NEWSReport No. DC 96-8     ACTION IN DOCKET CASE           February 7, 1996

                COMMISSION APPROVES SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT 
       FACILITATING NEW CELLULAR RADIO SERVICE FOR JEWELL, KANSAS
                         (CC Docket No. 90-591)
                                    
     The Commission has approved the Joint Motion for Approval of Settlement
Agreement filed by Thomas Domencich and the Committee for a Fair Lottery (CFL), Nancy
Naleszkiewicz, and Robert Tyler, Trustee, thus facilitating the institution of new cellular radio
service for the Jewell, Kansas rural service area.

     Previously, the Commission had granted Naleskiewicz's application for authority to
construct and operate a cellular radio service system serving the Jewell, Kansas area. The
CFL then filed various pleadings objecting to the proposed assignment of the construction
permit from Naleskiewicz to the Trustee. Now the parties have entered into a settlement
agreement specifying that the Trustee would pay the CFL $50,000.000 and the CFL would
withdraw all of its pleadings. 

     The Commission has found that the Joint Motion fully complies with the rules
governing settlement agreements and has terminated the proceeding.

     Action by the Commission February 2, 1996, by Order (FCC 96-41). Chairman Hundt,
Commissioners Quello, Barrett, Ness, and Chong.
