Item 5.  OTHER EVENTS

          On March 31, 1995, the Alaska Public Utilities Commission
(Commission) issued a bench order in the proceeding addressing the application
of AT&T Corp. (AT&T) to acquire all of the shares of Alascom, Inc. (Alascom),
filed pursuant to a previously executed stock purchase agreement between AT&T,
Pacific Telecom, Inc. (Pacific Telecom) and its wholly owned subsidiary
Alascom.  (See Part 1, Item 1, "Business - Telecommunications Operations -
Alaska Market Restructuring" on page 7 of Pacific Telecom's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994, which was incorporated by
reference in PacifiCorp's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994). 
Pacific Telecom is an 87% owned subsidiary of PacifiCorp.  

          The Commission's order approved the application of AT&T, subject to
conditions which (i) define the scope of Pacific Telecom's covenants not to
compete with AT&T in the Alaska interexchange marketplace for three years
following the sale of Alascom, (ii) require AT&T to obtain Commission approval
of any change in the business name of Alascom, (iii) require AT&T to notify
the Commission by June 1, 1995 as to which Alascom-related records AT&T
proposed to maintain outside Alaska, and (iv) require AT&T to notify the
Commission of the date it would close the purchase transaction.  The
Commission also indicated its intent to issue a subsequent substantive order
providing further explanation of its decision.

          Pacific Telecom is still awaiting approval by the Federal
Communications Commission of the proposed sale of Alascom, which approval is a
requirement of the stock purchase agreement, and continues to anticipate a
closing of the transaction by mid-year 1995.
