                                        Dear Ms. Salas:
                                                wete SR

                                        The United Stites International University—Africa (USIU—A) wishes ‘to extend its support for approval of
                                        the AfriSpace System, which will provide satellite sound broadcasting to Africa and the Middle East.

                                        ISOU—A was founded in 1970 as the African campus of the United States International Universities. The
                                        university has witnessed tremendous growth in terms of programs as well as the student population over the
                                        years. We recently moved to our own campus in Kasarani and have endeavored to provide quality
                                        education, reasonable fees, transport, extra curricular activities as well as state—of—the—art learning
                                        equipmeat Wwitlka team of specialist and highly trained personnel.

                                        USIU—A is extremely interested in utilizing the AfriSpace system to advance its training programs. The
                                        AfriSpace System could be used to disseminate information to potential students. and to communicate with
                                        our c counterparts in other African countries. in a bid to improve our services and broaden our curriculum.
                                        The AfriSpace: System would provide national and continental coverage that is not possible using
                                        traditional terrestrial broadcasting technology.

      ¥                                 The AffiSpaee‘Systm represents an important tool for learning institutions such as ours that seek to
                                        improve the quality of education for the continent, to meet with the changing global demmands and
                                        technology. Please, take this consideration when reviewing the AfriSpace application and approve its use
