PROSPECTUS
                           GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY
                      20,000,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
          GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY SHARE INVESTMENT PLAN FOR GE IRAS

The General Electric Company Share Investment Plan for GE IRAs (the "GE Stock
IRA Plan") is intended to provide to certain share owners of General Electric
Company ("GE"), who have established self-directed individual retirement
accounts using the proprietary form developed by GE Investment Management
Incorporated ("GE IRAs"), a convenient means to purchase, hold, and sell
shares of GE common stock as well as to reinvest cash dividends paid on such
shares of GE common stock in additional shares for their GE IRAs. The GE
Stock IRA Plan is intended to provide holders of GE IRAs with a GE common
stock investment alternative to complement the GE Funds otherwise available
to GE IRAs for investment.

Participation in the GE Stock IRA Plan is permitted only by persons who have
established GE IRAs and who meet the eligibility requirements of the GE Stock
IRA Plan (a "Participant"). A Participant in the GE Stock IRA Plan:

- --May direct the purchase of shares of GE common stock for his or her GE IRA.

- --May direct the sale of shares of GE common stock held in his or her GE IRA.

- --Will generally have cash dividends on shares of GE common stock held in his
or her GE IRA automatically reinvested in additional shares of GE common
stock.

Purchases and sales under the GE Stock IRA Plan, including purchases for
purposes of dividend reinvestment, will be executed in open market or
negotiated transactions, except certain purchases may be made directly from
GE. See "DESCRIPTION OF THE GE STOCK IRA PLAN -- Purchases and Sales of GE
Common Stock." Purchases (other than purchases directly from GE) and sales
may be executed on any securities exchange upon which GE common stock is
traded, in the over-the-counter market, or in negotiated transactions. The
price per share of any purchase directly from GE will be the average of the
high and low sales prices of a share of GE common stock as reported on the
New York Stock Exchange Consolidated Tape for the day of such purchase. In
all other respects, purchases and sales may be on such terms as to price,
delivery, and other matters as the Administrator (defined below) of the GE
Stock IRA Plan, in its sole discretion, may determine. Applicable brokerage
fees and commissions will be paid by Participants. See "DESCRIPTION OF THE GE
STOCK IRA PLAN -- Brokerage Fees, Commissions, and Other Costs." GE common
stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and the Boston Stock Exchange,
as well as on certain foreign exchanges, including The Stock Exchange,
London, and the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

In addition to investments in GE common stock under the GE Stock IRA Plan,
investments for GE IRAs may be made in the GE Funds, a family of mutual funds
managed by GE Investment Management Incorporated ("GE Investments"), a wholly
owned subsidiary of GE. Although participation in the GE Stock IRA Plan is
limited to eligible persons who have established GE IRAs, this Prospectus
does not provide information for persons who are considering whether to
establish a GE IRA or whether to invest in the GE Funds. To receive a GE IRA
Disclosure Statement and Custodial Account Agreement and a GE IRA Account
Application, or a current prospectus relating to the GE Funds, which includes

COMPARISON OF THE GE STOCK IRA PLAN AND THE GE DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND
SHARE PURCHASE PLAN

GE offers, in addition to the GE Stock IRA Plan, the General Electric Company
Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan (the "GE DRP") to owners of GE
common stock. The GE DRP is entirely separate from the GE Stock IRA Plan.

The principal differences between the GE Stock IRA Plan and the GE DRP are as
follows:

- --The GE Stock IRA Plan is available for participation by share owners only
through a GE IRA. Thus, purchases and sales of GE common stock under the GE
Stock IRA Plan may only be made for the Participant's GE IRA, and only
dividends on shares held in such GE IRA may be reinvested under the GE Stock
IRA Plan. The GE DRP is available for participation by share owners directly
or, if the share owner's GE common stock is registered in the name of a
broker, bank, trustee, or other nominee, the broker, bank, trustee, or other
nominee may agree to participate in the GE DRP for the benefit of the share
owner. Participation in the GE DRP through a GE IRA is not permitted under
the terms of the GE IRA. A share owner could participate in the GE DRP
through a self-directed individual retirement account ("IRA") other than a GE
IRA, but only if the custodian of such IRA causes the account to be
registered as a share owner or otherwise arranges for the IRA to participate
in the GE DRP.

- --Purchases under the GE Stock IRA Plan, other than for purposes of dividend
reinvestment, generally will be executed on the first business day after the
Participant's purchase order is received. Such purchases under the GE DRP
generally will be executed only once each month. Sales under the GE Stock IRA
Plan generally will be executed on the first business day after the
Participant's sales order is received. Sales under the GE DRP are executed as
promptly as practicable after the participant has submitted a notice
requesting a sale and instructions are issued to the bank that administers
the GE DRP.

- --Participants in the GE Stock IRA Plan will pay brokerage fees and
commissions relating to purchases (other than purchases directly from GE),
including purchases for purposes of dividend reinvestment. Participants in
the GE DRP pay no brokerage fees and commissions in connection with
purchases. Participants pay brokerage fees and commissions with respect to
sales under both the GE Stock IRA Plan and the GE DRP.

- --Cash dividends on shares of GE common stock held under the GE Stock IRA
Plan are automatically reinvested in additional shares of GE common stock,
except that a Participant who has attained age 59-1/2 may elect to have all
(and not less than all) such cash dividends instead paid to his or her GE IRA
and immediately distributed to the Participant as a withdrawal. Cash
dividends on shares of GE common stock enrolled in the GE DRP are
automatically

<PAGE>
  4

reinvested in additional shares of GE common stock, until such time as the
participant terminates participation in the GE DRP or makes a written request
to have cash dividends on specified shares sent directly to the participant.

- --The GE Stock IRA Plan imposes no maximum limit on the dollar amounts of
purchases of GE common stock under the Plan, but the minimum dollar amounts
of share purchases under the GE Stock IRA Plan are the same as the lowest
minimum amounts applicable to the purchase of shares of any of the GE Funds
available under the GE IRA in like circumstances. The GE DRP limits
purchases, other than for purposes of dividend reinvestment, to a maximum of
$10,000 per monthly investment period, with a $10 minimum for purchases.
Neither the GE Stock IRA Plan nor the GE DRP places any maximum or minimum on
sales, although a Participant seeking to sell GE common stock under the GE
Stock IRA Plan in order to raise funds to invest in one or more of the GE
Funds may need to sell an amount of GE common stock sufficient to produce net
sale proceeds which, when added to other amounts available in his or her GE
IRA, will equal or exceed the minimum purchase requirements for the shares of
the GE Funds being purchased.

This is only a brief summary of the principal differences between the GE
Stock IRA Plan and the GE DRP. Further information about the GE DRP and how
to enroll in it may be obtained by contacting GE Securities Ownership
Services at P.O. Box 120068, Stamford, CT 06912-0068, or calling
1-800-786-2543.

DESCRIPTION OF THE GE STOCK IRA PLAN
General

The purpose of the GE Stock IRA Plan is to provide to certain GE share owners
who have established GE IRAs a convenient means to purchase, hold, and sell
shares of GE common stock as well as to reinvest cash dividends paid on such
shares of GE common stock in additional shares for their GE IRAs.

As discussed on page 2 of this Prospectus, GEIS disseminates information
relating to the GE Stock IRA Plan, receives Participants' orders for the
purchase and sale of GE common stock under the GE Stock IRA Plan and forwards
such orders to the Administrator, and otherwise serves as GE's share owner
servicing agent under the GE Stock IRA Plan. The Administrator, State Street
Bank and Trust Company, serves as agent under and administrator of the GE
Stock IRA Plan, and also separately serves as the GE IRA Custodian and as the
transfer agent and custodian of the GE Funds, and performs recordkeeping and
other services for GEIS in connection with the GE Stock IRA Plan and the GE
Funds. GE Investments assists the Administrator in confirming the eligibility
of persons who have established GE IRAs to become Participants in the GE
Stock IRA Plan, and also serves as investment advisor to GE Funds.

Any decision of the Administrator, including a decision as to eligibility, is
final and binding on all persons, including any Participant, any person
seeking to participate in the GE Stock IRA Plan, and any person making any
claim by or through any such persons.

Eligibility to Participate

A person is eligible to be a Participant in the GE Stock IRA Plan through a
GE IRA if such person is currently an owner of GE common stock as a
registered share owner (including as a joint owner, such as a joint tenant or
a tenant in common), or an owner of at least one whole share of GE common
stock as a participant in the GE Savings & Security Program (the "GE S&S
Program"), the GE DRP, or the GE Stock IRA Plan (collectively, an "Eligible
Share Owner"), except that an Eligible Share Owner who is not a resident of
the United States may be a Participant only if GE Investments can confirm to
the Administrator, without unreasonable effort or expense, that participation
by such Share Owner will comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
(The GE S&S Program is an employee benefit plan for current and former
employees of GE and certain subsidiaries; participation in that plan is not
open to others.) It is not, however, necessary for a person seeking to
participate in the GE Stock IRA Plan to deposit any shares of GE common stock
into his or her GE IRA; such deposits are not in any event permitted, except
in the case of tax-free rollovers and transfers as discussed below under the
caption "Rollovers and Transfers of Shares Into a GE IRA."

<PAGE>
  5

A person must be an Eligible Share Owner at any time he or she purchases GE
common stock for his or her GE IRA under the GE Stock IRA Plan. No purchase
order will be executed until the Administrator has confirmed the eligibility
of the person placing the purchase order to participate in the GE Stock IRA
Plan.

Eligibility to participate in the GE Stock IRA Plan will be determined as
promptly as practicable. The Administrator or GE Investments may, in its sole
discretion, require any person seeking to participate in the GE Stock IRA
Plan to furnish such other information as it may deem necessary or advisable
to confirm that such person is an Eligible Share Owner. The Administrator may
rely on information furnished by GE, GE Investments, and/or the person
seeking to purchase GE common stock under the GE Stock IRA Plan for purposes
of confirming eligibility to participate in the GE Stock IRA Plan.

A person who is a beneficial owner of GE common stock but whose shares are
held by a broker, bank, trustee, or other nominee, and who is not otherwise
an Eligible Share Owner, must become a registered owner of GE common stock
before he or she will be eligible to participate in the GE Stock IRA Plan.
Such person may become a registered owner by directing his or her broker,
bank, trustee, or nominee to cause a certificate for GE common stock to be
issued by GE's transfer agent in the name of such person, if permitted under
the account or other arrangement with such broker, bank, trustee, or nominee.

Alternatively, any person who is not otherwise eligible may become an
Eligible Share Owner by purchasing GE common stock in the open market, and
having the certificate for such GE common stock issued in the name of such
person. A participant in the GE S&S Program may become an Eligible Share
Owner by investing in GE common stock under that Program.

If a person seeking to make a purchase of GE common stock under the GE Stock
IRA Plan holds at least one whole share of GE common stock in his or her GE
IRA, eligibility to participate in the GE Stock IRA Plan can be confirmed
immediately, so no delay in the execution of his or her purchase order will
result. If such a person does not hold at least one whole share of GE common
stock in his or her GE IRA, the execution of his or her purchase order may be
delayed until the Administrator can confirm that such person is an Eligible
Share Owner. Further delay in the execution of such purchase order could
result if such person is required to furnish additional information relating
to eligibility. To avoid such delays, an Eligible Share Owner who has become
a Participant in the GE Stock IRA Plan may wish to continuously hold at least
one whole share of GE common stock in his or her GE IRA at all times.

How to Enroll

An Eligible Share Owner who has received a current prospectus relating to the
GE Stock IRA Plan may enroll in the GE Stock IRA Plan at the time he or she
establishes a GE IRA or thereafter.

To enroll in the GE Stock IRA Plan at the time a GE IRA is established, the
Eligible Share Owner should complete the portions of the GE IRA Account
Application (the "Application") that relate to enrollment in the GE Stock IRA
Plan (together with other parts of the Application), and return it to the
following address:

GE IRA
P.O. Box 8325
Boston, MA 02266-8325

The Application must be signed by the person seeking to participate in the GE
Stock IRA Plan, or by his or her authorized representative.

An Application may be obtained from GEIS, as follows:

In writing: GE Investment Services Inc.
            3003 Summer Street
            P.O. Box 7900
            Stamford, CT 06904-7900

By telephone: 1-800-242-0134

To enroll in the GE Stock IRA Plan after a GE IRA has been established, the
Eligible Share Owner should contact GEIS in writing or by telephone, at the
address or telephone number set forth immediately above. Unless otherwise
determined by the Administrator, such Eligible Share Owner need not submit a
new Application.

In enrolling in the GE Stock IRA Plan, an Eligible Share Owner must provide
his or her name in the

<PAGE>
  6

exact form in which it appears as a registered owner of GE common stock or as
a participant in the GE S&S Program or the GE DRP.

Purchases and Sales of GE Common Stock

A Participant may instruct the Administrator to purchase shares of GE common
stock for his or her GE IRA or to sell shares of GE common stock held in his
or her GE IRA. Instructions for such transactions may be given to GEIS for
forwarding to the Administrator, as follows:

In writing: GE IRA
            P.O. Box 8325
            Boston, MA 02266-8325

By telephone: 1-800-242-0134

Other inquiries regarding the status of a Participant's GE IRA, including
information regarding the execution of previously ordered purchases and sales
under the GE Stock IRA Plan, should be made to GEIS, as follows:

In writing: GE Investment Services Inc.
            3003 Summer Street
            P.O. Box 7900
            Stamford, CT 06904-7900

By telephone: 1-800-242-0134

If a cash contribution or tax-free rollover or transfer of cash is being
deposited into the Participant's GE IRA in connection with a purchase order
under the GE Stock IRA Plan, it should be included together with written
instructions to the Administrator. Such deposits should be made by check
payable to "State Street Bank and Trust Company, Custodian for benefit of IRA
established for (YOUR NAME)." Under no circumstances should checks be made
payable to GEIS or deposits of currency made. As described in the GE IRA
Disclosure Statement and Custodial Account Agreement, persons who have
established GE IRAs are permitted to make certain tax-free rollovers to such
GE IRAs from other qualified employee retirement plans and IRAs and transfers
from other IRAs.

A Participant must instruct the Administrator to purchase a specific dollar
amount of GE common stock; instructions to purchase a specific number of
shares of GE common stock will not be accepted. A Participant must instruct
the Administrator to sell a specific number of shares of GE common stock;
instructions to sell a specific dollar amount of GE common stock will not be
accepted. Purchases and sales may include fractional shares calculated to
three decimal places. See "Fractional Shares."

Purchase and sales orders for GE common stock received by 4:00 p.m. (New York
City Time) on a business day will be executed on the next business day (or as
promptly as practicable thereafter). Purchase and sales orders received after
4:00 p.m. (New York City Time) on a business day will be executed on the
second following business day (or as promptly as practicable thereafter).

Purchase orders (other than those executed by means of a purchase directly
from GE) and sales orders may be executed on any securities exchange upon
which GE common stock is traded, in the over-the-counter market, or in
negotiated transactions. Purchases may also be made directly from GE, if and
to the extent GE is then willing and able to sell shares through the GE Stock
IRA Plan. The price per share of any purchase of GE common stock from GE will
be the average of the high and low sales prices of a share of GE common stock
as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Consolidated Tape for the day of
such purchase. In all other respects, purchases and sales may be on such
terms as to price, delivery, and other matters as the Administrator, in its
sole discretion, may determine.

The Administrator will aggregate a Participant's purchase order with the
purchase orders of other Participants to be executed on the same day, and
will aggregate a Participant's sales order with the sales orders of other
Participants to be executed on the same day. When purchase orders are
aggregated, the price per share at which the Administrator is deemed to have
purchased shares for a Participant's GE IRA on a given day will be the
average price of all shares purchased (including purchases both directly from
GE and from other sources) for GE IRAs on that day. Likewise, when sales
orders are aggregated, the price per share at which the Administrator is
deemed to have sold shares for a Participant's GE IRA on a given day will be
the average price of all shares sold for GE IRAs on that day.

<PAGE>
  7

Purchase orders and sales orders will not be netted against one another under
the GE Stock IRA Plan.

Brokerage fees and commissions payable in connection with purchases or sales
will, in the case of purchases, be deducted from the dollar amount of the
purchase order and, in the case of sales, be deducted from the proceeds of
the sale. Such fees and commissions are calculated based on the aggregate
purchases or sales executed on a given day, and each GE IRA will pay such
fees and commissions in the same proportion that the number of shares
purchased or sold for such GE IRA bears to the aggregate number of shares
purchased or sold on that day. See "Brokerage Fees, Commissions, and Other
Costs."

A Participant's purchase order for GE common stock will be executed only if
the Participant has either made a contribution or tax-free rollover or
transfer of cash into his or her GE IRA, or will timely receive into his or
her GE IRA the proceeds of a redemption of shares of GE Funds, at least equal
to the dollar amount of the purchase order for GE common stock. A
Participant's sales order will be executed only if the Participant has in his
or her GE IRA a number of shares of GE common stock at least equal to the
number of shares to be sold. Thus, "short" sales will not be permitted under
the GE Stock IRA Plan.

There are no maximum amounts of purchases or sales of GE common stock or
limits on the frequency of purchases or sales imposed under the GE Stock IRA
Plan. As discussed in the GE IRA Disclosure Statement and Custodial Account
Agreement, however, the amount of annual contributions to a GE IRA is limited
under federal income tax laws, which may limit the amount of cash a
Participant can make available for purchases for his or her GE IRA.

The minimum dollar amounts of purchases of GE common stock under the GE Stock
IRA Plan are the same as the lowest minimum amounts applicable to the
purchase of shares of any of the GE Funds available under the GE IRA in like
circumstances. Currently, the minimum dollar amounts of purchases are $250
for initial purchases (other than through payroll deduction), $100 for
subsequent purchases, and $25 for purchases by payroll deduction.

There is no minimum number of shares of GE common stock that must be sold,
although a Participant seeking to invest in one or more of the GE Funds may
need to sell a specific amount of GE common stock in order that the net sales
proceeds are sufficient to meet the minimum purchase requirements for shares
of the GE Funds to be purchased.

If execution of a sales order would cause the Participant to have less than
one whole share remaining in his or her GE IRA, then such fractional shares
will be sold together with other shares sold pursuant to such sales order. If
at least one whole share of GE common stock will remain in a Participant's GE
IRA after a sale of Common Stock, then any shares of GE common stock
(including fractional shares) remaining after such sale will continue to be
held in his or her GE IRA.

The Administrator may, in its discretion, select one or more broker-dealers
(including a broker-dealer affiliated with the Administrator) to execute
transactions in GE common stock on behalf of Participants under the GE Stock
IRA Plan. See "Brokerage Fees, Commissions, and Other Costs."

Dividend Reinvestment

Cash dividends on shares of GE common stock held in a GE IRA will be
automatically reinvested in additional shares of GE common stock under the GE
Stock IRA Plan's dividend reinvestment feature, except that a Participant who
has attained age 59-1/2 may elect to have all (and not less than all) such
cash dividends instead paid to his or her GE IRA and immediately distributed
to the Participant as a withdrawal. Such an election by a Participant who has
attained age 59-1/2 will remain in effect until it is revoked by the
Participant. Such an election or a revocation of such election must be
received by the Administrator not less than five business days prior to the
scheduled payment date for a dividend in order to be effective for such
dividend. Such election or revocation should be communicated to the
Administrator through GEIS, by contacting GEIS in writing or by telephone as
described above under "Purchases and Sales of GE Common Stock." Additional
information regarding such election and the

<PAGE>
  8

resulting withdrawals from the Participant's GE IRA is contained in the
current GE IRA Disclosure Statement and Custodial Account Agreement.

All cash dividends paid on GE common stock held under the GE Stock IRA Plan
subject to automatic dividend reinvestment will be aggregated by GE and paid
over to the Administrator on the dividend payment date. The Administrator
will thereafter complete dividend reinvestment purchases as promptly as
practicable. The Administrator will aggregate all purchases of GE common
stock in connection with dividend reinvestment for a given dividend payment
date, but dividend reinvestment purchases will not be aggregated with other
purchases of GE common stock under the GE Stock IRA Plan. The price per share
at which the Administrator will be deemed to have purchased shares for each
GE IRA in connection with a given dividend payment by GE will be the average
price of all shares so purchased (including purchases both directly from GE
and from other sources) for dividend reinvestment for all GE IRAs in
connection with such dividend payment. In other respects, purchases for
purposes of dividend reinvestment generally will be made in the same manner
as other purchases for Participants under the GE Stock IRA Plan.

Brokerage fees and commissions payable in connection with dividend
reinvestment will be deducted from the dollar amount to be invested. Such
fees and commissions are calculated based on the aggregate purchases executed
in connection with a given dividend payment, and each GE IRA will pay such
fees and commissions in the same proportion that the number of shares
purchased for such GE IRA bears to the aggregate number of shares purchased
for all GE IRAs in respect of such dividend payment. See "Brokerage Fees,
Commissions, and Other Costs."

Dividend reinvestment is available under the GE Stock IRA Plan only for
shares of GE common stock held in a GE IRA. For information regarding the GE
DRP, through which dividend reinvestment is generally available for GE common
stock (other than shares held in a GE IRA), see "COMPARISON OF THE GE STOCK
IRA PLAN AND THE GE DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND SHARE PURCHASE PLAN."

Brokerage Fees, Commissions, and Other Costs

When the Administrator purchases or sells GE common stock for a GE IRA (other
than purchases directly from GE), including purchases for purposes of
dividend reinvestment, such GE IRA will pay applicable brokerage fees and
commissions (and transfer taxes, if any). In the case of such a purchase,
brokerage fees and commissions will be deducted from the gross amount to be
invested. In the case of a sale, brokerage fees and commissions will be
deducted from the proceeds of the sale. Participants may not make additional
contributions to their GE IRAs in order to separately pay such fees and
commissions. No brokerage fees or commissions will be charged in the case of
purchases directly from GE.

As stated above, the Administrator may, in its discretion, select one or more
broker-dealers to execute transactions in GE common stock on behalf of
Participants under the GE Stock IRA Plan. The Administrator has agreed that,
in the case of transactions executed by the Administrator's broker-dealer
affiliate, State Street Brokerage Services, Inc., the following fees and
commissions will be charged to Participants. For purposes of calculating such
fees and commissions under the GE Stock IRA Plan, a transaction will be
deemed to be the aggregate number of shares purchased (other than for
dividend reinvestment) or sold on a given day or the aggregate number of
shares purchased in connection with a given dividend payment:
- --Transactions involving 5,000 shares or less, $.10 per share, subject to a
minimum charge of $25.

- --Transactions involving more than 5,000 shares, but not more than 10,000
shares, $.08 per share.

- --Transactions involving more than 10,000 shares, $.06 per share.

Each GE IRA will pay such brokerage fees and commissions in the same
proportion that the number of shares purchased or sold for such GE IRA bears
to the aggregate number of shares purchased or sold in the transaction.

<PAGE>
  9

The Administrator may, with the agreement of GE Investments, modify the
foregoing schedule of fees and commissions. In addition, if the Administrator
selects one or more unaffiliated brokers to execute transactions under the GE
Stock IRA Plan, the fees and commissions to be charged to Participants will
be as negotiated by the Administrator.

No other costs will be imposed upon GE IRAs under the GE Stock IRA Plan,
although costs may be imposed separately with respect to GE IRAs, including
account maintenance fees and termination fees. Information regarding such
fees is set forth in the current GE IRA Disclosure Statement and Custodial
Account Agreement.

Rollovers and Transfers of Shares Into a GE IRA

A person may deposit, or cause to be deposited, shares of GE common stock
into his or her GE IRA through a tax-free rollover of shares from the
Participant's GE S&S Program account or in a tax-free rollover or transfer
from another IRA established by such person.

Such shares may be deposited by means of a direct rollover from the trustee
of the GE S&S Program or from the custodian or trustee of such other IRA to
the GE IRA Custodian. If certificates representing such rollover shares have
been issued and delivered to such person by the trustee of the GE S&S Program
or by the custodian or trustee of such other IRA, the GE IRA Custodian may
determine whether to accept the deposit of such rollover shares into such
person's GE IRA, and the manner by which such deposit may be made. The
deposit of such shares by means of a transfer may be effected only by a
transfer directly from the custodian or trustee of such other IRA to the GE
IRA Custodian.

A person contemplating a rollover or transfer of shares into his or her GE
IRA should, before initiating the transaction, contact GEIS, as follows:

In writing: GE Investment Services Inc.
            3003 Summer Street
            P.O. Box 7900
            Stamford, CT 06904-7900

By telephone: 1-800-242-0134

A person need not be a Participant in the GE Stock IRA Plan or an Eligible
Share Owner in order to deposit shares into his or her GE IRA pursuant to a
permitted rollover or transfer. Upon such deposit of shares, such person will
be deemed to be a Participant, and such shares will be deemed to be held
under the GE Stock IRA Plan.

Except for rollovers of shares from a Participant's GE S&S Program account or
another IRA or transfers from another IRA, no shares of GE common stock may
be deposited into GE IRAs under the GE Stock IRA Plan. For information about
cash rollovers and transfers, see "Purchases and Sales of GE Common Stock."

Custody of Shares

All shares purchased under the GE Stock IRA Plan for a Participant's GE IRA
or deposited into a GE IRA as a tax-free rollover or transfer from the GE S&S
Program or another IRA will be retained by the GE IRA Custodian (or its
nominee) until such shares are disposed of under the GE Stock IRA Plan.
Dispositions of such shares will occur:
- --Upon the sale of the shares at the instruction of the Participant, as
described above.

- --Upon withdrawal of the shares by the Participant, as described below.

- --Upon the tax-free rollover or transfer of such shares to another account or
entity, as described below.

Except for these methods of disposition, shares of GE common stock held by
the GE IRA Custodian under the GE Stock IRA Plan may not be pledged, sold, or
otherwise disposed of or encumbered by the Participant or by his or her GE
IRA, except as expressly permitted by the GE Stock IRA Plan and by the GE IRA
Custodian.

Withdrawals of Shares; Termination

Shares of GE common stock held under the GE Stock IRA Plan may be withdrawn
from a Participant's GE IRA (including as a distribution). In such case, one
or more certificates for whole shares will be issued in the name of, and
delivered to, the Participant. Shares held under the GE Stock IRA Plan may
also be withdrawn from a Participant's GE IRA by means of a rollover of such

<PAGE>
  10

shares into a plan qualified under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended, or a rollover or transfer into another IRA of the
Participant in accordance with such procedures as the Administrator and the
GE IRA Custodian may specify. A Participant may not designate any other
person to receive shares of GE common stock withdrawn from his or her GE IRA.

A Participant seeking to withdraw shares should give instructions to the
Administrator through GEIS, as follows:

In writing: GE Investment Services Inc.
            3003 Summer Street
            P.O. Box 7900
            Stamford, CT 06904-7900

By telephone: 1-800-242-0134

Such instructions will be acted upon as promptly as practicable.

If a withdrawal under the GE Stock IRA Plan would cause the Participant to
have less than one whole share remaining in his or her GE IRA or otherwise
require the delivery to the Participant of fractional shares credited to his
or her GE IRA, such Participant will receive cash in lieu of such fractional
shares based on the average sales price per share of GE common stock, less
applicable brokerage fees and commissions, sold under the GE Stock IRA Plan
on the day of the withdrawal or, if there were no sales under the GE Stock
IRA Plan on that day, on the next preceding day on which sales occurred under
the GE Stock IRA Plan. See "Fractional Shares."

A Participant's participation in the GE Stock IRA Plan will terminate at such
time as the Participant ceases to have at least one whole share of GE Common
Stock in his or her GE IRA, or the Participant's GE IRA or the Plan is
terminated.

No Interest Payable on Cash Amounts; Actions In Case of Unclear Instructions

No interest will be paid under the GE Stock IRA Plan to Participants or their
GE IRAs on any cash amounts held pending execution of purchases of shares of
GE common stock, resulting from sales of such shares or from dividends
thereon, or otherwise resulting under the Plan. As discussed above, execution
of a purchase order may be delayed and cash amounts held for a period of time
during which the eligibility of an Eligible Share Owner is being confirmed.
See "Eligibility to Participate."

As discussed in the GE IRA Disclosure Statement and Custodial Account
Agreement, in cases in which cash amounts are deposited but no instructions
are received with respect to the disposition of such cash amounts,
instructions received are unclear or are not permitted by the terms of the GE
Stock IRA Plan, or execution of a purchase order for shares of GE common
stock is delayed pending confirmation of eligibility, GEIS may in its
discretion either return such cash amounts to the person who deposited them
or invest and hold such amounts in the GE Money Market Fund (one of the GE
Funds) for such person's account. In cases in which cash amounts result from
the receipt of the proceeds of a sale of or cash dividends on shares of GE
common stock held under the GE Stock IRA Plan, but no instructions are
received with respect to the disposition of such cash amounts, instructions
received are unclear or are not permitted by the terms of the GE Stock IRA
Plan, or execution of a purchase order for shares of GE common stock is
delayed pending confirmation of eligibility, GEIS may in its discretion
either refrain from carrying out such instructions or invest and hold such
cash amounts in the GE Money Market Fund for such person's account.

Fractional Shares

A Participant's purchases and holdings of GE common stock under the GE Stock
IRA Plan may involve the crediting of fractional shares to the Participant's
GE IRA, and the Participant may order the sale of such fractional shares.
Such fractional shares will be calculated to three decimal places. Fractional
shares are not, however, in fact issued by GE, and certificates representing
fractional shares will not be delivered to a Participant or to his or her GE
IRA under any circumstances. As stated above, in no event will less than one
whole share continue to be held for a Participant's GE IRA. See "Purchases
and Sales of GE Common Stock" and "Withdrawals of Shares; Termination."

<PAGE>
  11

Voting of Shares Held for a GE IRA

Each Participant will be entitled to vote the number of shares of GE common
stock (including fractional shares) held for his or her GE IRA under the GE
Stock IRA Plan on any matter as to which the approval of GE's share owners is
sought. A Participant may vote by attending a meeting of GE's share owners
and casting a ballot or by granting a proxy to another person. The
Administrator will cause any proxy materials relating to a meeting of share
owners to be forwarded to each Participant, including a proxy card. If a
Participant does not vote or grant a valid proxy with respect to any shares
held under the GE Stock IRA Plan, such shares will not be voted. Similar
procedures will apply in the case of any consent solicitation of GE's share
owners.

Statements to Participants

The GE IRA Custodian will reflect purchases, sales, deposits, and withdrawals
of shares of GE common stock and other GE Stock IRA Plan transactions by
appropriate adjustments to the Participant's GE IRA.

Upon completion of each purchase and sale transaction (other than dividend
reinvestments, as discussed below) for a GE IRA, the Participant will receive
a written statement showing the type of transaction and date thereof, the
number of shares of GE common stock purchased or sold, the aggregate amount
invested (including brokerage fees and commissions) or aggregate net proceeds
of sales received (after deducting brokerage fees and commissions) by the
Participant, the purchase price per share (including brokerage fees and
commissions), the sales price per share (after deducting brokerage fees and
commissions), the brokerage fees and commissions paid per share, the total
shares held for the Participant's GE IRA (computed to three decimal places),
and other information. Additional information regarding a Participant's GE
IRA will be provided in statements relating to his or her GE IRA.

With respect to dividends and dividend reinvestments, the GE IRA Custodian
may, in lieu of the transactional statements described in the preceding
paragraph, include information regarding dividend payments and reinvestments
in quarterly statements relating to the Participant's GE IRA. In such case,
the quarterly statements will provide information regarding the amount of the
dividend payment, the disposition of any such payment, the date of any
dividend reinvestment, the number of shares of GE common stock purchased in
such dividend reinvestment, the aggregate amount invested (including
brokerage fees and commissions), the purchase price per share (including
brokerage fees and commissions), the brokerage fees and commissions paid per
share, and other information.

Extraordinary Corporate Events

Any shares of GE common stock distributed to a GE IRA as a dividend or
distribution or in connection with a stock split will be added to the
holdings of such GE IRA under the GE Stock IRA Plan. In the event of any
other non-cash dividend or distribution in respect of shares of GE common
stock held for a Participant's GE IRA, the Administrator will, if reasonably
practicable and at the direction of GE Investments, sell any property
received in such dividend or distribution as promptly as practicable and, in
the case of a Participant whose shares are subject to dividend reinvestment,
use the proceeds to purchase additional shares of GE common stock in the same
manner as cash paid over to the Administrator for dividend reinvestment, and,
in the case of a Participant who has attained age 59-1/2 and elected to have
such cash dividends paid to his or her GE IRA and immediately distributed to
the Participant as a withdrawal, pay such proceeds in cash to such GE IRA for
distribution rather than automatically reinvesting them in additional shares
of GE common stock.

Other Information

GE, GE Investments, GEIS, the Administrator, and the GE IRA Custodian will
not be liable for any act done in good faith, or for any good faith omission
to act, under the GE Stock IRA Plan, including any claims of liability with
respect to the prices at which shares of GE common stock are purchased or
sold for a GE IRA, the times such purchases or sales are made, and any change
in market value before or after the purchase or sale of shares of GE common
stock.

GE reserves the right to amend, modify, suspend, or terminate the GE Stock
IRA Plan in any respect without the consent of any Participant, and any such
change may have retroactive effect. In the event GE

<PAGE>
  12

terminates the GE Stock IRA Plan, the participation of each Participant will
cease. In such case, whether the GE IRA Custodian will continue to act as
custodian of the Participant's GE IRA and, if so, whether such custodian will
permit GE common stock to continue to be held and/or purchased or sold for
such IRA, will be determined in the sole discretion of the GE IRA Custodian.

Any amendment of the GE Stock IRA Plan may include the appointment by GE of a
successor to the then-current Administrator. No approval of Participants will
be required for any such appointment of a successor Administrator. GE may
designate any direct or indirect subsidiary of GE to perform any or all of
the functions of GE Investments or GEIS under the GE Stock IRA Plan.

A purchase or sale of GE common stock required to be made "as promptly as
practicable" under the GE Stock IRA Plan will be made not later than 30 days
after the first day on which such transaction could be made, except to the
extent that the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, deem necessary or
advisable to comply with applicable laws or regulations or rules of a stock
exchange.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

Participation in the GE Stock IRA Plan may only occur through a GE IRA, which
is treated as a tax- exempt entity for federal income tax purposes. Thus,
although sales of GE common stock for a Participant's GE IRA that result in
gains or losses and receipt of dividends on GE common stock held for a
Participant's GE IRA will affect the overall value of the Participant's GE
IRA, such transactions will not by themselves result in the realization of
capital gain or loss or ordinary income to the Participant. Rather, the
federal income tax consequences of participation in the GE Stock IRA Plan
generally will depend on the nature and timing of a Participant's deposits to
and withdrawals from his or her GE IRA.

For information on the federal income tax consequences relating to a
Participant's GE IRA, see the GE IRA Disclosure Statement and Custodial
Account Agreement, a copy of which may be obtained by contacting GEIS, as
follows:
In writing: GE Investment Services Inc. 3003 Summer Street P.O. Box 7900
Stamford, CT 06904-7900

By telephone: 1-800-242-0134

Participants are also urged to consult with their own tax advisors to
determine the particular tax consequences (including the state and local tax
consequences) which may result from participation in the GE Stock IRA Plan.

USE OF PROCEEDS

GE expects that most purchases of GE common stock for Participants' GE IRAs
under the GE Stock IRA Plan will be made in open market or negotiated
transactions rather than directly from GE, in which case GE will receive no
proceeds from the sale of such GE common stock. With respect to any purchases
of GE common stock directly from GE under the GE Stock IRA Plan, the precise
number of such shares that will be sold to Participants or the prices at
which such shares will be sold cannot currently be determined. GE intends to
add the proceeds from any such sales of GE common stock to its general funds.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

The following statements are summaries of, and are subject to the detailed
provisions of, GE's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and
By-Laws, as amended, and to the relevant provisions of the New York Business
Corporation Law.

Currently, GE common stock is listed in the United States on the New York
Stock Exchange and the Boston Stock Exchange. GE common stock is also listed
on certain foreign exchanges, including The Stock Exchange, London, and the
Tokyo Stock Exchange. Certificates representing GE common stock may be
presented for registration and transfer at the office of the GE common stock
transfer agent, The Bank of New York, in New York City.

GE currently is authorized to issue up to 2,200,000,000 shares of GE common
stock, par value $0.32 per share. As of June 30, 1994, a total of
1,853,128,000 shares of GE common stock had been

<PAGE>
  13

issued, of which 1,712,367,373 shares were outstanding. GE is also authorized
to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $1.00 per
share, in series, but has not issued any such shares. If such shares are
issued, GE's Board of Directors may fix the designation, relative rights,
preferences, and limitations of the shares of each series. The closing price
of GE common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Consolidated
Tape on July 13, 1994 was $46.875 per share.

An increase in authorized shares and a two-for-one split of issued GE common
stock became effective on April 28, 1994. The number of shares authorized,
issued, and outstanding set forth in the previous paragraph, and the number
of shares to be offered and sold under the GE Stock IRA Plan as set forth
elsewhere in this Prospectus, have been adjusted to reflect such increase and
stock split.

Dividends may be paid on GE common stock out of funds legally available
therefor, when and if declared by GE's Board of Directors. Holders of GE
common stock are entitled to share ratably therein and in assets available
for distribution on liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, subject, if any
GE preferred stock is then outstanding, to any preferential rights of such
preferred stock. Each share of GE common stock entitles the holder thereof to
one vote at all meetings of share owners, and such votes are noncumulative.
GE common stock is not redeemable, has no subscription or conversion rights,
and does not entitle the holder to any preemptive rights. In the event that
at any time in the future GE common stock is not listed on a national
securities exchange or is not regularly quoted in an over-the-counter market,
under Section 630 of the New York Business Corporation Law the ten largest
share owners would be liable under certain conditions for debts, wages, or
salaries due and not paid by GE to any laborers, servants, or employees,
other than contractors, for services performed by them for GE.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

GEIS has entered into an agreement with GE and GE Investments (the
"Agreement") under which GEIS has agreed to disseminate information relating
to the GE Stock IRA Plan, receive Participants' orders for the purchase and
sale of GE common stock under the GE Stock IRA Plan and forward such orders
to the Administrator, and otherwise serve as GE's share owner servicing agent
under the GE Stock IRA Plan. State Street Bank and Trust Company performs
recordkeeping and other services for GEIS in connection with the GE Stock IRA
Plan. GEIS also serves as distributor for the GE Funds, and is a wholly owned
subsidiary of GE Investments, which is itself a wholly owned subsidiary of
GE. GEIS is not obligated to obtain orders for the purchase and sale of any
specific number of shares of GE common stock under the Agreement. GEIS will
receive no compensation for its services under the GE Stock IRA Plan. GEIS is
a registered broker-dealer under the Exchange Act, and is a member of the
NASD.

GE, GE Investments, and GEIS have agreed to indemnify each other against
certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Agreement is terminable on 60 days'
notice by GE, GE Investments, or GEIS.

GE Investments has agreed to pay all general costs and expenses incurred by
GE in connection with the operation of the GE Stock IRA Plan, including the
costs of registering the shares to be offered and sold under the GE Stock IRA
Plan with the Commission. As discussed above, brokerage fees and commissions
for purchases and sales of shares (including for purposes of dividend
reinvestment) other than purchases directly from GE will be paid by
Participants under the GE Stock IRA Plan, and other costs, including account
maintenance and termination fees, may be imposed on Participants separately
with respect to their GE IRAs. See "DESCRIPTION OF THE GE STOCK IRA PLAN --
Brokerage Fees, Commissions, and Other Costs."

EXPERTS

The financial statements and schedules of GE and its consolidated affiliates
as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and for each of the years in the three-
year period ended December 31, 1993, appearing in GE's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993, incorporated by reference in this
Prospectus, have been incorporated

<PAGE>
  14

herein in reliance upon the report of KPMG Peat Marwick, independent
auditors, incorporated by reference herein, and upon the authority of said
firm as experts in accounting and auditing. The report of KPMG Peat Marwick
refers to GE's change in 1993 in its methods of accounting for investments in
certain securities and for postemployment benefits and to GE's change in 1991
in its method of accounting for postretirement benefits other than pensions.

INDEMNIFICATION

Under New York law, GE may or shall, subject to various exceptions and
limitations, indemnify its directors and officers against reasonable
expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, or settlements
incurred in connection with actions or proceedings by reason of the fact that
such person is or was a director or officer of GE or served some other entity
at the request of GE.

Subject to certain limitations, GE's By-Laws, as amended, provide that GE
shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify former and current
directors and officers of GE, their heirs and legal representatives, and
persons who have agreed to become directors or officers of GE, with respect
to judgments, fines, taxes, penalties, settlement costs, and other costs and
expenses arising out of actions or proceedings against them in connection
with serving in such capacities or serving other entities at GE's request.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons controlling GE pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, GE has been informed that in the opinion of the
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Act and is therefore unenforceable.

TEXT OF THE GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY SHARE INVESTMENT PLAN FOR GE IRAS

1. Purpose

The purpose of the General Electric Company Share Investment Plan for GE IRAs
(the "GE Stock IRA Plan") is to provide to certain share owners of General
Electric Company (the "Company"), who have established self-directed
individual retirement accounts ("GE IRAs") using the proprietary form
developed by GE Investment Management Incorporated ("GE Investments"), a
convenient means to purchase, hold, and sell shares of General Electric
Company common stock, $0.32 par value ("Common Stock"), as well as to
reinvest cash dividends paid on such shares of Common Stock in additional
shares of Common Stock ("Dividend Reinvestment") for their GE IRAs. The GE
Stock IRA Plan is intended to provide holders of GE IRAs with a Common Stock
investment alternative to complement the various investment funds managed by
GE Investments otherwise available to GE IRAs (the "GE Funds"). Participation
in the GE Stock IRA Plan is available only to persons who have established GE
IRAs and who meet the share owner eligibility requirements set forth below (a
"Participant").

2. Plan Administration

State Street Bank and Trust Company, or its successor, shall act as agent
under and administrator of the GE Stock IRA Plan (the "Administrator"). The
Administrator shall perform such duties as are set forth in the GE Stock IRA
Plan and in an agreement among the Company, GE Investments, GE Investment
Services Inc. ("GEIS"), and the Administrator. GE Investments and GEIS shall
perform such duties as are set forth in the GE Stock IRA Plan and in an
agreement among the Company, GE Investments, and GEIS.

The Company, GE Investments, GEIS, and the Administrator may from time to
time agree that specified functions of GE Investments, GEIS, and the
Administrator under the GE Stock IRA Plan may be delegated to and performed
by other parties. In addition, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion,
select one or more broker-dealers (including without limitation a
broker-dealer affiliated with the Administrator) to execute transactions
under the GE Stock IRA Plan in Common Stock on behalf of Participants' GE
IRAs.

3. Participation

(a) Eligibility. A person is eligible to be a Participant in the GE Stock IRA
Plan through a GE IRA if such person is currently an owner of Common Stock as
a

<PAGE>
  15

registered share owner (including as a joint owner, such as a joint tenant or
a tenant in common), or an owner of at least one whole share of Common Stock
as a participant in the GE Savings & Security Program (the "GE S&S Program"),
the General Electric Company Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan
(the "GE DRP"), or the GE Stock IRA Plan (collectively, an "Eligible Share
Owner"); provided, however, that an Eligible Share Owner who is not a
resident of the United States may be a Participant only if GE Investments can
confirm to the Administrator, without unreasonable effort or expense, that
participation by such Eligible Share Owner will comply with all applicable
laws and regulations.

A person must be an Eligible Share Owner at any time he or she purchases
Common Stock through his or her GE IRA under the GE Stock IRA Plan. No
purchase order will be executed until the Administrator has confirmed the
eligibility of the person placing the purchase order to participate in the GE
Stock IRA Plan. The Administrator or GE Investments may, in its sole
discretion, require any person seeking to participate in the GE Stock IRA
Plan to furnish such information as it may deem necessary or advisable to
confirm that such person is an Eligible Share Owner. The Administrator may
rely on information furnished by the Company, GE Investments, and/or the
person seeking to purchase Common Stock under the GE Stock IRA Plan for
purposes of confirming eligibility to participate in the Plan.

(b) Enrollment. An Eligible Share Owner who has received a current prospectus
relating to the GE Stock IRA Plan may enroll in the GE Stock IRA Plan at the
time he or she establishes a GE IRA or thereafter.

To enroll in the GE Stock IRA Plan at the time a GE IRA is established, the
Eligible Share Owner should complete the portions of the GE IRA Account
Application (the "Application") that relate to enrollment in the GE Stock IRA
Plan, sign the Application, and return it to the custodian of the GE IRAs
(the "GE IRA Custodian"), at the address set forth on the Application. The
Application must be signed by the Eligible Share Owner seeking to participate
in the GE Stock IRA Plan, or by his or her authorized representative.

To enroll in the GE Stock IRA Plan after a GE IRA has been established
(including if the GE IRA existed at the effective date of the GE Stock IRA
Plan), the Eligible Share Owner should contact GEIS by telephone, in writing,
or in any other manner as set forth in the then-current prospectus relating
to the GE Stock IRA Plan. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator,
such Eligible Share Owner need not submit a new Application.

In enrolling in the GE Stock IRA Plan, an Eligible Share Owner must provide
his or her name in the exact form in which it appears as a registered owner
of Common Stock or as a participant in the GE S&S Program or the GE DRP.

(c) Obtaining an Application. An Application may be obtained by contacting
GEIS by telephone, in writing, or in any other manner as set forth in the
then- current prospectus relating to the GE Stock IRA Plan.

4. Purchases of Common Stock

A Participant may, during regular business hours on any business day,
instruct the Administrator to purchase shares of Common Stock under the GE
Stock IRA Plan for his or her GE IRA. Instructions for such transactions may
be given to the Administrator through GEIS by contacting GEIS by telephone,
in writing, or in any other manner as set forth in the then-current
prospectus relating to the GE Stock IRA Plan.

A Participant must instruct the Administrator to purchase a specific dollar
amount of Common Stock under the GE Stock IRA Plan; instructions to purchase
a specific number of shares will not be accepted. The minimum dollar amounts
for purchases of Common Stock under the GE Stock IRA Plan will be the same as
the lowest minimum dollar amounts applicable to the purchase of shares of any
of the GE Funds available to GE IRAs in like circumstances. There are no
limits on the maximum dollar amounts or frequency of Common Stock purchases
under the GE Stock IRA Plan.

<PAGE>
  16

A Participant's purchase order for Common Stock under the GE Stock IRA Plan
will be executed only if the Participant has either made a contribution or
rollover or transfer of cash into his or her GE IRA, or will timely receive
into his or her GE IRA the proceeds of a redemption of shares of GE Funds, at
least equal to the dollar amount of the purchase order for Common Stock.
Brokerage fees and commissions payable in connection with purchases of Common
Stock will be deducted from the dollar amount of the purchase order.

Purchase orders for Common Stock received by 4:00 p.m. (New York City Time)
on a business day will be executed on the next business day (or as promptly
as practicable thereafter). Purchase orders received after 4:00 p.m. (New
York City Time) on a business day will be executed on the second following
business day (or as promptly as practicable thereafter).

A purchase order for Common Stock under the GE Stock IRA Plan will be
executed by or at the direction of the Administrator. The Administrator will
aggregate a Participant's purchase order with those of other Participants
executed on the same day on which the Participant's purchase order is
executed.

Execution of a purchase order under the GE Stock IRA Plan may result in the
crediting of fractional shares to the Participant's GE IRA. Such fractional
shares will be calculated to three decimal places.

5. Sales of Common Stock

A Participant may, during regular business hours on any business day,
instruct the Administrator to sell shares of Common Stock under the GE Stock
IRA Plan held in his or her GE IRA. Instructions for such transactions may be
given to the Administrator through GEIS by contacting GEIS by telephone, in
writing, or in any other manner as set forth in the then-current prospectus
relating to the GE Stock IRA Plan.

A Participant must instruct the Administrator to sell a specific number of
shares of Common Stock under the GE Stock IRA Plan (which may include any
fractional shares credited to the Participant's GE IRA); instructions to sell
a specific dollar amount of Common Stock will not be accepted. There are no
minimum or maximum amounts of Common Stock sales or limits on the frequency
of sales under the GE Stock IRA Plan. Short sales are not permitted under the
GE Stock IRA Plan.

A Participant's sales order for Common Stock will be executed only if the
Participant has in his or her GE IRA a number of shares of Common Stock at
least equal to the number of shares to be sold. Brokerage fees and
commissions payable in connection with sales of Common Stock will be deducted
from the proceeds of the sale.

Sales orders for Common Stock received by 4:00 p.m. (New York City Time) on a
business day will be executed on the next business day (or as promptly as
practicable thereafter). Sales orders received after 4:00 p.m. (New York City
Time) on a business day will be executed on the second following business day
(or as promptly as practicable thereafter).

A sales order for Common Stock under the GE Stock IRA Plan will be executed
by or at the direction of the Administrator. The Administrator will aggregate
the Participant's sales order with those of other Participants executed on
the same day on which the Participant's sales order is executed.

If execution of a sales order under the GE Stock IRA Plan would cause the
Participant to have less than one whole share remaining in his or her GE IRA,
then such fractional shares will be sold together with other shares sold
pursuant to such sales order. If at least one whole share of Common Stock
will remain in a Participant's GE IRA after a sale of Common Stock, then any
shares of Common Stock (including fractional shares) remaining after such
sale will continue to be held in his or her GE IRA.

6. Cash Dividends and Dividend Reinvestment

Cash dividends on any shares of Common Stock held in a GE IRA under the GE
Stock IRA Plan will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of
Common Stock under the Dividend Reinvestment feature, except that a
Participant who has attained age 59-1/2 may elect to have all (and not less
than all) such cash dividends instead paid to his or her GE IRA and
immediately distributed to the Participant as a withdrawal. Such an election
by a Participant who has attained age 59-1/2 will remain in effect until

<PAGE>
  17

revoked by the Participant. Such an election or a revocation of such election
must be received by the Administrator not less than five business days prior
to the scheduled payment date for a dividend in order to be effective for
such dividend. Such election or revocation shall be communicated to the
Administrator through GEIS, by contacting GEIS by telephone, in writing, or
in any other manner as set forth in the then-current prospectus relating to
the GE Stock IRA Plan.

All cash dividends paid on Common Stock held under the GE Stock IRA Plan
subject to automatic dividend reinvestment will be paid over by the Company
to the Administrator at the dividend payment date. The Administrator will
aggregate all purchases of Common Stock in connection with Dividend
Reinvestment for a given dividend payment date, but purchases for purposes of
Dividend Reinvestment will not be aggregated with other purchases of Common
Stock under the GE Stock IRA Plan. Brokerage fees and commissions payable in
connection with purchases of Common Stock through Dividend Reinvestment will
be deducted from the dollar amount of the dividends to be reinvested. The
Administrator will complete purchases of Common Stock for purposes of
Dividend Reinvestment as promptly as practicable after receipt of payment of
dividends from the Company.

Dividend Reinvestment is available under the GE Stock IRA Plan only for
shares of Common Stock held in a GE IRA.

7. Purchases and Sales, Pricing of Shares, Fees and Commissions, and Other
Terms; Fractional Shares

(a) Where Purchases and Sales are Made; Pricing of Shares Purchased and Sold.
Purchases and sales of Common Stock under the GE Stock IRA Plan may be made
by or at the direction of the Administrator on any securities exchange upon
which shares of the Common Stock are traded, in the over-the- counter market,
or in negotiated transactions. Purchases may also be made directly from the
Company, if and to the extent the Company is then willing and able to sell
shares of Common Stock through the GE Stock IRA Plan. Purchases and sales may
be on such terms as to price, delivery, and other matters as the
Administrator, in its sole discretion, may determine; provided, however, that
the price per share of any purchase of Common Stock from the Company shall be
the average of the high and low sales prices of a share of Common Stock as
reported on the New York Stock Exchange Consolidated Tape for the day of such
purchase.

In any case in which purchases (not including for purposes of Dividend
Reinvestment) or sales of Common Stock are aggregated under the GE Stock IRA
Plan, the price per share at which the Administrator shall be deemed to have
purchased shares of Common Stock for each GE IRA on a given day shall be the
average price of all shares so purchased (including purchases both directly
from the Company and from other sources) for all such IRAs on such day, and
the price per share at which the Administrator shall be deemed to have sold
shares of Common Stock for each GE IRA on a given day shall be the average
price of all shares so sold for all such IRAs on such day. In the case of
Dividend Reinvestment, the price per share at which the Administrator shall
be deemed to have purchased shares of Common Stock under the GE Stock IRA
Plan for each GE IRA in connection with a given dividend payment by the
Company shall be the average price of all shares so purchased (including
purchases both directly from the Company and from other sources) for purposes
of Dividend Reinvestment for all such IRAs in connection with such dividend
payment. Purchase and sale orders will not be netted against one another
under the GE Stock IRA Plan.

(b) Fees and Commissions for Purchases and Sales. When the Administrator
purchases or sells Common Stock under the GE Stock IRA Plan for a GE IRA,
including purchases for purposes of Dividend Reinvestment, such IRA shall pay
all applicable brokerage fees and commissions (and transfer taxes, if any);
provided, however, that no brokerage fees and commissions shall be imposed
with respect to any purchase of Common Stock under the GE Stock IRA Plan
directly from the Company.

Brokerage fees and commissions will be calculated based on the aggregate
purchases or sales executed under the GE Stock IRA Plan on a given day or, in
the case of purchases for purposes of Dividend

<PAGE>
  18

Reinvestment, the aggregate purchases executed under the GE Stock IRA Plan in
connection with a given dividend payment. Each GE IRA will pay such brokerage
fees and commissions in the same proportion that the number of shares
purchased or sold for such GE IRA bears to the aggregate number of shares so
purchased or sold. No other costs will be imposed under the GE Stock IRA
Plan, although costs may be imposed separately with respect to GE IRAs,
including account maintenance and termination fees.

(c) Other Terms of Purchases and Sales. In no event will a purchase or sale
of Common Stock required to be made "as promptly as practicable" under the GE
Stock IRA Plan be made later than 30 days after the first day on which such
transaction could be made; provided, however, that such rule shall not apply
if and to the extent deemed necessary or advisable by the Administrator, in
its sole discretion, to comply with any applicable federal or state
securities laws or other applicable laws or regulations or rules of a stock
exchange.

No interest will be paid under the GE Stock IRA Plan to Participants or their
GE IRAs on any funds held pending execution of purchases of shares of Common
Stock, resulting from sales of such shares or from dividends thereon, or
otherwise resulting under the Plan.

For purposes of the GE Stock IRA Plan, a "business day" means a day on which
the Administrator and GEIS are open for business or, in any case in which a
transaction is to be executed, the Administrator and GEIS are open for
business and the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading. Any instruction
received or other event that occurs on a day that is not a business day will
be deemed to have been received or have occurred on the next day which is a
business day.

(d) Fractional Shares. As stated in Sections 4 and 5, purchases, holdings,
and sales of Common Stock under the GE Stock IRA Plan may include fractional
shares credited to a GE IRA. Fractional shares will not, however, be issued
by the Company, and certificates representing fractional shares will not be
delivered to Participants or to their GE IRAs under any circumstances. As
stated in Sections 5 and 8(c), in no event will less than one whole share
continue to be held in a Participant's GE IRA.
8. Share Custody, Rollovers and Transfers, and Withdrawals

(a) Custody. All shares of Common Stock purchased under the GE Stock IRA Plan
for a GE IRA or deposited into a GE IRA under Section 8(b) will be held by
the GE IRA Custodian, or its nominee, until the Participant sells the shares
under Section 5 or withdraws the shares from his or her GE IRA under Section
8(c).Instructions given to the Administrator under the GE Stock IRA Plan by
Participants shall be deemed to be given also to the GE IRA Custodian.

Shares of Common Stock held by the GE IRA Custodian may not be pledged, sold,
or otherwise disposed of or encumbered by the Participant or by his or her GE
IRA, except as expressly permitted by the GE Stock IRA Plan and by the GE IRA
Custodian.

(b) Rollovers and Transfers of Shares Into a GE IRA. A person may deposit, or
cause to be deposited, shares of Common Stock into his or her GE IRA under
the GE Stock IRA Plan through a rollover of shares from the Participant's GE
S&S Program account or from another IRA established by such person. Such
shares may be deposited by means of a direct rollover from the trustee of the
GE S&S Program or from the custodian or trustee of such other IRA to the GE
IRA Custodian. If certificates representing such rollover shares have been
issued and delivered to such person by the trustee of the GE S&S Program or
by the custodian or trustee of such other IRA, the GE IRA Custodian may
determine, in its sole discretion, whether to accept the deposit of such
rollover shares into such person's GE IRA, and the manner by which such
deposit may be made.

A person may cause to be deposited shares of Common Stock into his or her GE
IRA under the GE Stock IRA Plan through a transfer of shares from another IRA
established by such person. The deposit of such shares by means of a transfer
may be effected only by a transfer directly from the custodian or trustee of
such other IRA to the GE IRA Custodian.

A person contemplating a rollover or transfer of shares into his or her GE
IRA should, before

<PAGE>
  19

initiating the rollover or transfer, contact GEIS by telephone, in writing, or
in any other manner as set forth in the then-current prospectus relating to the
GE Stock IRA Plan.

A person need not be a Participant in the GE Stock IRA Plan or an Eligible
Share Owner in order to deposit shares in his or her GE IRA pursuant to a
permitted rollover or transfer. Upon such deposit, such person will be deemed
to be a Participant, and such shares will be deemed to be held under the GE
Stock IRA Plan. Except for deposits by means of rollovers and transfers of
shares authorized by or under this Section 8(b), no shares of Common Stock
may be deposited into GE IRAs under the GE Stock IRA Plan.

(c) Withdrawal of Shares. Shares of Common Stock held under the GE Stock IRA
Plan may be withdrawn from a GE IRA, in which case one or more certificates
for whole shares will be issued in the name of, and delivered to, the
Participant. Except in connection with a rollover or transfer withdrawal, a
Participant may not designate any other person to receive shares of Common
Stock withdrawn from his or her GE IRA. A Participant seeking to withdraw
shares of Common Stock shall give instructions to the Administrator through
GEIS, by contacting GEIS by telephone, in writing, or in any other manner as
set forth in the then-current prospectus relating to the GE Stock IRA Plan.
Such instructions shall be acted upon as promptly as practicable.

If a withdrawal under the GE Stock IRA Plan would cause the Participant to
have less than one whole share remaining in his or her GE IRA or otherwise
require the delivery to the Participant of fractional shares credited to his
or her GE IRA, such Participant will receive cash in lieu of such fractional
shares based on the average sales price per share of Common Stock, less
applicable brokerage fees and commissions, sold under the GE Stock IRA Plan
on the day of the withdrawal or, if there were no sales under the GE Stock
IRA Plan on that day, on the next preceding day on which sales occurred under
the GE Stock IRA Plan.

Shares of Common Stock held under the GE Stock IRA Plan may be withdrawn from
a GE IRA by means of a rollover into a plan qualified under Section 401 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or a rollover or transfer into
another IRA of the Participant in accordance with such procedures as the
Administrator and the GE IRA Custodian may specify. A person contemplating a
rollover or transfer of shares out of his or her GE IRA should, before
initiating the rollover or transfer, contact GEIS by telephone, in writing,
or in any other manner as set forth in the then-current prospectus relating
to the GE Stock IRA Plan.

9. Termination of Participation

Participation in the GE Stock IRA Plan will terminate at such time as the
Participant ceases to hold at least one whole share of Common Stock in his or
her GE IRA or the Participant's GE IRA is terminated. Participation in the GE
Stock IRA Plan will also terminate upon termination of the Plan by the
Company, as provided in Section 16(a).
10. Statements to Participants

The GE IRA Custodian shall reflect purchases, sales, deposits, and
withdrawals of shares of Common Stock and other GE Stock IRA Plan
transactions by appropriate adjustments to the Participant's GE IRA.

Upon completion of each purchase and sale transaction (other than Dividend
Reinvestments, as discussed below) for a GE IRA, the Administrator will
provide or cause to be provided a written statement to the Participant
showing the type of transaction and date thereof, the number of shares of
Common Stock purchased or sold, the aggregate amount invested (including
brokerage fees and commissions) or aggregate net proceeds of sales received
(after deducting brokerage fees and commissions), the purchase price per
share (including brokerage fees and commissions), the sales price per share
(after deducting brokerage fees and commissions), the brokerage fees and
commissions paid per share, the total shares held for the Participant's GE
IRA (computed to three decimal places), and other information. Additional
information regarding a Participant's GE IRA will be provided in statements
relating to his or her GE IRA furnished by the GE IRA Custodian, including
information regarding rollovers and transfers of shares into and withdrawals
of shares from a Participant's GE IRA.

With respect to dividends and Dividend Reinvestments, the GE IRA Custodian,
in lieu of the

<PAGE>
  20

transactional statements described in the preceding paragraph, may include
information regarding dividend payments and Dividend Reinvestment in
quarterly statements relating to the Participant's GE IRA. In such case, the
quarterly statements will provide information regarding the amount of the
dividend payment, the disposition of any such payment, the date of any
Dividend Reinvestment, the number of shares of Common Stock purchased in such
Dividend Reinvestment, the aggregate amount invested (including brokerage
fees and commissions), the purchase price per share (including brokerage fees
and commissions), the brokerage fees and commissions paid per share, and
other information.
11. Taxes

Participation in the GE Stock IRA Plan, including through Dividend
Reinvestment, will not relieve a Participant or his or her GE IRA of any
liability for taxes that may otherwise be payable by such Participant or GE
IRA.
12. Voting of Shares

Each Participant will be entitled to vote the number of shares of Common
Stock held in his or her GE IRA under the GE Stock IRA Plan (including any
fractional shares credited to such account) on any matter as to which the
approval of GE's share owners is sought. The Administrator will cause any
proxy materials relating to a meeting of the Company's share owners to be
forwarded to each Participant, including a proxy card. If a Participant does
not vote or grant a valid proxy with respect to any shares held under the GE
Stock IRA Plan, such shares will not be voted. Similar procedures will apply
in the case of any consent solicitation of Company share owners.
13. Extraordinary Corporate Events

Any shares of Common Stock distributed as a dividend or distribution in
respect of shares of Common Stock or in connection with a split of shares of
Common Stock held for a GE IRA under the GE Stock IRA Plan will be added to
the holdings of the GE IRA under the GE Stock IRA Plan. In the event of any
other non-cash dividend or distribution in respect of shares of Common Stock
held for a Participant's GE IRA under the Plan, the Administrator will, if
reasonably practicable and at the direction of GE Investments, sell any
property received in such dividend or distribution as promptly as practicable
and, in the case of a Participant whose shares are subject to Dividend
Reinvestment, use the proceeds to purchase additional shares of Common Stock
in the same manner as cash paid over to the Administrator for Dividend
Reinvestment, and, in the case of a Participant who has attained age 59-1/2
and elected to have such cash dividends paid to his or her GE IRA and
immediately distributed to the Participant as a withdrawal, pay such proceeds
in cash to such GE IRA for distribution rather than automatically reinvesting
them in additional shares of Common Stock.
14. Limitation of Liability

None of the Company, GE Investments, GEIS, the Administrator, or the GE IRA
Custodian shall be liable for any act done in good faith, or for any good
faith omission to act, under the GE Stock IRA Plan, including without
limitation any claims of liability with respect to the prices at which shares
of Common Stock are purchased or sold for a GE IRA, the times such purchases
or sales are made, and any change in market value before or after the
purchase or sale of any shares of Common Stock.
15. Notices

(a) Notice to the Administrator, Including Through GEIS. Any notice that a
Participant is required or permitted to give or make to the Administrator
under the GE Stock IRA Plan may be given to the Administrator in such manner
as specified in the GE Stock IRA Plan or in the then-current prospectus
relating to the GE Stock IRA Plan. Such notice may be given to the
Administrator through GEIS if and to the extent specified in the GE Stock IRA
Plan or in the then- current prospectus relating to the Plan. If no method
for giving a particular notice to the Administrator is specified, such notice
shall be given in writing addressed to:

GE IRA
P.O. Box 8325
Boston, MA 02266-8325

or such other address as the Administrator shall furnish to the Participant.
Except as otherwise specified

<PAGE>
  21

in the GE Stock IRA Plan or in the GE IRA Disclosure Statement and Custodial
Account Agreement, any notice, including a notice given through GEIS, shall
be deemed to have been sufficiently given or made when received by the
Administrator; provided, however, that, if the date of receipt is not a
business day, receipt shall be deemed to have occurred on the next day which
is a business day.

(b) Notice to a Participant. Any notice, statement, or other communication
which, under any provision of the GE Stock IRA Plan, is required or permitted
to be given or made to a Participant shall be in writing, and shall be deemed
to have been sufficiently given or made for all purposes by being actually
delivered to the Participant or deposited, postage prepaid in a post office
letter box addressed to such Participant at such Participant's address as it
shall last appear on the Administrator's records.
16. General Provisions

(a) Amendment, Modification, Suspension, and Termination of the GE Stock IRA
Plan. The Company reserves the right to amend, modify, suspend, or terminate
the GE Stock IRA Plan in any respect without the consent of any Participant,
and any such change may have retroactive effect. In the event the Company
terminates the GE Stock IRA Plan, the participation of each Participant will
cease. In such a case, whether the GE IRA Custodian will continue to act as
custodian of the Participant's GE IRA and, if so, whether the GE IRA
Custodian will permit Common Stock to continue to be held and/or purchased or
sold for such GE IRA will be determined in the sole discretion of the GE IRA
Custodian.

(b) Administrator's Decisions Final and Binding. Any decision of the
Administrator, including without limitation a decision as to eligibility to
participate in the Plan, is final and binding on all persons, including any
Participant, any person seeking to participate in the GE Stock IRA Plan, and
any person making any claim by or through any such person.

(c) Successors to the Administrator, GE Investments, and GEIS. Any amendment
of the GE Stock IRA Plan may include the appointment by the Company, in the
place and stead of the then-current Administrator, of a successor thereto. No
approval of Participants shall be required for any such appointment of a
successor Administrator. The Company may, without amending the GE Stock IRA
Plan, designate any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company to perform
any or all of the functions of GE Investments or GEIS under the GE Stock IRA
Plan.

(d) GOVERNING LAW. THE GE STOCK IRA PLAN, THE APPLICATION, ANY OTHER
INSTRUMENT OR DOCUMENT UNDER THE GE STOCK IRA PLAN, AND THE OPERATION OF THE
GE STOCK IRA PLAN, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PROVISIONS RELATING TO
CONFLICTS OF LAWS, AND APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAW.

(e) Effective Date. The effective date of the GE Stock IRA Plan is October
18, 1993.
