INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

Employee Benefits Committee of
Public Service Electric and Gas Company:

     We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of the Public Service Electric and Gas Company Thrift and Tax-Deferred
Savings Plan ( the "Plan") as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related
statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then
ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

     In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at December 31,
1993 and 1992,and the changes in net assets available for benefits for each of
the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental information by fund is
presented for the purpose of additional analysis of the basic financial
statements rather than to present information regarding the net assets
available for benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits of the
individual funds, and is not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The supplemental schedules of (1) assets held for investment as of December 31,
1993 and (2) transactions in excess of five percent of the current value of
plan assets for the year ended December 31, 1993 are presented for the purpose
of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements, but are supplementary information required by the Department of
Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. The supplemental
information and the supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's
management.  Such  supplemental information and schedules have been subjected
to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic 1993 financial
statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects when
considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   SUMMARY OF THE PLAN

The Board of Directors of Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G)
adopted the PSE&G Thrift and Tax-Deferred Savings Plan (Plan) to encourage
thrift and savings by eligible employees (Eligible Employees).  It was first
offered to Eligible Employees in 1981. The Plan was last amended effective
November 16, 1993, effective February 1, 1994.  Participation in the Plan is
entirely voluntary, except with respect to those employees who participated in
the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) Fund as a result of their
participation in PSE&G's TRASOP and/or PAYSOP, which plans were merged into
this Plan. Eligible Employees are those employees not covered by a collective
bargaining agreement and who have completed 1,000 hours of service with PSE&G
or any affiliate of PSE&G participating in the Plan (together hereafter each
called an "Employer" or collectively "Employers"). Certain Eligible Employees
may also elect to have a distribution from another qualified corporate plan
contributed as a rollover contribution with the approval of the Employee
Benefits Committee of PSE&G (Committee), the Plan Administrator. The Plan's
Trust Fund now consists of the Thrift Account Fund and the ESOP Fund, which
are separately maintained.

Under the Plan, participating Eligible Employees (Participants) may elect to
make basic deposits to Investment Funds of such  Participants choosing within
the Thrift Account Fund of 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% or 6% of their compensation
(Basic Deposits), and their respective Employer will contribute an amount equal
to 50% thereof, subject to certain exceptions and limitations (Employer
Contributions).  In addition, Participants may elect to make supplemental
deposits to such Funds in increments of 1% of Compensation up to an additional
9% of Compensation (Supplemental Deposits), subject to certain limitations,
without any corresponding matching Employer Contribution. Participants may
designate such Basic and/or Supplemental Deposits as Nondeferred (post-income
tax contributions) or Deferred (pre-income tax contributions).

The maximum amount of Deferred Deposits to a Participant's Thrift Account may
have to be limited to less than 15% of Compensation to meet requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (IRC). The extent of any such
limitation will be determined from time to time by the Committee based on the
actual pattern of Deferred Deposits by all Participants. If the  maximum
permitted percentage of Compensation for Thrift Account Deferred Deposits is
reduced, then all Deferred Deposits in excess of such percentage will
automatically be treated as Nondeferred Deposits. This will result in taxable
income to the affected Participants for Deferred Deposits in excess of any
limit so established. The Committee will attempt to assure that any such
limitation will apply only to future contributions, but it is possible that,
in order to meet requirements of the IRC, the limitation will, in some
circumstances, have to be applied retroactively.

Deferred Deposits may not generally be withdrawn until age 59-1/2. Nondeferred
Deposits, on the other hand, may be withdrawn at any time subject to certain
penalties and restrictions.

              <PAGE>14

Thrift Account Deposits are made through payroll deductions by the
Participant's Employer or rollover contributions from other qualified plans.
Deposits by Participants and contributions by their respective Employers are
transferred to a Trustee and separately held in the Plan's Thrift Account Fund
of the Trust Fund for investment and other transactions, as directed by
Participants. Participants are entitled to choose from among the Investment
Funds offered under the Plan in which to invest Deposits and Employer
Contributions.

Bankers Trust Company is the Trustee of the Trust Fund established pursuant to
the Plan.

Loan Provisions

The Trustee may, subject to the approval of PSE&G's Director-Corporate
Benefits, lend a Participant who is employed by an Employer an amount up to 50%
of the value of the vested portion of such Participant's Thrift Account and
ESOP Account, but no more than the aggregate value of such Participant's Thrift
Account or $ 50,000, whichever is less.  Any Participant loan must be for a
principal amount of $ 1,000 or more and no Participant may have more than two
loans outstanding at any time. All loans, including interest thereon, must be
repaid by payroll deductions in equal monthly installments of 12, 24, 36, 48
or 60 months as selected by the Participant. However, a Participant may repay
any such loan in full by check at any time in accordance with such rules as may
be prescribed by the Committee.  A Participant may not apply for more than one
loan in any calendar year.  A loan to a Participant is considered an investment
of such Participant's Thrift Account and repayments of principal of any loan
together with interest thereon, are invested in the Thrift Account Investment
Funds of the Plan in accordance with the Participant's then-current investment
direction for Deposits and Employer Contributions.

Each loan bears interest at a rate fixed from time to time by the Committee
taking into consideration interest rates currently then being charged. The rate
of interest applicable to any loan at its inception remains in effect for the
duration of such loan.  During all of 1993, the rate of interest on loans
granted to Participants, was 6%. (See Note 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -
 Loans)

2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements of the Plan have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Dividends and Interest

Dividends, interest, and other income attributable to each Investment Fund of
the Plan are reinvested in that Investment Fund to the extent not used to pay
direct expenses of that Fund. (See Expenses of Plan, below.)
              <PAGE>15

All Deposits and Employer Contributions to Fixed Income Fund C earn interest
at the composite rate of all Guaranteed Investment Contracts of insurance
companies (GICs) in which the assets of such fund are then invested. Such rate
varies as such GICs mature or are entered into and as Deposits and Employer
Contributions are made to and withdrawn from such GICs. Under the GICs in
effect during 1992, the composite rate of  interest earned by such assets so
invested was not less than 7.3%.

ESOP Account Participants receive quarterly payments directly from the  Trustee
equal to the dividends paid to the Trustee on the shares of Common Stock of
Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated (Enterprise), the  parent of
PSE&G, held for their ESOP Account.

Valuation of Investments

Investments of Equities Growth Fund A, Balanced Fund B, Enterprise Common Stock
Fund D, Stock Index Equities Fund E, Utilities Equities Fund F, Government
Securities Fund G and the shares of Enterprise Common Stock held by the ESOP
Fund are based upon quoted market values. The Plan has invested the assets of
Fixed Income Fund C in GICs. The value of Fixed Income Fund C is based on the
contract value of all GICs in which the assets of the fund are invested.
Temporary investments are valued at cost which approximates fair market value.
Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date.

The Plan's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with he
financial reporting requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974, as amended, (ERISA) as permitted applicable  rules. Under such
requirements, realized gains and losses from securities transactions are
computed using an adjusted cost basis as prescribed by the Department of
Labor's (DOL) Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure.  The adjusted
cost is the fair value of the security at the beginning of the Plan year, or
cost if acquired since that date. Unrealized gains and losses on securities
held for investment are computed on the basis of the change in fair value
between the beginning and ending of the Plan year.

Expenses of Plan

All expenses incurred in connection with the administration of the Plan,
including expenses of the Trustee, but excluding brokerage commissions and
taxes relating to the sale of shares of Enterprise Common Stock at the
direction of Participants, were paid directly by PSE&G and its Participating
Affiliates.

                <PAGE>16

The assets of Common Stock Fund D and ESOP Account are invested in shares of
Enterprise Common Stock. Shares of Enterprise Common Stock required for Fund
D are purchased by the Trustee either directly from Enterprise, at its sole
discretion, or on the open market through a broker or, starting 1994, from the
ESOP Account. All shares sold for Common Stock Fund D and the ESOP Account are
sold by the Trustee on the open market through a broker. Brokerage commissions
and taxes are paid by the Participants.  However, starting in 1994, in
situations where the ESOP in a "sell" position an Fund D is in a "buy"
position, Fund D will buy from the ESOP at the closing price on the NY Stock
Exchange.  In such case no brokerage commissions are charged in the
transaction.

Loans

A loan to a Participant is considered an investment of such Participant's
Thrift Account and the principal amount of the loan is treated as a separate
investment within the various sub-accounts of the Participant's Thrift Account.
Repayments of the principal amount of the loan are credited to each such sub-
account, and repayments of principal along with any accrued interest thereon
are invested in the Plan's Investment Funds in the same manner as the
Participant's then-current investment direction for Deposits and Employer
Contributions. Loan amounts are taken from sub-accounts of a Participant's
Thrift Account in the following order:

(a)  Deferred Deposits
(b)  Unmatured vested Employer Contributions
(c)  Matured vested Employer Contributions
(d)  Rollover Contributions
(e)  Unmatured post-1986 Nondeferred Deposits
(f)  Matured post-1986 Nondeferred Deposits
(g)  Pre-1987 Nondeferred Deposits

Each loan is secured by an assignment of the Participant's entire right, title
and interest in and to the Trust Fund to the extent of the loan and accrued
interest thereon (See Note 1. SUMMARY OF THE PLAN - Loan Provisions).

Interfund Transfers - ESOP Account to Thrift Account

Participants are permitted to transfer all, but not less than all, shares from
their ESOP Accounts to their Thrift Accounts. To effect such transfers, the
Trustee will sell the shares of Enterprise Common Stock held in the ESOP
Account and invest the proceeds in the Thrift Account Funds designated by the
Participant. The cash value of each share of Enterprise Common Stock so
transferred will be equal to the price per share of Enterprise Common Stock
actually received by the Trustee. Any such transfer is treated as a rollover
contribution.

              <PAGE>17

Vesting

Employer Contributions to a Participant's Thrift Account are immediately vested
upon a Participant's completion of five years of service with the Employer or
when a Participant is eligible for an immediately payable retirement benefit,
attains age 65, is disabled, is laid off or dies.  All amounts credited to a
Participant's ESOP Account are fully vested.

Penalties upon Withdrawal

If a Participant withdraws his entire vested Employer Contributions and/or
Deposits before they have been in the Plan for two full calendar years, such
Participant loses the matching Employer Contributions on Deposits made during
the subsequent three months.  Distributions to Participants electing to
withdraw Non-Deferred Deposits and Employer Contributions are made as soon as
practicable after such elections are received by the Plan Administrator. Non-
Deferred Deposits may be withdrawn at any time but certain penalties may apply.
Deferred Deposits may not be withdrawn during employment prior to age 59-1/2
except for reasons of extraordinary financial hardship and to the extent
permitted by the IRC.  Distributions to Participants of approved hardship
withdrawals are made as soon as practicable after such approval.

Benefits Payable

In 1993, the Plan changed its method of accounting for benefits payable to
comply with the 1993 AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide, Audits of Employee
Benefit Plans.  The new guidance requires that benefits  payable to persons who
have withdrawn from participation in a defined contribution plan be disclosed
in the footnotes to the financial statements rather than be recorded as a
liability of the Plan.  As of December 31, 1993, the net assets available for
benefits included benefits of $2,420,944 due to Participants who have withdrawn
from active participation in the Plan.

              <PAGE>19

b.   ESOP Fund

Shares of Enterprise Common Stock held as assets of the Plan's ESOP Fund were
transferred to the Plan in 1988 as a result of the spin-off and merger with the
Plan of the non-bargaining unit portions of the PSE&G's former TRASOP and
PAYSOP. No additional contributions in or transfers into the ESOP Fund are
presently permitted or were allowed during 1993.

4. UNIT VALUE INFORMATION - THRIFT ACCOUNT INVESTMENT FUNDS

Unit values of the Investment Funds are determined the last business day of
each month, and starting February 1, 1994 will be determined at the end of each
business day (Valuation Date) by dividing the market value of net assets
available for benefits by the number of units allocated to all Participants as
of the respective Valuation Date.

New units are allocated to each Participant's Thrift Account monthly and
starting February 1, 1994 will be allocated at the end of each business day,
by dividing Deposits made by, or on behalf of, such Participant for the month
and starting February 1, 1994 for each business day, the related Employer
Contributions, if any, together with repayment of the principal amount of any
loan to the Participant's Thrift Account including interest earned thereon
during the month or business day, respectively, by the unit value determined
as of the Valuation Date. If a Participant makes a transfer between Investment
Funds, makes a withdrawal, receives a distribution or a loan, or makes a
rollover contribution, the amount so transferred, withdrawn, distributed,
loaned, or rolled over is also determined by the unit value of each Investment
Fund as of the applicable Valuation Date for such transaction.
              <PAGE>20

ESOP ACCOUNT VALUATION

Enterprise Common Stock share value is determined by using the closing market
price on the New York Stock Exchange as reported in the Wall Street Journal as
Composite Transactions. If a Participant withdraws shares, the shares are, at
Participant's election, either distributed to such Participant or sold by the
Trustee and the proceeds, net of commissions and taxes, are distributed to the
Participant.

5. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

The Internal Revenue Service determined that the Plan and its related Trust,
including the portions of the former TRASOP and PAYSOP applicable to non-
bargaining unit Participants, which portions were spun-off and merged with the
Plan effective January 1, 1988, qualified under Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of
the IRC and, as such, the Plan is exempt from taxation on its earnings.
Participants are not taxed either on Employer Contributions or on the earnings
credited to their Thrift Account Fund, until distribution of such Thrift
Account Fund.

6. COMPLIANCE WITH ERISA

The Plan is generally subject to the provisions of Titles I and II of ERISA,
including the provisions with respect to reporting, disclosure, participation,
vesting and fiduciary responsibility. However it is not subject to the funding
requirements of Title I, and benefits under the Plan are not guaranteed by the
Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation under Title IV of ERISA.


7.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The assets of Fixed Income Fund C will be invested after December 31, 1993 in
GICs with the following insurance companies which contractually provide for a
return of principal and a fixed interest rate for the contract period:

     Effective January 3, 1994, a five year contract with Provident National
     Assurance Company which will expire December 31, 1998, net effective rate
     of 5.85%.
