Item 5.  Other Events                                                           

Fourth Quarter 1998 and Calendar Year 1998 Results Announced          

On February 2, 1999, Sprint Corporation ("Sprint") announced          
fourth quarter 1998 and calendar year 1998 results in both its FON              
Group and its PCS Group.  Information concerning the results is                 
contained in the news release, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99           
to this report and is incorporated in this report by reference.                 

Clinton Administration Recommendation Regarding Tax Treatment         
of Tracking Stock Issuances                                           

The Clinton administration's annual budget proposal                   
recommends changes in the tax law which, if enacted, would                      
affect future issuances of tracking stocks, the definition                      
of which Sprint believes would appear to include the PCS                        
Stock and possibly the FON Stock issued by Sprint.  Such                        
recommendation may or may not be incorporated in proposed                       
legislation, or enacted into law, and if incorporated or                        
enacted it is not possible to determine the form in which                       
such legislation would be presented.  Under the                                 
recommendation, upon the issuance of tracking stock (or a                       
recapitalization of stock or securities into tracking                           
stock), gain would be recognized in an amount equal to the                      
excess of the fair market value of the tracked assets over                      
their adjusted basis.  A "grandfather" clause is included,                      
which provides that the recommendation would be effective                       
for tracking stock issued on or after the date of enactment.                    
Therefore, the recommendation to tax the issuance of                            
tracking stocks would not affect currently outstanding                          
shares of PCS Stock or FON Stock or shares of PCS Stock                         
that Sprint issues in its offering pursuant to its Registration                 
Statement No. 333-64241. If enacted, however, the recommendation                
could adversely affect Sprint's ability to utilize tracking stock               
to raise equity capital in the future.
