          Item 5. Other Events


               On Tuesday, April 5, 1994, Southwestern Bell Corporation
          (SBC) announced it has terminated plans to form a cable
          partnership with Cox Cable Communications (Cox) in the United
          States.  SBC said it took the action because of the likely impact
          of increasingly stringent government regulation on the cable
          industry's cash flow characteristics.

               SBC and Cox announced on December 7, 1993 that they had
          signed a memorandum of understanding to form a $4.9 billion cable
          partnership.  Under that memorandum, SBC was to commit
          $1.6 billion in capital to the partnership and Cox was to
          contribute 21 cable systems.  The companies had been negotiating
          definitive agreements since the December 7, announcement.

               SBC expects to continue its cable partnership with Cox in
          the United Kingdom.
