            Adopted:  July 1, 1997; Released: July 2, 1997                 
                                
By the Chief, Formal Complaints and Investigations Branch, Enforcement Division, Common
Carrier Bureau:

      1.On July 3, 1989, Sprint Communications Company L.P. ("Sprint") filed the
above captioned complaint against AT&T Communications (AT&T).  In its complaint, Sprint
alleged, inter alia, that AT&T's "Quality Connections Program", violated Section 203(c) of
the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, as well as the Commission's rules established
in the Second Computer Inquiry.  AT&T's "Quality Connections Program" provided
customers switching to AT&T long distance with discounts of up to 25% on AT&T-provided
customer premises equipment (CPE) based upon the long distance charges incurred by the
customer.  On June 30, 1997, Sprint submitted a Motion to Withdraw its Complaint.

      2.We are satisfied that the withdrawal will serve the public interest by eliminating
the need for further litigation and the further expenditure of resources by the parties and the
Commission.

      3.Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED pursuant to Sections 4(i), 4(j), and 208 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.  154(i), 154(j), 208, and the authority
delegated by Sections 0.91 and 0.291 of the Commissions rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.91, 0.291,
that Sprint's Motion to Withdraw its Complaint IS GRANTED.

      4.IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the above-captioned complaint is
DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE and that this proceeding IS TERMINATED.
