AT&T Sets Final Stock Distribution Ratio of Lucent
Technologies


FOR RELEASE:  Wednesday, September 18, 1996

     NEW YORK -- AT&T today announced that the final
distribution of the shares in Lucent Technologies Inc.,
scheduled for September 30, will be on the basis of .324084 of
a share of Lucent for each AT&T share outstanding.  Last
evening, AT&T had 1,618,791,701 shares outstanding.

     In July, the AT&T board of directors declared a special
stock dividend to AT&T shareowners of record on September
17,1996.  The special dividend is the distribution of the
524,624,894 shares of common stock in Lucent Technologies
currently held by AT&T.  The distribution will finalize the
spinoff of Lucent Technologies from AT&T.

     The distribution will result in AT&T shareowners
receiving approximately 82.4 percent of the outstanding shares
of Lucent Technologies common stock.  The other 17.6 percent
of the outstanding shares of Lucent Technologies was sold to
the public in April.

     Shareowners will receive stock certificates for whole
shares and cash payments for fractional shares.  As previously
announced, AT&T has received a ruling from the Internal
Revenue Service that the dividend to shareowners qualifies as
tax-free for federal income tax purposes, except to the extent
that cash is received instead of fractional shares.  The
distribution remains subject to the conditions set forth in
the spinoff agreement previously entered into between AT&T and
Lucent Technologies.
