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, 1994; its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for
the quarters ended March 31, June 30 (as amended) and 
September 30, 1995; and its Current Reports on Form 8-K 
dated March 27 and June 22, 1995.

     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
500,000,000 shares of Sprint Common Stock and 20,000,000
shares of Sprint Preferred Stock.  The authorized but unissued
shares of Sprint 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").

     Sprint, Deutsche Telekom AG and France Telecom have
signed an Investment Agreement dated as of July 31, 1995, as
amended (the "Investment Agreement"), setting forth the terms by
which Deutsche Telekom AG and France Telecom will invest up to 
an estimated $4.2 billion in shares of a new Sprint voting stock
(the "Class A Stock"), which may either be a separate class of
preference stock ("Class A Preference Stock") or a separate
class of common stock ("Class A Common Stock").  The Class 
A Stock will represent up to approximately 20 percent of Sprint's 
voting equity.  Deutsche Telekom AG and France Telecom, as the
holders of the Class A Stock, will have the right in most circumstances
to proportionate representation on the Sprint Board and to purchase 
additional shares of Class A Stock from Sprint to enable them to 
maintain their ownership level at 20 percent.  In addition, the holders 
of Class A Stock will have disapproval rights with respect to Sprint's 
undertaking certain types of transactions.

<PAGE>

     The investment would require that Sprint's Articles of
Incorporation be amended.  Among other amendments, the
authorized shares of Sprint Common Stock would be increased to
1,000,000,000 shares, and 500,000,000 shares of Class A Common 
Stock and 500,000,000 shares of Class A Preference Stock would be
authorized.  Completion of the transaction is contingent on receipt 
of all necessary governmental approvals, and Sprint stockholders 
must approve the terms of the investment, including the proposed 
amendments to the Articles of Incorporation (the "Charter 
Amendments").

     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
as of the date of this Registration Statement. 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"),
Preferred Stock-Third Series, 7-3/4%, Cumulative (the "Third 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-Fourth Series,
Junior Participating referred to below under "Shareholder
Rights").  Sprint Common Stock is listed and traded on the
New York, Chicago and Pacific Stock Exchanges.

Dividend Rights and Restrictions

     Subject to certain dividend restrictions of indentures
and other borrowing agreements and to the preferential rights of
the Preferred Stock (and, if authorized and issued, the Class A
Preference 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 revolving credit agreements.  
Among other restrictions, the agreements require Sprint to maintain 
specified levels of consolidated net worth, as defined.  As a result of 
this requirement, $1.9 billion of Sprint's $3.20 billion consolidated 
retained earnings was effectively restricted from payment of 
dividends as of September 30, 1995.  Before any dividends on 
Sprint Common Stock may be paid or declared and set apart for 
payment, full cumulative dividends on the Sprint Preferred Stock 
(and, if authorized and issued, the Class A Preference 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. 

Voting Rights

     Except as hereinafter noted, holders of Sprint 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.

<PAGE>

     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, or if any sinking fund payment on any series of the
Sprint Preferred Stock has been in arrears for more than one
year, 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
and sinking fund payments 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. 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 Sprint Board is divided into three classes, with
each class consisting, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the
total number of directors and serving a staggered three-year
term.  Only one class is elected each year, and it is
elected for a three-year term.  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.

     The Class A Stock, if authorized and issued, would have
certain class voting rights (among other things, the right to
elect their own directors to the Sprint Board and, for a
period of years, to disapprove certain Sprint transactions) as 
well as general voting rights.

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.

     The Charter Amendments would revise these provisions to
provide that the approval of stockholders other than Deutsche
Telekom AG, France Telecom and their affiliates which would
otherwise be required by such provisions will not be required in
connection with purchases, redemptions or other acquisitions
by Sprint of Sprint equity securities held by Deutsche Telekom
AG, France Telecom and certain other entities pursuant to the
Investment Agreement, a related agreement to be entered into
with France Telecom and Deutsche Telekom AG and the Articles 
of Incorporation as proposed to be amended by the Charter
Amendments.

<PAGE>

Redemption

     The Charter Amendments would permit the redemption of
shares of Sprint Common Stock and, in certain circumstances, Class
A 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
would 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 issued prior to the
occurrence of certain takeover events has one-half of a
Right attached in accordance with the terms of a Shareholder
Rights Plan adopted by Sprint on August 8, 1989.  The Rights do not
become exercisable and do not separate from the shares of
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-hundredth of a share of Preferred
Stock-Fourth Series, Junior Participating at a price of $235
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 20
percent or more of the outstanding shares of Sprint Common Stock
become null and void.  The Rights may be redeemed by Sprint at a
price of one cent per Right and expire on September 8, 1999.

     In connection with the anticipated investment in Class A
Stock by France Telecom and Deutsche Telekom AG, the
Shareholder Rights Plan was amended to provide for Rights to attach to
the Class A Common stock and to assure that the investment will
not cause the Rights to detach and become exercisable.  The
amendment to the Shareholder Rights Plan provides generally that
actions of France Telecom, Deutsche Telekom AG 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, France Telecom and Deutsche
Telekom AG.

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 Sprint Preferred
Stock (and any Class A Preference Stock) then outstanding.

<PAGE>

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.  Deutsche Telekom AG
and France Telecom will have the contractual right to purchase
additional shares of Class A Stock from Sprint to enable
them to maintain their ownership level at 20%.

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 Chemical Mellon
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 11 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 11, 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 be required 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 11 and indemnify directors and officers of Sprint
against additional liabilities not indemnified under Section 11.

     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

<PAGE>

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

<PAGE>

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.

<PAGE>

                           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 19th day of 
December 1995.

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, 1994; its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for
the quarters ended March 31, June 30 (as amended) and 
September 30, 1995; and its Current Reports on Form 8-K 
dated March 27 and June 22, 1995.

     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
500,000,000 shares of Sprint Common Stock and 20,000,000
shares of Sprint Preferred Stock.  The authorized but unissued
shares of Sprint 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").

     Sprint, Deutsche Telekom AG and France Telecom have
signed an Investment Agreement dated as of July 31, 1995, as
amended (the "Investment Agreement"), setting forth the terms by
which Deutsche Telekom AG and France Telecom will invest up to 
an estimated $4.2 billion in shares of a new Sprint voting stock
(the "Class A Stock"), which may either be a separate class of
preference stock ("Class A Preference Stock") or a separate
class of common stock ("Class A Common Stock").  The Class 
A Stock will represent up to approximately 20 percent of Sprint's 
voting equity.  Deutsche Telekom AG and France Telecom, as the
holders of the Class A Stock, will have the right in most circumstances
to proportionate representation on the Sprint Board and to purchase 
additional shares of Class A Stock from Sprint to enable them to 
maintain their ownership level at 20 percent.  In addition, the holders 
of Class A Stock will have disapproval rights with respect to Sprint's 
undertaking certain types of transactions.
The investment would require that Sprint's Articles of
Incorporation be amended.  Among other amendments, the
authorized shares of Sprint Common Stock would be increased to
1,000,000,000 shares, and 500,000,000 shares of Class A Common 
Stock and 500,000,000 shares of Class A Preference Stock would be
authorized.  Completion of the transaction is contingent on receipt 
of all necessary governmental approvals, and Sprint stockholders 
must approve the terms of the investment, including the proposed 
amendments to the Articles of Incorporation (the "Charter 
Amendments").

     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
as of the date of this Registration Statement. 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"),
Preferred Stock-Third Series, 7-3/4%, Cumulative (the "Third 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-Fourth Series,
Junior Participating referred to below under "Shareholder
Rights").  Sprint Common Stock is listed and traded on the
New York, Chicago and Pacific Stock Exchanges.

Dividend Rights and Restrictions

     Subject to certain dividend restrictions of indentures
and other borrowing agreements and to the preferential rights of
the Preferred Stock (and, if authorized and issued, the Class A
Preference 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 revolving credit agreements.  
Among other restrictions, the agreements require Sprint to maintain 
specified levels of consolidated net worth, as defined.  As a result of 
this requirement, $1.9 billion of Sprint's $3.20 billion consolidated 
retained earnings was effectively restricted from payment of 
dividends as of September 30, 1995.  Before any dividends on 
Sprint Common Stock may be paid or declared and set apart for 
payment, full cumulative dividends on the Sprint Preferred Stock 
(and, if authorized and issued, the Class A Preference 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. 

Voting Rights

     Except as hereinafter noted, holders of Sprint 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, or if any sinking fund payment on any series of the
Sprint Preferred Stock has been in arrears for more than one
year, 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
and sinking fund payments 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. 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 Sprint Board is divided into three classes, with
each class consisting, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the
total number of directors and serving a staggered three-year
term.  Only one class is elected each year, and it is
elected for a three-year term.  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.

     The Class A Stock, if authorized and issued, would have
certain class voting rights (among other things, the right to
elect their own directors to the Sprint Board and, for a
period of years, to disapprove certain Sprint transactions) as 
well as general voting rights.

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.

     The Charter Amendments would revise these provisions to
provide that the approval of stockholders other than Deutsche
Telekom AG, France Telecom and their affiliates which would
otherwise be required by such provisions will not be required in
connection with purchases, redemptions or other acquisitions
by Sprint of Sprint equity securities held by Deutsche Telekom
AG, France Telecom and certain other entities pursuant to the
Investment Agreement, a related agreement to be entered into
with France Telecom and Deutsche Telekom AG and the Articles 
of Incorporation as proposed to be amended by the Charter
Amendments.
Redemption

     The Charter Amendments would permit the redemption of
shares of Sprint Common Stock and, in certain circumstances, Class
A 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
would 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 issued prior to the
occurrence of certain takeover events has one-half of a
Right attached in accordance with the terms of a Shareholder
Rights Plan adopted by Sprint on August 8, 1989.  The Rights do not
become exercisable and do not separate from the shares of
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-hundredth of a share of Preferred
Stock-Fourth Series, Junior Participating at a price of $235
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 20
percent or more of the outstanding shares of Sprint Common Stock
become null and void.  The Rights may be redeemed by Sprint at a
price of one cent per Right and expire on September 8, 1999.

     In connection with the anticipated investment in Class A
Stock by France Telecom and Deutsche Telekom AG, the
Shareholder Rights Plan was amended to provide for Rights to attach to
the Class A Common stock and to assure that the investment will
not cause the Rights to detach and become exercisable.  The
amendment to the Shareholder Rights Plan provides generally that
actions of France Telecom, Deutsche Telekom AG 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, France Telecom and Deutsche
Telekom AG.

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 Sprint Preferred
Stock (and any Class A Preference 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.  Deutsche Telekom AG
and France Telecom will have the contractual right to purchase
additional shares of Class A Stock from Sprint to enable
them to maintain their ownership level at 20%.

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 Chemical Mellon
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 11 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 11, 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 be required 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 11 and indemnify directors and officers of Sprint
against additional liabilities not indemnified under Section 11.

     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 19th day of 
December 1995.
