Sprint Corporation (formerly United Telecommunications, Inc.)
has heretofore filed Registration Statement No. 2-62061 which
initially registered 400,000 shares of Common Stock, par value
$2.50 per share the "Common Stock"), for issuance under the 1978
Stock Option Plan (the "Plan"). In December, 1989, there was a
two-for-one split of the Common Stock, increasing the number of
shares covered by the Registration Statement. Options granted
under the Plan for 441,936 shares of Common Stock have been
exercised. No options are outstanding and no additional options
will be granted under the Plan. Therefore, the Registration
Statement is amended to deregister the remaining shares of Common
Stock registered for sale under the Plan.
