                                                                                   Exhibit F

                      Nature of Request and Public Interest Statement


        By the instant application (“Application”), Commission consent is sought to the
assignment of the licenses for Domestic Fixed Satellite Service Stations E090079 and E090080
(the “Licenses”) from Marshall Communications (“Marshall”) to Science Applications
International Corporation (“SAIC”). Marshall and SAIC will be referred to herein as the
“Parties”.

        The Parties seek Commission consent to the assignment of the Licenses to SAIC in light
of SAIC’s ongoing operational responsibility with respect to these earth station facilities, which
are currently used in connection with SAIC’s implementation of the NASA Integrated
Communication Services (NICS) contract. These facilities were initially operated in conjunction
with the implementation of Unified NASA Information Technology Services (UNITeS) contract,
and then with respect to the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) Information Technology
Services (MITS) contract, and now the NICS contract, for which SAIC is the prime contractor
charged with operational responsibility of the earth station facilities, and for which Marshall is
not the subcontractor.

        Upon grant of the Application, the Licenses will be authorized in SAIC’s name and SAIC
will continue to operate the stations in support of the relevant contract requirements. As
demonstrated in the Application, SAIC has the qualifications necessary to become the
Commission licensee for the stations. For all of the foregoing reasons, the Parties respectfully
submit that the proposed transaction will serve the public interest.
