          Adopted:  March 9, 1995;  Released:  March 17, 1995

By the Chief, Formal Complaints & Investigations Branch, Enforcement
Division, Common Carrier Bureau:

     1.   AT&T Corporation (AT&T) (formerly American Telephone and
Telegraph Company) filed a complaint, File No. E-92-88, against MCI
Telecommunications Corporation (MCI) alleging that MCI had violated the
Commission's international settlements policy (ISP) in its provision
of service to the United Arab Emirates.  The Common Carrier Bureau
(Bureau) found that MCI had violated the ISP.  AT&T then filed a
supplemental complaint for damages stemming from MCI's violation while
MCI responded by filing an application for review of the Bureau's
order.  In a separate matter, on August 18, 1994, MCI filed a
complaint, File No. E-94-80, alleging that AT&T had violated the ISP
with respect to the provision of certain services with Bolivia.  No
order has yet been issued in this proceeding and the parties have been
addressing interrogatories.

     2.   At present, the parties have filed motions seeking
dismissal, with prejudice, of AT&T's supplemental complaint for damages
and MCI's application for review of the Bureau's order in File No. E-
92-88, as well as a joint motion to dismiss MCI's complaint against
AT&T's alleged violation of the ISP in conjunction with service to
Bolivia.  In support of their motions, the parties state that a
mutually agreeable settlement of all of the claims in these actions has
been reached.  

     3.   We are satisfied that granting the parties' motions will
serve the public interest by eliminating the need for further
litigation and the expenditure of further time and resources by the
parties and by the Commission.

     4.   Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Sections 1, 4(i),
4(j), and 208 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.
 151, 154(i), 154(j), and 208, and the authority delegated in Section
0.291 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.291, that the parties'
Joint Motion to Dismiss and MCI's Motion for Voluntary Dismissal ARE
GRANTED.

     5.   IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the supplemental complaint; the
application for review; and the complaint in the above-captioned
proceedings ARE DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE and the proceedings ARE
TERMINATED.
