Item 5.   Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

     The validity of the authorized and unissued shares of PCS
Common Stock to be issued under the 1988 Employees Stock Purchase
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

                                   II-4

<PAGE>

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.

Item 5.   Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

     The validity of the authorized and unissued shares of PCS
Common Stock to be issued under the 1988 Employees Stock Purchase
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

                                   II-4
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.

                                   II-5
