July I , 2004 Page 2 to supplement and clarif~~ Intelsat's original opposition so as to respond to specific questions raised by the Coiiiniission and other parties. As such, Intelsat's Ex Parte is peniiissible under the Commission's ex parte rules. Furthemiore, on May 26, 2004, representatives of Intelsat and Lockheed Martin Corporation met with Jolm Rogovin, General Counsel of the FCC, and other representatives of the Office of General Counsel and the International Bureau. At this meeting, we informed the staff that Chaimian Powell and his staff had requested that lntelsat file a substantive ex parte letter with the Commission "supplenienting and clarifying" its statutory analysis in its Opposition to SES AMERlCOM's pending Application for Relriew in this proceeding.' This request is consistent with Section 25.1 1 I ofthe Coniniission's rules, pursuant to which the ~ i o nrequest from any party at any time additional information " C ~ m i i ~ i ~ may concerning any application, or any other subniission or pleading regarding an appli~ation."~ Thus. in addition to being a peniiissible ex parte presentation, Intelsat's Ex Parte was filed in direct response to an FCC request for additional information and is therefore specifically peniijssible under Section 25.1 1 l(a) of the Conimissi0n.s rules. For the foregoing reasons, Intelsat respectfully requests that the Comniission deny SES AMERICOM's Motion to Strike. If you have any questions regarding this letter or proceedins, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned. Sincerely, Bert W. Rein Jennifer D. Hindin Carl R.
