The enclosed chart provides that information and notes the heavy expenditures required under the Local contract with respect to satellite construction and service activation. The projected dates assume, for the sake of illustration, reinstatement of the authorization by November 17, 2003. We would be happy to answer any questions you or others may have with respect to this information. Respectfully submitted, uy Snfaoy BHitths};,, Lote: douh._ Gregory C. Staple Alfred E.
