                                                                        EXHIBIT 1




Ford Motor Company ("Ford"), parent to Ford Communications, Inc. ("Ford
Comm"), is principally engaged in the manufacture and marketing of transportation
vehicles. Ford also develops and markets many products through its subsidiary
activities.

Over the past several years, there has been substantial activity, both in the United
States and internationally, toward development of a new Digital Audio Radio
("DAR") service. Logically, the motoring public will want DAR receivers in their
vehicles; and Ford desires to develop and test products to be available to fulfill the
public demand in this regard.

Ford Comm is one of the Ford subsidiary activities. Ford Comm proposes,
through the requested authorization, to provide research, development, and testing
of mobile receives capable of DAR reception, as well as ancillary data reception
useful during vehicular operation. Ford Comm intends to test a number of DAR
mobile receivers under typical vehicular operational conditions. Testing will be
conducted in the vicinity of Dearborn, Michigan; location of Ford‘s world
headquarters.
