Item 4.   Description of Securities

     See Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

Item 5.   Interest of Named Experts and Counsel

      No original issuance securities are being offered under the
Sprint Spectrum Savings and Retirement Plan.

Item 6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers

      Consistent  with  Section 17-6305 of  the  Kansas  Statutes
Annotated,  Article  IV,  Section 10  of  the  Bylaws  of  Sprint
provides that Sprint will indemnify directors and officers of the
corporation  against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts  paid
in  settlement in connection with any action, suit or  proceeding
if  the  director or officer acted in good faith and in a  manner
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of  Sprint.  With respect to a criminal action or proceeding, the
director  or  officer must also have had no reasonable  cause  to
believe his conduct was unlawful.

     Under Section 10, Sprint may purchase and maintain insurance
on  behalf  of  any  person who is or was  a  director,  officer,
employee  or  agent of Sprint, or who is or was  serving  at  the
request  of Sprint as a director, officer, employee or  agent  of
another  corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or  other
enterprise,  against any liability arising out of his  status  as
such,  whether  or not Sprint would have the power  to  indemnify
such  persons  against such liability.  Sprint  carries  standard
directors  and officers liability coverage for its directors  and
officers.   Subject  to certain limitations and  exclusions,  the
policies  reimburse  Sprint  for  liabilities  indemnified  under
Section 10 and indemnify directors and officers of Sprint against
additional liabilities not indemnified under Section 10.

      Sprint has entered into indemnification agreements with its
directors  and  officers.   These  agreements  provide  for   the
indemnification,  to  the  full  extent  permitted  by  law,   of
expenses,  judgments,  fines,  penalties  and  amounts  paid   in
settlement incurred by the director or officer in connection with
any  threatened, pending or completed action, suit or  proceeding
on account of service as a director, officer or agent of Sprint.

Item 9.   Undertakings.

     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

      (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales of
the  securities being registered are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this Registration Statement:

<PAGE>

               (i)  To include any prospectus required by Section
          10(a)(3)  of  the Securities Act of 1933,  unless  such
          information is contained in a periodic report filed  by
          the  registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d)
          of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and incorporated
          herein by reference;

                (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,
          unless  such  information is contained  in  a  periodic
          report  filed by the registrant pursuant to Section  13
          or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
          and incorporated herein by reference; and

               (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.

      (2)   That,  for the purpose of determining  any  liability
under  the  Securities  Act  of 1933,  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.

      (4)   That, for purposes of determining any liability under
the  Securities  Act  of 1933, each filing  of  the  registrant's
annual  report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of  the
Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934 (and,  where  applicable,  each
filing  of  an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant  to
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.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities  Act  of 1933 may be permitted to directors,  officers
and  controlling  persons  of  the  registrant  pursuant  to  the
foregoing  provisions described under Item 6 above, 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 Act 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,  

<PAGE>

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  Act  and  will  be  governed  by  the   final adjudication 
of such issue.

                           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  Westwood,  State of Kansas,  on  the  8th  day  of
December, 1998.

Item 4.   Description of Securities

     See Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

Item 5.   Interest of Named Experts and Counsel

      No original issuance securities are being offered under the
Sprint Spectrum Savings and Retirement Plan.

Item 6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers

      Consistent  with  Section 17-6305 of  the  Kansas  Statutes
Annotated,  Article  IV,  Section 10  of  the  Bylaws  of  Sprint
provides that Sprint will indemnify directors and officers of the
corporation  against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts  paid
in  settlement in connection with any action, suit or  proceeding
if  the  director or officer acted in good faith and in a  manner
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests
of  Sprint.  With respect to a criminal action or proceeding, the
director  or  officer must also have had no reasonable  cause  to
believe his conduct was unlawful.

     Under Section 10, Sprint may purchase and maintain insurance
on  behalf  of  any  person who is or was  a  director,  officer,
employee  or  agent of Sprint, or who is or was  serving  at  the
request  of Sprint as a director, officer, employee or  agent  of
another  corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or  other
enterprise,  against any liability arising out of his  status  as
such,  whether  or not Sprint would have the power  to  indemnify
such  persons  against such liability.  Sprint  carries  standard
directors  and officers liability coverage for its directors  and
officers.   Subject  to certain limitations and  exclusions,  the
policies  reimburse  Sprint  for  liabilities  indemnified  under
Section 10 and indemnify directors and officers of Sprint against
additional liabilities not indemnified under Section 10.

      Sprint has entered into indemnification agreements with its
directors  and  officers.   These  agreements  provide  for   the
indemnification,  to  the  full  extent  permitted  by  law,   of
expenses,  judgments,  fines,  penalties  and  amounts  paid   in
settlement incurred by the director or officer in connection with
any  threatened, pending or completed action, suit or  proceeding
on account of service as a director, officer or agent of Sprint.

Item 9.   Undertakings.

     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

      (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales of
the  securities being registered 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 of 1933,  unless  such
          information is contained in a periodic report filed  by
          the  registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d)
          of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and incorporated
          herein by reference;

                (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,
          unless  such  information is contained  in  a  periodic
          report  filed by the registrant pursuant to Section  13
          or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
          and incorporated herein by reference; and

               (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.

      (2)   That,  for the purpose of determining  any  liability
under  the  Securities  Act  of 1933,  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.

      (4)   That, for purposes of determining any liability under
the  Securities  Act  of 1933, each filing  of  the  registrant's
annual  report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of  the
Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934 (and,  where  applicable,  each
filing  of  an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant  to
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.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities  Act  of 1933 may be permitted to directors,  officers
and  controlling  persons  of  the  registrant  pursuant  to  the
foregoing  provisions described under Item 6 above, 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 Act 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  Act  and  will  be  governed  by  the   final adjudication 
of such issue.
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  Westwood,  State of Kansas,  on  the  8th  day  of
December, 1998.
