ADVISORY, Nov. 21, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) --



 WHAT:     The Gas Company kicks off its annual Season of Giving
           Campaign with the presentation of a $2,500 contribution
           to the Fred Jordan Mission in downtown Los Angeles as

           a traditional Thanksgiving meal.

           The Fred Jordan Mission is a nonprofit, faith-based
           educational and relief organization committed to meeting
           the physical and spiritual needs of hungry, homeless and
           poverty stricken people, especially mothers and children
           in the inner-city.

           The Gas Company's Season of Giving Campaign is an
           employee-driven effort to spread holiday cheer and give
           back to the communities where company employees live and
           work by providing grant contributions that total $50,000
           to a range of nonprofit groups.
