California Gas Company;

2.	Based on my knowledge, this Annual Report does not contain any

15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and we have:

a)	Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused
such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under

made known to us by others within those entities, particularly
during the period in which this Annual Report is being
prepared;

5.	The registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed,
based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over
financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the audit
committee of registrant's board of directors (or persons performing
the equivalent function):

design or operation of internal controls over financial
reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the
registrant's ability to record, process, summarize and report
financial information; and

or other employees who have a significant role in the
registrant's internal controls over financial reporting.
