CONSENT SOLICITATION STATEMENT

The enclosed consent is solicited by the Board of Directors of Enron

amendment to the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Revised
Amendment"), as hereinafter defined. In order to be counted, consents must be
delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the
Company, 1400 Smith St., Houston, Texas 77002, no later than June 13, 1994.
This consent solicitation statement and the related consent are to be first
sent or given to the shareholders of the Company on approximately May __, 1994.
Any shareholder giving a consent may revoke it at any time provided written
notice of such revocation is received by the Vice President, Communications and
Corporate Secretary of the Company on or before June 13, 1994; otherwise, if
received in time, properly completed consents will be tabulated in accordance
with the instructions specified thereon.

Holders of record at the close of business on May 18, 1994, of the
Company's Common Stock, no par value (the "Common Stock"), will be entitled to
one vote per share. On May 18, 1994, the record date, there were outstanding
79,928,500 shares of Common Stock. There are no other voting securities
outstanding.

In order to approve the Revised Amendment, holders of a majority of
the outstanding shares entitled to vote must consent to the Revised Amendment.
ENRON CORP. BENEFICIALLY OWNS A SUFFICIENT NUMBER OF SHARES TO AUTHORIZE THE
REVISED AMENDMENT WITHOUT THE AFFIRMATIVE VOTE OF ANY OTHER SHAREHOLDER. ENRON
CORP. HAS INFORMED THE COMPANY THAT IT INTENDS TO CONSENT TO THE REVISED
AMENDMENT. THE COMPANY IS SOLICITING CONSENTS SOLELY BECAUSE SUCH SOLICITATION
IS REQUIRED UNDER THE RULES OF THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE. HOWEVER, THE
REVISED AMENDMENT WILL BE ADOPTED EVEN IF NO SHAREHOLDER OTHER THAN ENRON CORP.
DELIVERS A CONSENT IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. See "Amendment of Restated
Certificate of Incorporation--Required Vote."

The cost of any solicitation of consents will be borne by the Company.
Arrangements may also be made with brokerage firms and other custodians,

such brokerage firms, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for reasonable out
of pocket expenses incurred by them in connection therewith.

AMENDMENT OF RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

BACKGROUND

At the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company held on May 3,
1994 (the "Annual Meeting"), the shareholders of the Company approved an
amendment to the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation that would,
contingent upon a stock split of either two-for-one or three-for-two being
declared on or before May 3, 1995, amend the Company's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of Common Stock that
the Company has authority to issue from 80 million shares to (i) 160 million
shares in the event of a stock split of two-for-one, or (ii) 120 million in the
event of a stock split of three-for-two (the "Pending Amendment").

On May 3, 1994, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a
two-for-one stock split in the form of a 100% stock dividend (the "Stock
Split"). The additional shares to be issued in connection with the Stock Split
will be issued on June 15, 1994 to holders of record on May 31, 1994. As a
result, under the terms of the Pending Amendment, the number of shares of
Common Stock would be increased to 160 million shares. For the reasons stated
below, the Board of Directors has determined to modify the Pending Amendment to
provide that the Common Stock will have a par value of $.01 per share (the
"Revised Amendment"). The Common Stock currently has no par value, and the
Pending Amendment would not have changed this characteristic of the Common
Stock.

REVISED AMENDMENT

Shareholder approval of the following resolution is necessary in order
to effect the Revised Amendment:

RESOLVED, that the resolution adopted by the shareholders of
the Company on May 3, 1994 to amend the Restated Certificate of
Incorporation is revised to read in its entirety as follows:

RESOLVED, that the Restated Certificate of
Incorporation of the Company is hereby amended by deleting
paragraph A of the Fourth Article thereof in its entirety and
substituting the following therefor:

"FOURTH: A. The total number of shares of all
classes of stock that the Corporation shall have authority to
issue is 160 million (160,000,000) shares of Common Stock, par
value $.01 per share."

In connection with the Stock Split, each holder of record of Common
Stock on May 31, 1994 will be entitled to receive a certificate representing
the additional shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Stock Split, and
the Common Stock certificates outstanding prior to the Stock Split will remain
outstanding. Because each certificate for outstanding shares of Common Stock,
without par value, will represent an equal number of shares of Common Stock,
par value $.01 per share, upon the effectiveness of the Revised Amendment,
shareholders do not need to return certificates to the Company or to the
transfer agent.

REASONS FOR THE REVISED AMENDMENT

The purpose of the Revised Amendment is to save filing fees. In
connection with the filing of certificates of amendment with the Delaware
Secretary of State, Delaware corporations are required to pay a filing fee
generally based upon the resulting increase, if any, in the corporation's
authorized capital stock. There are differences in the filing fee computations
between stock with par value and stock with no par value. For Delaware
corporations that have capital stock with no par value, a substantially greater
fee per share is prescribed for filing fee purposes. Accordingly, if the
Company were to file a certificate of amendment with the Secretary of State of
the State of Delaware in connection with the Pending Amendment, the Company
would be required to pay a filing fee of approximately $320,000. On the other
hand, if a certificate of amendment for the Revised Amendment is filed instead,
the filing fee will be $30.

The Revised Amendment will have the same effect on the Company's
capital structure as the Pending Amendment. Under both amendments, the
authorized number of shares of Common Stock will be increased to 160 million
shares. Furthermore, because the Board of Directors has allocated $.01 per
share of Common Stock to stated capital, the Revised Amendment will have the
same effect on the Company's aggregate stated capital as the Pending Amendment.

Because (i) the Revised Amendment and Pending Amendment have the same
effect on the Company's capital structure and (ii) the filing fee for the
Pending Amendment is significantly higher than the Revised Amendment, the Board
of Directors believes that the adoption of the Revised Amendment is in the best
interests of the Company and its shareholders.

3
5
NO APPRAISAL RIGHTS

Since the Revised Amendment does not involve a merger or
consolidation, shareholders have no appraisal or similar rights under Section
262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or otherwise in connection
herewith.

REQUIRED VOTE

The approval and adoption of the Charter Amendment requires the
affirmative vote of the holders of record at the close of business on May 18,
1994 of at least a majority of the voting power of the outstanding Common Stock
entitled to vote. Accordingly, under Delaware law and the Company's Restated
Certificate of Incorporation and by-laws, abstentions and broker non-votes
would have the same legal effect as a vote against this proposal, even though
this may not be the intent of the person voting.

Enron Corp. has informed the Company that it intends to consent to the
Revised Amendment. As described under the heading "Stock Ownership of Certain
Beneficial Owners," Enron Corp. beneficially owns 80.07% of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock. THE COMPANY IS SOLICITING CONSENTS BECAUSE SUCH
SOLICITATION IS REQUIRED UNDER THE RULES OF THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE.
HOWEVER, THE REVISED AMENDMENT WILL BE ADOPTED EVEN IF NO SHAREHOLDER OTHER
THAN ENRON CORP. DELIVERS A CONSENT IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.

PROPOSALS FOR 1995 ANNUAL MEETING

Pursuant to various rules promulgated by the SEC, any proposals of
holders of Common Stock of the Company intended to be presented at the Annual
Meeting of Shareholders of the Company to be held in 1995 must be received by
the Company, addressed to Angus H. Davis, Vice President, Communications and
Corporate Secretary, 1400 Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002, no later than
November 24, 1994, to be included in the Company's proxy statement and form of
proxy relating to that meeting.

In addition to the SEC rules described in the preceding paragraph, the
Company's by-laws provide that for business to be properly brought before the
Annual Meeting of Shareholders, it must be either (a) specified in the notice
of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the
Board of Directors, (b) otherwise brought before the meeting by or at the
direction of the Board of Directors, or (c) otherwise properly brought before
the meeting by a shareholder of the Company who is a shareholder of record at
the time of giving of notice hereinafter provided for, who shall be entitled to
vote at such meeting and who complies with the following notice procedures. In
addition to any other applicable requirements for business to be brought before
an annual meeting by a shareholder of the Company, the shareholder must have
given timely notice in writing of the business to be brought before an Annual
Meeting of the Shareholders of the Company to the Secretary of the Company. TO
BE TIMELY, NOTICE GIVEN BY A SHAREHOLDER MUST BE DELIVERED TO OR MAILED AND
RECEIVED AT THE PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICES OF THE COMPANY, 1400 SMITH STREET,
HOUSTON, TEXAS 77002, NO LATER THAN FEBRUARY 2, 1995. The notice shall set
forth as to each matter the shareholder proposes to bring before the annual
meeting (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before
the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual
meeting, (ii) the name and address, as they appear on the Company's books, of
the shareholder proposing such business, (iii) the acquisition date, the class
and the number of shares of voting stock of the Company which are owned
beneficially by the shareholder, (iv) any material interest of the shareholder
in such business, and (v) a representation that the shareholder intends to
appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to bring the proposed business
before the meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing by-law provisions, a
shareholder must also comply with all applicable requirements of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder with
respect to the matters set forth in the foregoing by-law provisions.
Notwithstanding anything in the Company's by-laws to the contrary, no business
shall be conducted at the annual meeting except in accordance with the
procedures outlined above.
