ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

       On March 22, 1995, Virginia Electric and Power Company
(the Company) received a termination notice from Salomon 
Brothers Inc (the "Representative") as representative of the
Underwriters named in Schedule II of the Underwriting
Agreement dated March 22, 1995, a copy of which is included
in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed March 22,

of 1933, which registration statement was declared effective
on October 6, 1993 (File No. 33-50423). A copy of the New
Underwriting Agreement including exhibits thereto, is filed as
