FOR RELEASE:  WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19, 1997


             ZEGLIS APPOINTED VICE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBER OF AT&T BOARD

NEW YORK -- AT&T today  announced the election of John D. Zeglis as a member and
vice chairman of its Board of Directors.

         Zeglis,  50, will continue to be  responsible  for corporate  strategy,
business  development,  external  affairs  and  human  resources  and will  also
continue  as the  company's  General  Counsel.  He is a member of the  company's
Chairman's  Office along with Chairman and CEO,  Robert E. Allen,  President and
Chief Operating  Officer,  John Walter,  and Senior Executive Vice President and
Chief Financial Officer, Dan Somers.

         "John's  election to the Board reflects their  recognition of the vital
role he has played within AT&T at every  critical  point in our history over the
last thirteen and a half years," Allen said. "He has an unbroken track record of
progressively   handling  greater   responsibility   with   accomplishment   and
distinction."

         "John Walter and I both highly value John's  counsel.  In our industry,
matters of business  strategy,  law,  public  policy,  and external  affairs are
nearly always  intertwined.  He will advise me and the Board on mission-critical
business  strategy  and  development  that  furthers  our goal of  offering  our
customers `any distance' communications services."

         Zeglis joined AT&T in 1984 from the Chicago law firm of Sidley & Austin
where he was a partner.  He is a graduate  of the  University  of  Illinois  and
received  his law degree  magna cum laude from Harvard Law School where he was a
senior editor of the Harvard Law Review.

         He is  Chairman  of the  Board of  Trustees  of the  George  Washington
University, a trustee of the Brookings Institution,  and a trustee of the Culver
Educational  Foundation  in  Culver,  Indiana.  He is  also  a  director  of the
Helmerich and Payne Corporation in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and the Illinova Corporation
in Decatur, Illinois.
