Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant (for the Chevron
        Corporation Profit Sharing/Savings Plan only)

On December 18,2000,  PricewaterhouseCoopers  LLP  resigned as the  independent
accountant for the Chevron Corporation Profit Sharing / Savings Plan. The change
in independent  accountants is limited to the Plan ("the Plan") and was approved
by the Comptroller of Chevron Corporation.

The reports of  PricewaterhouseCoopers  LLP on the financial  statements for the
past two years contained no adverse opinion, or disclaimer of opinion,  and were
not  qualified  or  modified  as  to  uncertainty,  audit  scope  or  accounting
principle.

In  connection  with its audits for the two most recent fiscal years and through
December 18, 2000, there have been no disagreements with  PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP regarding  any matters with respect to  accounting  principles or practices,
financial statement disclosure or audit scope or procedure,  which disagreements
if not resolved to the  satisfaction of  PricewaterhouseCoopers  LLP, would have
caused them to make reference hereto in their report on the financial statements
for such years.

Effective December 19, 2000, Morris,  Davis & Chan LLP was engaged as the Plan's
independent accountant.
