                                  SCHEDULE 13D
                                  ------------

     EXPLANATORY NOTES: This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the
statement on Schedule 13D originally filed by Richard D. Kinder (the "Reporting
Person") on October 8, 1999 (re-filed on November 16, 1999) (the "Schedule 13D")
relating to the shares of common stock, par value, $5.00 per share, of Kinder
Morgan, Inc. (the "KMI Common Stock"). The principal terms used but not defined
herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

     Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 1 does not
modify any of the information previously reported on the Schedule 13D. This
Amendment No. 1 speaks as of its date and no inference should be drawn that no
change has occurred in the facts set forth herein after the date hereof.

     The Reporting Person intends to participate with a group of other investors
in a proposal to acquire all of the outstanding KMI Common Stock. Promptly after
the filing of this Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D, the persons
participating in such proposal, including the Reporting Person, intend to file a
statement on Schedule 13D with respect to the KMI Common Stock as a group (the
"Group Schedule 13D"). Once the Group Schedule 13D is filed, the Schedule 13D
shall be considered amended and supplemented by the Group Schedule 13D and any
and all amendments thereto, and no additional amendments to the Schedule 13D
will be made unless or until the Group Schedule 13D is no longer applicable.
Readers are directed to the Group Schedule 13D and any and all amendments
thereto for future information regarding the Reporting Person with respect to
the KMI Common Stock.

     ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER

     No change.

     ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

     (b) The business address of the Reporting Person is 500 Dallas Street,
Suite 1000, Houston, Texas 77002.

     ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

     No change.

     ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

     The Governance Agreement has expired and the Group Schedule 13D will be
filed, so Item 4 is amended and restated to read as follows:

          (a)-(j) The Reporting Person intends to participate with a group of
     other investors in a proposal to acquire all of the outstanding KMI Common
     Stock. The persons participating in such proposal, including the Reporting


                                  Page 3 of 5

     Person, intend to file the Group Schedule 13D, which will provide
     additional information regarding the acquisition proposal.

          The Reporting Person may make additional purchases of KMI Common Stock
     either in the open market or in private transactions.

          The Reporting Person reserves the right to formulate specific plans or
     proposals with respect to, or to change his intentions

     regarding, any or all of the foregoing.

     ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

     No changes.

     ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH
             RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

     The Governance Agreement has expired, so all references to the "Governance
Agreement" in Item 6 are deleted.

     ITEM 7. MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.

     The Governance Agreement has expired, so all references to the "Governance
Agreement" in Item 7 are deleted.
