert buyers (largely
institutional investors).
o Convert buyers purchase Convert.
o Convert trades at fair market value on a fully distributed basis after
a period time.
40
<PAGE> 42
SALOMON BROTHERS INC
Exchange of Securities via Merger
MECHANICS OF TRANSACTION
o VLO Board approves an offer of VLO Convert with specified terms to VLP
unitholders.
o VLO then communicates offer in detail to VNGC Board of Directors.
o VNGC Board of Directors would likely set up a Special Committee of
independent directors to consider VLO's offer.
o Public announcement of offer and Special Committee.
o Special Committee would hire a financial advisor and legal counsel and
would analyze the proposal.
o Special Committee would then negotiate with VLO.
o If a transaction is approved by the Special Committee, a
Proxy/Prospectus would be filed with the SEC.
o Following a review by the SEC, the Proxy materials would be mailed to
unitholders.
o Unitholders would then have 60 days to consider the offer before
voting, since the offer of securities would be subject to SEC roll-up
rules.
o Unitholders vote and the merger is completed.
o Unitholders receive Convert.

Exchange of Securities via Merger
REDISTRIBUTION OF CONVERT TO NATURAL HOLDERS
o A 6.5% Convert provides investors with a significant yield
pickup over the 5.5% current yield of the VLP units. This may
mitigate holders' tendency to sell the Convert.
o However, in a taxable transaction, holders will tend to either
sell their units prior to the exchange or sell the Convert
received.
- Retail investors are often passive if the
transaction requires no action; the need to
pay taxes could encourage them to sell their
entire Convert holdings.
- Retail brokers often encourage unitholders to
sell the distributed securities in order to
generate additional commissions and
reposition their portfolios.
- Certain investors may chose to sell units
before year end for 1993 tax purposes.
o If a large number of unitholders elect to sell either their
units or the new Convert, then the Convert will be
redistributed over time to natural holders of Converts.
o The $100 billion Convert market is efficient in pricing
outstanding Converts in the secondary market. Hedge funds and
broker/dealers hold around $30 billion of Converts and ensure
efficient pricing.
43
<PAGE> 45
SALOMON BROTHERS INC
Exchange of Securities via Merger
REDISTRIBUTION OF CONVERT TO NATURAL HOLDERS (CONTINUED)
o In other MLP buy-ins where holders were offered securities,
many holders either sold their units upon the announcement of
the transaction or sold the distributed securities soon after
a transaction was consummated. The resulting price pressure
in the security can make it more difficult for unitholders who
want to sell to obtain full value until the securities trade
on a fully distributed basis.
o Retail investors, making up the vast majority of VLP
Unitholders, are not natural owners of Converts. Converts are
primarily held by institutions. For example, the $275 million
Ashland Oil Convert is 59% institutional, $100 million Tosco
Convert is 60% institutional and Diamond Shamrock's $100
million 144A Convert is 100% institutional (held by Qualified
Institutional Buyers).
o Because the VLP Unitholders who receive a Convert in the
exchange offer will typically receive small amounts,
intermediation by securities firms will be necessary to effect
redistribution. However, most institutional firms will only
bid for even lots (multiples of 100).
o To induce securities firms to undertake this intermediation, a
sufficient arbitrage must be available to cover transaction
costs and provide an adequate profit. As part of the
redistribution, hedge funds and securities firms will purchase
the Converts and short the VLO stock.
o As a result, we would expect that a Convert may trade down
until the securities are in hands of natural buyers (i.e.
fully distributed).
44
<PAGE> 46
SALOMON BROTHERS INC
Exchange of Securities via Merger
STRATEGY FOR SETTING THE TERMS ON THE CONVERT IN AN EXCHANGE OF SECURITIES
o Key decision is which of the Convert terms should be set in
conjunction with the offer to the special committee.
o If terms are fully set in initial proposal, the Special
Committee may be forced to reconsider its approval if either
interest rates or the VLO stock price change prior to the
closing.
o It may be desirable to stipulate the dividend rate at the time
the offer is made and let the conversion price be set just
prior to the closing, based on a predetermined formula.
o No precedent to using Convert under these circumstances.
o Terms of Convert will vary based on rating agency reactions
and VLO's stock price reaction on announcement.
o THE KEY POINT IS THAT IN THIS CASE, THE TERMS OF THE CONVERT
WILL BE SET THROUGH NEGOTIATION WITH THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE,
NOT BY THE MARKET.
o Trading of VLO's underlying common will be significantly
affected by arbitrageurs shorting VLO to hedge their
positions.

Cash Offer via Merger
TRANSACTION SUMMARY
[GRAPH]
o VLO makes cash offer via a merger transaction to unitholders.

o Closing of the cash merger and pricing of the underwritten
Convert are almost simultaneous.

Cash Offer via Merger
MECHANICS OF TRANSACTION
o VLO Board approves of cash offer for VLP units subject to

o VLO communicates offer to VNGC Board of Directors.
o VNGC Board of Directors would then set up a Special Committee
of independent directors to consider VLO's offer. Special
Committee would select a financial advisor and legal counsel
to evaluate offer.
o VNGC Board would announce that it had received an offer from
VLO to be financed with a new Convert issue and that a Special
Committee had been formed to consider the offer.
o VLO would promptly file registration statement for the Convert
with the SEC.
- registration statement would include Pro Forma financial
statements and Use of Proceeds.
o Special Committee would negotiate with VLO.
o If a transaction has been approved by the Special Committee,
VLO may need to file an amended Registration Statement for the
Convert.
o Following a review by the SEC, proxy statement would be mailed
to unitholders.
o VLP unitholders would vote on the merger after 30 days.
o VLO would formally market and price the Convert offering
immediately after the unitholder vote.
o Merger and convert issue completed simultaneously; unitholders
receive cash.

- Credit ratios and business issues
- Sensitivity analysis to key factors
BASE ASSUMPTIONS:
o Management projections and consolidating journal entries for
VLO and VLP

Equity Research Coverage
WE EXPECT RESEARCH ANALYSTS AND WALL STREET WILL CONTINUE TO TRADE AND FOLLOW
VLO PRIMARILY AS A REFINER.
o VLO is currently followed by refining equity research analysts
at the major Wall Street firms although it already owns 49% of
VLP. VLP is covered by equity research primarily at small and
regional firms.
o The intrastate pipeline and gas processing sector is also not
well covered by equity research analysts at major firms.
o Refining will still contribute to the majority of the cash
flow and stock price volatility in VLO.
o Refining has been "good" to Wall Street and the analysts who
have followed VLO will not give up coverage easily or
immediately.
o Interstate gas pipeline equity research analysts at major Wall
Street firms have a somewhat negative view of the intrastate
and processing component of interstate pipelines that they
follow.

Equity Market Reaction
IMPACT ON VLO STOCK PRICE
o Limited price impact expected upon full dissemination of
information regarding the transaction
- VLO already owns 49% of VLP and also owns 100% of some
natural gas assets.
- Increased leverage will be viewed negatively.
o In general, leveraged companies trade at lower
multiples.
- Some benefit from diversified earnings and
elimination of uncertainty as to future
intent of VLP. Communicating rationale for
the buy-in and future strategy to investors
is critical.
- Neutral to accretive on EPS and cash flow per share.
o Analysts will still view VLO as a refiner.
- However, demonstrated growth in gas business
will influence future trading multiples.
o Volatility in VLO stock price will probably still be driven by
refining.
o Financial impact on VLO is complex and requires good
communication with analysts and investors.
IMPACT ON VLP UNIT PRICE
o If offer cash, will move almost to the offer price.
o If offer securities, may move close to the offer price.
- Depends on how specific the Convert terms are on
announcement.

SALOMON BROTHERS INC
Convertible Market Overview
RECENT CONVERTIBLE MARKET CONDITIONS
o RECORD NEW ISSUES. The lowest interest rate environment in recent
history, coupled with record equity market valuations, has resulted
in the highest level of new convertible issuance ever observed.
1993's convertible market issuance should surpass 1992's record $19
billion level.
o AGGRESSIVE TERMS. Corporate issuers have been afforded extraordinary
flexibility in setting coupons, conversion premiums, and call
features. Almost every convertible priced this year has had a coupon
below 6.5%, with many in the 4.5-5.5% range. Conversion premiums
have routinely been set in the 24-26% range, with some even higher.
o STRONG INVESTOR DEMAND. At least 85% of the convertibles priced
during 1993 have been either increased or oversubscribed. Two recent
issues that Salomon Brothers managed, Stone Container and Battle
Mountain Gold, were oversubscribed four and ten times respectively.
o RECORD REDEMPTIONS. Because of the record level of convertible
redemptions, there has been only a minor net increase in convertible
securities outstanding. This trend has left convertible investors
with large cash reserves and eager for new investment opportunities.
o STRONG SECONDARY MARKET. During the first eight months of 1993,
Salomon Brothers' Convertible Securities Index has generated total
returns of 15.8%, compared with 8.4% for the S&P 500.

Convertible Market Overview
RECENT CONVERTIBLE MARKET CONDITIONS
o EXPANDED INVESTOR BASE. The new convertible issue market is
attracting new investors, including straight equity funds, income
funds, bond funds, and insurance companies. Many of these investors
had not previously been meaningful players in the convertible market.
o EXPANDED ISSUER UNIVERSE. The market has grown increasingly
receptive to companies that have not previously tapped the
convertible market, including single-B credits and issuers with
relatively high dividend yields.
o PRODUCT INNOVATION. Unprecedented investor demand has given
corporations flexibility to issue advantageous new structures,
including DECS, Stock Settled Convertible Preferred Stock and ELKS.
o SHELF REGISTRATION. Issuers, including Time Warner, Masco Tech,
Comcast and First Chicago, are increasingly taking advantage of
revised S.E.C. shelf filing requirements to minimize the S.E.C.
review period and enhance their timing flexibility.
o RULE 144A. Nearly 25% of 1993's new issue volume has been issued
under Rule 144A, in order to avoid the S.E.C. review, shorten the
road show process, and increase timing flexibility.

APPENDIX 6 (PRESENTATION OF GRAPHIC MATERIAL IN EDGAR FORMAT)
1. The graph appearing behind Tab B ("Valuation Summary") entitled "Price
& Volume Profile of VLP--Valero Natural Gas Partners, LP--Daily Data" is
omitted. The omitted graph presents publicly available information regarding
the price and volume of the publicly traded partnership units of Valero Natural
Gas Partners, LP ("VLP") from 12/30/88 to 10/01/93. The graph presents
fluctuations in the market price per share of the VLP units after the
occurrence of significant events affecting the VLP units. The graph
illustrates that the market price per VLP unit decreased from approximately $15
to below $12 after the announcement in April 1991 that VLP might cut the amount
of its distributions to unitholders in 1992 (trading volume was extraordinarily
high immediately following the announcement). The graph illustrates that the
market price per VLP unit continued to decrease through 03/18/92 when Valero
Energy Corp. announced the proposed purchase of $83 million of South Texas
assets, with the price ultimately reaching a low of approximately $8 per unit
in July 1992 when VLP cut the amount of its distribution from $0.635 to $0.125
per unit. The graph further illustrates that the market price per VLP unit
increased to approximately $9 1/4 at 10/01/93 (one year after VLP announced
improved earnings results in October 1992). The graph also illustrates that
the daily trading volume for the VLP units generally averaged approximately
30,000 units during the period presented by the graph. The graph shows that
trading volumes were generally 8 to 10 times such average immediately following
the aforementioned announcements.

an announcement in April 1991 warning that VLP may cut distribution in 1992.
The graph further illustrates that the dividend yield percentage decreased from
