Item 5.  Other Events

    Alternate Proposed General Rate Case Decision

        On November 21, 1995, California Public Utilities
Commission (CPUC) President Daniel Fessler issued an alternate
proposed decision on Southern California Edison's (Edison)
1995 General Rate Case.  The proposed decision would reduce
operating revenues to Edison by approximately $120 million in
1996, including reduced operating and maintenance funds and a
reduced rate of return on San Onofre, compared to the $67
million reduction specified in a settlement between Edison,
San Diego Gas & Electric Company and the Division of Ratepayer
Advocates reached in November 1994.

        The alternate order is a proposal and may be accepted,
rejected or modified by the CPUC.  Comments on the proposed
decision are due by November 29 and a formal CPUC decision is
currently anticipated on December 6.  A copy of a press
release issued by Edison on November 22 concerning the
alternate proposed decision is filed herewith as Exhibit 20.
