Item 5.  Other Events.

A.       Stock Repurchase Plan

         On July 17,  1998,  the  Board of  Directors  of  Edison  International
adopted a new program to repurchase $500 million worth of outstanding  shares of
common  stock.  This program is in addition to the current  $1.5 billion  common
stock repurchase program which is substantially  completed.  A copy of the press
release  issued by Edison  International  on July 17 pertaining to the new stock
repurchase program is attached hereto as Exhibit 20.1 and incorporated herein by
reference.

B.       California Voter Initiative

         As previously reported in Item 5 of the Registrant's  Current Report on
Form 8-K dated July 13, 1998,  Californians for Affordable and Reliable Electric
Service,  A  Coalition  of  California  Business   Organizations  and  Utilities
("CARES"),  filed a petition for writ of mandate with the Court of Appeal of the
State of California,  Third Appellate District  (Californians for Affordable and
Reliable  Electric Service v. Bill Jones, et al., No. 3 Civ. C029528) on May 22,
1998,  regarding a proposed voter initiative  (Proposed  Initiative No. SA 97 RF
0064),  filed with the California  Attorney General by individuals  representing
The Utility  Reform  Network,  Public Media Center,  and the  Coalition  Against
Utility Taxes. This voter initiative, which qualified for the November ballot on
June  24,  1998,  was  designated  by  the  California  Secretary  of  State  as
Proposition 9 on July 17, 1998. The CARES petition  challenged  Proposition 9 as
illegal  and  unconstitutional  on its  face,  and  sought to remove it from the
November  1998  ballot.  On July 2, 1998,  the Court of Appeal  denied the CARES
petition.  On July 6,  1998,  CARES  filed  its  appeal of the  denial  with the
California  Supreme Court. On July 15, 1998, the California Supreme Court denied
the CARES  petition for  pre-election  review.  In these  rulings,  the Court of
Appeal of the State of California,  Third Appellate District, and the California
Supreme  Court both have  decided,  in effect,  not to consider  the legality or
constitutionality of Proposition 9 prior to the November 1998 ballot.

         On July 20, 1998, Edison Select, a subsidiary of Edison  International,
