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
