Item 5.  Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure
         -----------------------------------------

     On  February 4, 2004, we announced that we have agreed to sell
our  Aruba refinery and related assets and marketing affiliates  to
Valero Energy Corporation for a total of $640 million.  On February
4, 2004, we filed a Form 8-K attaching a copy of the press release.
This   press  release  contained  an  incorrect  date.  The  second
paragraph, second sentence of the press release, should read  "With
the  net proceeds from this transaction, we will have announced  or
sold  approximately $636 million of petroleum assets since December
1,   2003,  exceeding  the  $500-million  to  $600-million   target
established  in our plan" rather than "With the net  proceeds  from
this transaction, we will have announced or sold approximately $636
million of petroleum assets since December 31, 2003, exceeding  the
$500-million  to $600- million target established in our  plan"  as
originally issued inadvertently.


                            SIGNATURES

     Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934,  the  registrant has duly caused this report to be signed  on
its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
