Dear Mr. Harris:

Pursuant to discussions between PanAmSat Licensee Corporation ("PanAmSat") and Hughes
Communications Galaxy, Inc. ("HCG") under your auspices, PanAmSat hereby withdraws its opposition
to a conditional grant of the pending applications filed by Hughes Communications Galaxy, Inc. and
listed in Attachment A hereto ("HCG" and "HCG Applications"), on the express understanding that, on
even date herewith, HCG (i) withdraws its opposition to the PanAmSat applications listed in Attachment
B, hereto, and (11) requests that the Commission condition the grant of the HCG Applications upon the
outcome of the pending rulemaking proceeding regarding the regulatory policies governing domestic
fixed satellites and separate international satellite systems (IB Docket No. 95—41) (the "Rulemaking").

Additionally, PanAmSat represents to the Commission that it will not take any action that would
materially and adversely affect the issuance of grants of the HCG Applications conditioned on the
outcome of the Rulemaking, including minor amendments to such applications and requests for waiver
of the construction permit requirement specified in Section 319(d) of the Communications Act.
PanAmSat also represents that it will not take any action to induce any subsidiary, affiliate, or third party
to take any action forbidden to PanAmSat as described in the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, these representations shall not preclude PanAmSat from taking any position or making any
argument in the Rulemaking regarding HCG or issues raised by the HCG Applications.

Accordingly, PanAmSat hereby requests that its petitions and other filings regarding the HCG
Applications be dismissed with prejudice and that the HCG Applications be granted upon the express
condition that they are contingent on the outcome of the Rulemaking.

PanAmSat appreciates your and the Bureau‘s participation in the above process.


                                                            Very truly yours,
