Item 5:    OTHER EVENTS                                                         

       Wells Fargo & Company and First Security Corporation have entered
        into an agreement and plan of reorganization, dated as of April 9,
      2000, pursuant to which a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo
      will merge with First Security upon the terms and subject to the
        conditions set forth in the agreement. A copy of Wells Fargo's and
        First Security's April 10, 2000 joint press release describing the
        transaction is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated
      herein by reference. Copies of materials used in connection with
    Wells Fargo's conference call held April 11, 2000 are attached
      hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and are incorporated herein by reference.

      The exhibits to this Form 8-K contain forward-looking statements
       about the financial condition, results of operations and business
    of Wells Fargo on a pro forma basis assuming completion of the
proposed merger transaction with First Security. These    
   forward-looking statements include those relating to: (a) the
        internal rate of return to Wells Fargo expected to be generated by
     the merger; (b) the expected accretion from the merger to Wells
 Fargo's earnings per share; (c) the expenses expected to be
         incurred by Wells Fargo to integrate the two companies or otherwise
        in connection with the merger; (d) the cost savings expected to be
       realized by Wells Fargo from combining the two companies; (e) the
         accounting method expected to be used by Wells Fargo to account for
        the merger; (f) the business opportunities and strategies expected
     to be available to Wells Fargo and First Security following the
      merger; (g) the amount of deposit divestitures that may occur in
         connection with the merger; (h) the anticipated closing date of the
merger; and (i) other statements that include the words   
      "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "estimates," or
         similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as "will,"
"would," "should," "could," or "may."                     

       These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties.
      Factors that could cause actual conditions, events or results to
      differ significantly from those described in the forward-looking
       statements include, among other things: (a) expected cost savings
     from the merger cannot be fully realized or realized within the
     expected time; (b) revenues following the merger are lower than
  expected; (c) costs or difficulties, including divestitures,
     related to the integration of the businesses of Wells Fargo and
     First Security are greater than expected; and (d) the merger is
    accounted for as a purchase instead of a pooling of interests.

        Such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which
  such statements were made, and neither Wells Fargo nor First
      Security undertakes any obligation to update any forward-looking
    statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on
which any statement is made to reflect the occurrence of  
unanticipated events.

                      by Wells Fargo and First Security describing the
merger
