ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

The  Condensed  Statement  of Consolidated Cash Flows  included  in  Pacific
Enterprises'  Quarterly Report to Shareholders for the quarter  ended  March
31,  1997 incorrectly states the amounts for that quarter for the line items
"Increase  (Decrease) in Cash and Cash Equivalents" and "Net  Cash  Used  in
Investing Activities."  The correct amounts are $27 million and $46 million,
respectively, as correctly reported in Pacific Enterprises' Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q for the quarter then ended.
