PART II.  INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT


Item 3.	Incorporation of Documents by Reference

	The following documents filed by Sprint Corporation ("Sprint") 
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (File No. 1-4721) are 
incorporated in this Registration Statement by reference:

	Sprint's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 
31, 1996; its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended 
March 31, June 30 and September 30, 1997; and its Current Report on 
Form 8-K dated June 9, 1997.

	All documents subsequently filed by Sprint pursuant to Section 
13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 
prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that 
all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all 
securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by 
reference in this Registration Statement and to be part of this 
Registration Statement from the date of the filing of such documents.  
Sprint expressly excludes from such incorporation the Report of the 
Compensation Committee, the Performance Graph and any Report on 
Repricing of Options/SARs contained in any proxy statement filed by 
Sprint pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 
subsequent to the date of filing of this Registration Statement and 
prior to the termination of the offering of the securities covered by 
this Registration Statement.

Item 4.	Description of Securities

	The authorized capital stock of Sprint consists of 1,000,000,000 
shares of Common Stock, 500,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and 
20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock.  The authorized but unissued 
shares of Preferred Stock are issuable in one or more series, with such 
designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or 
special rights, if any, and the qualifications, limitations or 
restrictions thereof as may be fixed and determined by resolution 
of the Board of Directors of Sprint (the "Sprint Board").

	The following are brief summaries of certain provisions with 
respect to Sprint Common Stock, par value $2.50 per share, contained 
in Sprint's Articles of Incorporation, as amended. Such statements are 
qualified in their entirety by reference to such Articles.  The term 
Preferred Stock, as hereinafter used, includes the Preferred Stock-First 
Series, Convertible (the "First Series"), Preferred Stock-Second Series, 
Convertible (the "Second Series"), and Preferred Stock-Fifth Series 
(the "Fifth Series") and any other series hereinafter established by 
the Sprint Board and issued by Sprint (including, if issued, the 
Preferred Stock-Sixth Series, Junior Participating referred to below 
under "Shareholder Rights").  Sprint Common Stock is listed and traded 
on the New York Stock Exchange, the Chicago Stock Exchange and the 
Pacific Exchange.

Dividend Rights and Restrictions

	Subject to certain dividend restrictions of indentures and 
other borrowing agreements and to the preferential rights of the 
Preferred Stock, holders of Sprint Common Stock are entitled to 
dividends as declared thereon by the Sprint Board only out of net 
income or earned surplus.  The most restrictive covenants applicable 
to dividends are contained in a revolving credit agreement.  Among 
other restrictions, the agreement requires Sprint to maintain 
specified levels of consolidated net worth, as defined.  As a result 
of this requirement, $2.7 billion of Sprint's $3.6 billion 
consolidated retained earnings was effectively restricted from payment 
of dividends as of September 30, 1997.  Before any dividends on Sprint 
Common Stock may be paid or declared and set apart for payment, full 
cumulative dividends on the Preferred Stock must be paid or declared 
and set apart for payment.  If Sprint fails to purchase the Fifth Series 
shares upon tender by the holders, it is precluded from declaring or 
paying dividends on its Common Stock until it has deposited the funds 
necessary for the purchase of such shares.  Upon the issuance of other 
series of Preferred Stock, the Sprint Board may provide for dividend 
restrictions on Sprint Common Stock as to such series.  

	The holders of the Class A Common Stock are entitled to receive 
dividends in an amount per share equal to the per share amount of any 
dividend paid on Sprint Common Stock, payable on the same date of 
payment as the corresponding dividend on the Sprint Common Stock.

Voting Rights

	Except as hereinafter noted, holders of Sprint Common Stock, 
Class A Common Stock  and the First Series, the Second Series and the 
Fifth Series are entitled at each stockholders' meeting of Sprint, 
as to each matter to be voted upon, to cast one vote for each share 
held of record on the books of Sprint.

	The Preferred Stock is entitled to vote as a class with respect 
to certain matters affecting preferences of the Preferred Stock or 
creating prior ranking or parity stock.  If six quarterly dividends 
on any series of the Preferred Stock are in arrears, the number 
of Sprint's directors will be increased by two and the holders of 
Preferred Stock voting as a class will be entitled to elect two 
directors until all arrears in dividends have been paid, and in such 
event Sprint Common Stock and all voting series of the Preferred 
Stock would be entitled to elect the remaining directors (other than 
the directors elected by the holders of the Class A Common Stock, as 
described below).  If no dividends or less than full cumulative 
dividends on the Fifth Series shall have been paid for each of four 
consecutive dividend periods, or if arrearages in the payment of 
dividends on the Fifth Series shall have cumulated in an amount equal 
to full cumulative dividends on the Fifth Series for six quarterly 
dividend periods, the holders of the Fifth Series, acting alone, will 
be entitled to elect the smallest number constituting a majority of 
Sprint's directors then to be elected until all arrears in such 
dividends are paid or set aside for payment.

	The holders of Class A Common Stock have certain class voting 
rights, including the right to elect their own directors to the Sprint 
Board of Directors and to disapprove certain transactions.

	As a general rule, the holders of Class A Common Stock will be 
entitled to representation on the Sprint Board equal to the percent of 
Sprint voting power owned by them, rounded up or down to the nearer 
whole number of directors.  In addition, for as long as it is 
necessary in order to allow France Telecom ("FT") and Deutsche Telekom 
AG ("DT") to receive certain benefits under relevant tax treaties 
between the United States and France and between the United States and 
Germany, respectively, the holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled 
to elect not less than 20% of the members of the Sprint Board at any 
time when their actual percentage of Sprint voting power is at least 20%.

	As long as any shares of Class A Common Stock are outstanding, 
the holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to disapprove any 
amendment to the Articles or Bylaws of Sprint that would adversely 
affect their rights, any issuance by Sprint of capital stock or debt 
with more than one vote per share or otherwise having supervoting 
powers, or any business combination or merger involving Sprint unless 
certain of their rights are preserved.  In addition, for a period of 
time holders of Class A Common Stock have certain disapproval rights 
relating to the sale by Sprint of long distance assets and transactions 
that would result in certain competitors of FT, DT and Global One 
owning 10% or more of the outstanding Sprint voting power.

	The Sprint Board (other than the directors elected by the holders 
of the Class A Common Stock) is divided into three classes, with each 
class consisting, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the total 
number of directors (other than the directors elected by the holders of 
the Class A Common Stock) and serving a staggered three-year term.  Only 
one class is elected each year, and it is elected for a three-year term.  
The holders of the Class A Common Stock are not entitled to vote in the 
election of these directors.  Sprint stockholders are not entitled to 
cumulative voting rights in the election of directors.

	Sprint's Articles of Incorporation require that certain business 
combinations initiated by a holder of at least 10 percent of Sprint's 
voting stock must be approved by the holders of 80 percent of the 
outstanding voting stock.

Restriction on Purchase of Equity Securities by Sprint

	Sprint's Articles of Incorporation prohibit Sprint from purchasing 
its own equity securities from an owner of 5 percent or more of such 
equity securities (if any of the securities have been held for less 
than two years) at a premium over market price unless Sprint either (1)
obtains the approval of the holders of a majority of the shares of 
Sprint's outstanding voting stock (excluding the shares held by the 5 
percent security holder) or (2) makes a tender or exchange offer to 
purchase securities of the same class on the same terms to all holders 
of such equity securities.  However, the approval of stockholders other 
than DT, FT and their affiliates is not required in connection with 
purchases, redemptions or other acquisitions by Sprint of Sprint 
capital stock held by DT, FT, certain of their designated subsidiaries 
or certain other qualified holders of the Class A Common Stock pursuant 
to the investment agreements entered into with FT and DT and the 
Articles of Incorporation.

Redemption

	The Articles of Incorporation permit the redemption of shares 
of Sprint Common Stock and, in certain circumstances, Class A Common 
Stock held by Aliens if necessary to comply with the foreign ownership 
limitations set forth in Section 310 of the U.S. Communications Act of 
1934, as amended.  The provisions permit Sprint Common Stock to be 
redeemed at a price equal to the fair market value of the shares, except 
that the redemption price in respect of shares purchased by any Alien 
after November 21, 1995 and within one year of the redemption date 
would not (unless otherwise determined by the Sprint Board) exceed the 
purchase price paid for such shares by such person.

Shareholder Rights

	Each share of Sprint Common Stock and Class A Common Stock 
issued prior to the occurrence of certain takeover events has a Right 
attached in accordance with the terms of a Shareholder Rights Plan 
adopted by Sprint on June 9, 1997.  The Rights do not become 
exercisable and do not separate from the shares of Common Stock and 
Class A Common Stock until the occurrence of such takeover events.  
Each Right, when it becomes exercisable, entitles the holder to purchase 
a unit consisting of one one-thousandth of a share of Preferred 
Stock-Sixth Series, Junior Participating at a price of $225 per unit, 
or to purchase Sprint Common Stock or common stock of the acquiring 
company having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the 
Right, depending upon the circumstances.  Under certain circumstances, 
Rights beneficially owned by a person or group of affiliated or 
associated persons who have acquired, or obtained the right to acquire,
 beneficial ownership of 15 percent or more of the outstanding shares 
of Sprint Common Stock and Class A Common Stock become null and void.  
The Rights may be redeemed by Sprint at a price of one cent per Right 
and expire on June 25, 2007.

	The Shareholder Rights Plan provides generally that actions of 
FT, DT and their respective affiliates which would otherwise cause the 
Rights to detach and become exercisable will not do so unless such 
actions also violate the Standstill Agreement dated as of July 31, 
1995 entered into among Sprint, FT and DT.

Liquidation Rights

	In the event of liquidation, holders of Sprint Common Stock will 
be entitled to share ratably, together with the holders of any Class 
A Common Stock then outstanding, in any assets remaining after the 
satisfaction in full of the prior rights of creditors, including 
holders of Sprint indebtedness, and the aggregate liquidation preference 
of any Preferred Stock then outstanding.

Preemptive Rights

	No holder of shares of Sprint Common Stock or any other 
capital stock of Sprint is entitled to preemptive rights or 
subscription rights, other than pursuant to the Rights referred to 
under "Shareholder Rights" above.  DT and FT have the contractual 
right to purchase additional shares of Class A Common Stock from 
Sprint to enable them to maintain their ownership level at 20% 
of Sprint's voting securities.

Fully Paid

	The outstanding shares of Sprint Common Stock are, and the 
shares of Sprint Common Stock offered hereby when issued will be, 
fully paid and nonassessable.

Transfer Agents and Registrars

	The Transfer Agents and Registrars for Sprint Common Stock 
are UMB Bank, n.a. (Missouri), and ChaseMellon Shareholder Services 
(New York).

Item 5.	Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

	The validity of the authorized and unissued shares of Sprint 
Common Stock to be issued under the 1990 Stock Option Plan upon the 
exercise of stock options was passed upon by Don A. Jensen, Esq., Vice 
President and Secretary of Sprint.

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 18th day of February, 1998.

PART II.  INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 3.	Incorporation of Documents by Reference

	The following documents filed by Sprint Corporation ("Sprint") 
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (File No. 1-4721) are 
incorporated in this Registration Statement by reference:

	Sprint's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 
31, 1996; its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended 
March 31, June 30 and September 30, 1997; and its Current Report on 
Form 8-K dated June 9, 1997.

	All documents subsequently filed by Sprint pursuant to Section 
13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 
prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that 
all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all 
securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by 
reference in this Registration Statement and to be part of this 
Registration Statement from the date of the filing of such documents.  
Sprint expressly excludes from such incorporation the Report of the 
Compensation Committee, the Performance Graph and any Report on 
Repricing of Options/SARs contained in any proxy statement filed by 
Sprint pursuant to Section 14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 
subsequent to the date of filing of this Registration Statement and 
prior to the termination of the offering of the securities covered by 
this Registration Statement.

Item 4.	Description of Securities

	The authorized capital stock of Sprint consists of 1,000,000,000 
shares of Common Stock, 500,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and 
20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock.  The authorized but unissued 
shares of Preferred Stock are issuable in one or more series, with such 
designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or 
special rights, if any, and the qualifications, limitations or 
restrictions thereof as may be fixed and determined by resolution 
of the Board of Directors of Sprint (the "Sprint Board").

	The following are brief summaries of certain provisions with 
respect to Sprint Common Stock, par value $2.50 per share, contained 
in Sprint's Articles of Incorporation, as amended. Such statements are 
qualified in their entirety by reference to such Articles.  The term 
Preferred Stock, as hereinafter used, includes the Preferred Stock-First 
Series, Convertible (the "First Series"), Preferred Stock-Second Series, 
Convertible (the "Second Series"), and Preferred Stock-Fifth Series 
(the "Fifth Series") and any other series hereinafter established by 
the Sprint Board and issued by Sprint (including, if issued, the 
Preferred Stock-Sixth Series, Junior Participating referred to below 
under "Shareholder Rights").  Sprint Common Stock is listed and traded 
on the New York Stock Exchange, the Chicago Stock Exchange and the 
Pacific Exchange.

Dividend Rights and Restrictions

	Subject to certain dividend restrictions of indentures and 
other borrowing agreements and to the preferential rights of the 
Preferred Stock, holders of Sprint Common Stock are entitled to 
dividends as declared thereon by the Sprint Board only out of net 
income or earned surplus.  The most restrictive covenants applicable 
to dividends are contained in a revolving credit agreement.  Among 
other restrictions, the agreement requires Sprint to maintain 
specified levels of consolidated net worth, as defined.  As a result 
of this requirement, $2.7 billion of Sprint's $3.6 billion 
consolidated retained earnings was effectively restricted from payment 
of dividends as of September 30, 1997.  Before any dividends on Sprint 
Common Stock may be paid or declared and set apart for payment, full 
cumulative dividends on the Preferred Stock must be paid or declared 
and set apart for payment.  If Sprint fails to purchase the Fifth Series 
shares upon tender by the holders, it is precluded from declaring or 
paying dividends on its Common Stock until it has deposited the funds 
necessary for the purchase of such shares.  Upon the issuance of other 
series of Preferred Stock, the Sprint Board may provide for dividend 
restrictions on Sprint Common Stock as to such series.  

	The holders of the Class A Common Stock are entitled to receive 
dividends in an amount per share equal to the per share amount of any 
dividend paid on Sprint Common Stock, payable on the same date of 
payment as the corresponding dividend on the Sprint Common Stock.

Voting Rights

	Except as hereinafter noted, holders of Sprint Common Stock, 
Class A Common Stock  and the First Series, the Second Series and the 
Fifth Series are entitled at each stockholders' meeting of Sprint, 
as to each matter to be voted upon, to cast one vote for each share 
held of record on the books of Sprint.

	The Preferred Stock is entitled to vote as a class with respect 
to certain matters affecting preferences of the Preferred Stock or 
creating prior ranking or parity stock.  If six quarterly dividends 
on any series of the Preferred Stock are in arrears, the number 
of Sprint's directors will be increased by two and the holders of 
Preferred Stock voting as a class will be entitled to elect two 
directors until all arrears in dividends have been paid, and in such 
event Sprint Common Stock and all voting series of the Preferred 
Stock would be entitled to elect the remaining directors (other than 
the directors elected by the holders of the Class A Common Stock, as 
described below).  If no dividends or less than full cumulative 
dividends on the Fifth Series shall have been paid for each of four 
consecutive dividend periods, or if arrearages in the payment of 
dividends on the Fifth Series shall have cumulated in an amount equal 
to full cumulative dividends on the Fifth Series for six quarterly 
dividend periods, the holders of the Fifth Series, acting alone, will 
be entitled to elect the smallest number constituting a majority of 
Sprint's directors then to be elected until all arrears in such 
dividends are paid or set aside for payment.

	The holders of Class A Common Stock have certain class voting 
rights, including the right to elect their own directors to the Sprint 
Board of Directors and to disapprove certain transactions.

	As a general rule, the holders of Class A Common Stock will be 
entitled to representation on the Sprint Board equal to the percent of 
Sprint voting power owned by them, rounded up or down to the nearer 
whole number of directors.  In addition, for as long as it is 
necessary in order to allow France Telecom ("FT") and Deutsche Telekom 
AG ("DT") to receive certain benefits under relevant tax treaties 
between the United States and France and between the United States and 
Germany, respectively, the holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled 
to elect not less than 20% of the members of the Sprint Board at any 
time when their actual percentage of Sprint voting power is at least 20%.

	As long as any shares of Class A Common Stock are outstanding, 
the holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to disapprove any 
amendment to the Articles or Bylaws of Sprint that would adversely 
affect their rights, any issuance by Sprint of capital stock or debt 
with more than one vote per share or otherwise having supervoting 
powers, or any business combination or merger involving Sprint unless 
certain of their rights are preserved.  In addition, for a period of 
time holders of Class A Common Stock have certain disapproval rights 
relating to the sale by Sprint of long distance assets and transactions 
that would result in certain competitors of FT, DT and Global One 
owning 10% or more of the outstanding Sprint voting power.

	The Sprint Board (other than the directors elected by the holders 
of the Class A Common Stock) is divided into three classes, with each 
class consisting, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the total 
number of directors (other than the directors elected by the holders of 
the Class A Common Stock) and serving a staggered three-year term.  Only 
one class is elected each year, and it is elected for a three-year term.  
The holders of the Class A Common Stock are not entitled to vote in the 
election of these directors.  Sprint stockholders are not entitled to 
cumulative voting rights in the election of directors.

	Sprint's Articles of Incorporation require that certain business 
combinations initiated by a holder of at least 10 percent of Sprint's 
voting stock must be approved by the holders of 80 percent of the 
outstanding voting stock.

Restriction on Purchase of Equity Securities by Sprint

	Sprint's Articles of Incorporation prohibit Sprint from purchasing 
its own equity securities from an owner of 5 percent or more of such 
equity securities (if any of the securities have been held for less 
than two years) at a premium over market price unless Sprint either (1)
obtains the approval of the holders of a majority of the shares of 
Sprint's outstanding voting stock (excluding the shares held by the 5 
percent security holder) or (2) makes a tender or exchange offer to 
purchase securities of the same class on the same terms to all holders 
of such equity securities.  However, the approval of stockholders other 
than DT, FT and their affiliates is not required in connection with 
purchases, redemptions or other acquisitions by Sprint of Sprint 
capital stock held by DT, FT, certain of their designated subsidiaries 
or certain other qualified holders of the Class A Common Stock pursuant 
to the investment agreements entered into with FT and DT and the 
Articles of Incorporation.

Redemption

	The Articles of Incorporation permit the redemption of shares 
of Sprint Common Stock and, in certain circumstances, Class A Common 
Stock held by Aliens if necessary to comply with the foreign ownership 
limitations set forth in Section 310 of the U.S. Communications Act of 
1934, as amended.  The provisions permit Sprint Common Stock to be 
redeemed at a price equal to the fair market value of the shares, except 
that the redemption price in respect of shares purchased by any Alien 
after November 21, 1995 and within one year of the redemption date 
would not (unless otherwise determined by the Sprint Board) exceed the 
purchase price paid for such shares by such person.

Shareholder Rights

	Each share of Sprint Common Stock and Class A Common Stock 
issued prior to the occurrence of certain takeover events has a Right 
attached in accordance with the terms of a Shareholder Rights Plan 
adopted by Sprint on June 9, 1997.  The Rights do not become 
exercisable and do not separate from the shares of Common Stock and 
Class A Common Stock until the occurrence of such takeover events.  
Each Right, when it becomes exercisable, entitles the holder to purchase 
a unit consisting of one one-thousandth of a share of Preferred 
Stock-Sixth Series, Junior Participating at a price of $225 per unit, 
or to purchase Sprint Common Stock or common stock of the acquiring 
company having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the 
Right, depending upon the circumstances.  Under certain circumstances, 
Rights beneficially owned by a person or group of affiliated or 
associated persons who have acquired, or obtained the right to acquire,
 beneficial ownership of 15 percent or more of the outstanding shares 
of Sprint Common Stock and Class A Common Stock become null and void.  
The Rights may be redeemed by Sprint at a price of one cent per Right 
and expire on June 25, 2007.

	The Shareholder Rights Plan provides generally that actions of 
FT, DT and their respective affiliates which would otherwise cause the 
Rights to detach and become exercisable will not do so unless such 
actions also violate the Standstill Agreement dated as of July 31, 
1995 entered into among Sprint, FT and DT.

Liquidation Rights

	In the event of liquidation, holders of Sprint Common Stock will 
be entitled to share ratably, together with the holders of any Class 
A Common Stock then outstanding, in any assets remaining after the 
satisfaction in full of the prior rights of creditors, including 
holders of Sprint indebtedness, and the aggregate liquidation preference 
of any Preferred Stock then outstanding.

Preemptive Rights

	No holder of shares of Sprint Common Stock or any other 
capital stock of Sprint is entitled to preemptive rights or 
subscription rights, other than pursuant to the Rights referred to 
under "Shareholder Rights" above.  DT and FT have the contractual 
right to purchase additional shares of Class A Common Stock from 
Sprint to enable them to maintain their ownership level at 20% 
of Sprint's voting securities.

Fully Paid

	The outstanding shares of Sprint Common Stock are, and the 
shares of Sprint Common Stock offered hereby when issued will be, 
fully paid and nonassessable.

Transfer Agents and Registrars

	The Transfer Agents and Registrars for Sprint Common Stock 
are UMB Bank, n.a. (Missouri), and ChaseMellon Shareholder Services 
(New York).

Item 5.	Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

	The validity of the authorized and unissued shares of Sprint 
Common Stock to be issued under the 1990 Stock Option Plan upon the 
exercise of stock options was passed upon by Don A. Jensen, Esq., Vice 
President and Secretary of Sprint.

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 18th day of February, 1998.
