          LL&E Royalty Trust Announces Trust Income for July 1999

          FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

          HOUSTON (June 25, 1999)--LL&E Royalty Trust (NYSE SYMBOL - LRT)
          announced today the Trust income distribution for the month of July
          1999. This distribution represents amounts payable to the Trust with
          respect to production for the month of April 1999. Unit holders of
          record on July 6, 1999 will receive a distribution of $104,073.10 or
          approximately $.005480 per Unit payable on July 15, 1999.

          The distribution includes no proceeds from the Offshore Louisiana
          properties due to excess production costs. Excess production costs to
          be recouped from future proceeds at the Offshore Louisiana property
          total $364,000.

          The Working Interest Owner, under the terms of the Trust Conveyance,
          is permitted to escrow funds for estimated future costs such as
          dismantlement costs and capital expenditures for the properties in
          which the Trust has an interest. According to the most recent reserve
          report, estimated dismantlement costs are $9.6 million for Jay Field
          property, $2.6 million for South Pass 89 property and $3.0 million for
          Offshore Louisiana property. The Working Interest Owner has informed
          the Trust that effective with the July 1999 income distribution, it
          will begin escrowing funds from the Jay Field, South Pass 89 and
          Offshore Louisiana properties to provide for the Trust's portion of
          the estimated costs of dismantling platforms on these properties. The
          Working Interest Owner has informed the Trust that it has escrowed
          $945,000 for the production month of April 1999.

          The extent of future distributions from the properties in which the
          Trust has an interest will continue to be dependent on normal factors
          associated with oil and gas operations such as oil and gas production
          levels, prices and associated cost, timing and extent of capital
          expenditures. In addition, the amount of future distributions will
          depend on the amounts escrowed by the Working Interest Owner as
          described above.
