Item 3.   Incorporation of Documents By Reference.
          ---------------------------------------

          The following documents filed by PacifiCorp (the "Company") with
the Securities and Exchange Commission are incorporated herein by
reference:

               (a) The Company's latest annual report filed pursuant to
         Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or
         the latest prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the
         Securities Act of 1933 that contains audited financial statements
         for the Company's latest fiscal year for which such statements
         have been filed.

               (b) All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or
         15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 since the end of the
         fiscal year covered by the annual report or prospectus referred to
         in (a) above.

               (c) The description of the common stock of the Company
         contained in the Company's registration under Section 12 of the
         Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including any amendment or report
         updating such description.

          All reports and other documents subsequently filed by the Company
pursuant to sections 13(a) and (c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment
which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which
deregisters all securities remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be
incorporated by reference herein and to be a part hereof from the date of
the filing of such reports and documents.

Item 4.   Description of Securities.
          -------------------------

          Not Applicable.

Item 5.   Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
          --------------------------------------

          Not applicable.

Item 6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
          -----------------------------------------

          The Company's Second Restated Articles of Incorporation, as
amended ("Restated Articles"), and Bylaws, as amended ("Bylaws"), require
the Company to indemnify directors and officers to the fullest extent not
prohibited by law. The right to and amount of indemnification will be
ultimately subject to determination by a court that indemnification in the
circumstances presented is consistent with public policy considerations and
other provisions of law. It is likely, however, that the Restated Articles
would require indemnification at least to the extent that indemnification
is authorized by the Oregon Business Corporation Act ("OBCA"). The effect
of the OBCA is summarized as follows:

          (a) The OBCA permits the Company to grant a right of
indemnification in respect of any pending, threatened or completed action,
suit or proceeding, other than an action by or in the right of the Company,
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, penalties, fines
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred, provided
the person concerned acted in good faith and in a manner the person
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful. Indemnification is
not permitted in connection with a 

                                    II-1
<PAGE>
proceeding in which a person is adjudged liable on the basis that personal
benefit was improperly received unless indemnification is permitted by a
court upon a finding that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnification in view of all of the relevant circumstances. The
termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or
plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent is not, of itself, determinative
that the person did not meet the prescribed standard of conduct.

          (b) The OBCA permits the Company to grant a right of
indemnification in respect of any proceeding by or in the right of the
Company against the reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees)
incurred, if the person concerned acted in good faith and in a manner he or
she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of
the Company, except that no indemnification may be granted if such person
is adjudged to be liable to the Company unless permitted by a court.

          (c) Under the OBCA, the Company may not indemnify a person in
respect of a proceeding described in (a) or (b) above unless it is
determined that indemnification is permissible because the person has met
the prescribed standard of conduct by any one of the following: (i) the
Board of Directors, by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors
not at the time parties to the proceeding, (ii) if a quorum of directors
not parties to the proceeding cannot be obtained, by a majority vote of a
committee of two or more directors not at the time parties to the
proceeding, (iii) by special legal counsel selected by the Board of
Directors or the committee thereof, as described in (i) and (ii) above, or
(iv) by the shareholders. Authorization of the indemnification and
evaluation as to the reasonableness of expenses are to be determined as
specified in any one of (i) through (iv) above, except that if the
determination of such indemnification's permissibility is made by special
counsel then the determination of the reasonableness of such expenses is to
be made by those entitled to select special counsel. Indemnification can
also be ordered by a court if the court determines that indemnification is
fair in view of all of the relevant circumstances. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, every person who has been wholly successful, on the merits or
otherwise, in defense of a proceeding described in (a) or (b) above is
entitled to be indemnified as a matter of right against reasonable expenses
incurred in connection with the proceeding.

          (d) Under the OBCA, the Company may pay for or reimburse the
reasonable expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of the
final disposition thereof if the director or officer receiving the advance
furnishes (i) a written affirmation of the director's or officer's good
faith belief that he or she has met the prescribed standard of conduct, and
(ii) a written undertaking to repay the advance if it is ultimately
determined that such person did not meet the standard of conduct.

          The rights of indemnification described above are not exclusive
of any other rights of indemnification to which officers or directors may
be entitled under any statute, agreement, vote of shareholders, action of
directors, or otherwise. Resolutions adopted by the Company's Board of
Directors require the Company to indemnify directors and officers of the
Company to the fullest extent permitted by law and are intended to create
an obligation to indemnify to the fullest extent a court may find to be
consistent with public policy considerations.

          The Company has directors' and officers' liability insurance
coverage which insures officers and directors of the Company against
certain liabilities.

Item 7.   Exemption From Registration Claimed.

Item 9.   Undertakings.
          ------------

          (a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

               (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
          being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration
          statement:

                    (i) To include any prospectus required by section
               10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

                    (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
               arising after the effective date of the registration
               statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
               thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent
               a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
               registration statement;

                    (iii) To include any material information with respect
               to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
               registration statement or any material change to such
               information in the registration statement;

          provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do
          not apply if the information required to be included in a
          post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
          periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to section 13
          or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
          incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

               (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
          the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be
          deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
          securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
          at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
          thereof.

               (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
          amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
          unsold at the termination of the offering.

          (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing
of the registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by
reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.

          (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act 

                                   II-3
<PAGE>
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.

                                   II-4

                                 SIGNATURES

      Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the
Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it
meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused
this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,
thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Portland, State of Oregon, on
April 5, 1996.
