<b>Item 5.  Other Events.</b>

         On August 10, 2004, Edison International (the "Company") was notified that participants in the Edison
401(k) Savings Plan will not be able to change investment elections, initiate any other transactions, or access
their accounts for inquiry purposes from 1 p.m. Pacific time on Wednesday, September 15, 2004 until 5 a.m.
Pacific time on Monday, September 20, 2004 (the "Suspension Period"), in order to accommodate an upgrade to the
administrative system for the plan.  The suspension affects transactions related to investments in the Company's
common stock through the Edison International Stock Fund of the plan.  Other affected transactions include
elections to join the plan, changes to contribution rates, loan requests, form requests, and distribution and
withdrawal requests.  Because, as currently scheduled, the Suspension Period will not be more than three
consecutive business days, this information is being disclosed under Item 5 of this Form 8-K, rather than Item
11, which is required to be filed in connection with a blackout period (as defined in Rule 100(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934).  If there is a change in the scheduled beginning or ending dates of the
Suspension Period that causes it to become a blackout period (as so defined), the Company will file as soon as
reasonably practicable an additional Form 8-K containing under Item 11 the updated beginning or ending dates,
explaining the reasons for the change in the date or dates and identifying all material changes in the
information contained in this Form 8-K.

         Persons with questions about the Suspension Period should call the Retirement Savings Connection at
(877) 432-7283.  Savings Center representatives are available Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.,
Pacific time.
