          ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY

          1993.

   4.     Paragraph "5" of the Certificate of Determination of Preferences
          of the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock, 6.45% Series, which is
          Exhibit I to said Restated Articles of Incorporation, as

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the dividend rate, redemption prices, rights
and terms of redemption and the voluntary liquidation preferences of
shares of such Series be and the same are hereby fixed, respectively, as
follows:

   (A)    The dividend rate of shares of such Series shall be six and
   45/100 per centum (6.45%) per annum of the par value of the shares
   thereof.  Dividends on shares of such Series, when and as declared,
   shall be payable quarterly on the last day of March, June, September
   and December, respectively, with the first such dividend payable on
   September 30, 1992.

   (B)    The shares of such Series shall not be subject to redemption by
   this corporation prior to June 30, 2002.

   (C)    The outstanding shares of such Series shall be mandatorily
   redeemed in whole and not in part on June 30, 2002, at the redemption
   price of $100.00 per share, together with an amount equal to all
   accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to and including the date of
   redemption (this corporation's obligation above in this paragraph (C)
   being hereinafter referred to as the "Mandatory Redemption Obligation")
   in accordance with the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation.
   
   (D)    In no event, so long as any shares of such Series shall be
          outstanding, shall any dividend, whether in cash or property, be
          paid or declared, nor shall any distribution be made, on any
          stock of this corporation ranking junior to shares of such Series
          as to payment of dividends or liquidation preferences nor shall
          any shares of such stock ranking junior to such Series be
          purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for value by this
          corporation, unless this corporation shall have redeemed,
          pursuant to paragraph (C) above, the shares of such Series
          required to have been theretofore redeemed pursuant to such
          paragraph (C).  The provisions of this paragraph (D) shall in no

      Stock, 6.45% Series, which was filed as Exhibit I to the Restated
      Articles of Incorporation on June 1, 1993, was not the correct
      attachment.  Paragraph "5" of the Certificate of Determination as
      corrected above, conforms the wording of Exhibit I to that which was
      adopted by the Board of Directors on July 7, 1992, and was
      previously filed with the Secretary of State on July 17, 1992.
