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 Restricted 
Stock Plan 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 Restricted 
Stock Plan 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.
