MOTION OF THE UNITED STATES TO ESTABLISH BRIEFING

SCHEDULE FOR PROPOSED MODIFICATION OF SECTION II(D)(1)

The United States has filed a motion, under section VII of

the decree, for a modification of section II(D)(1) to permit a

trial, supervised by the Department of Justice and the Court, in

which Ameritech could provide interexchange service for a limited
geographic area, with appropriate safeguards, when competitive

local exchange services become available.

The United States respectfully suggests that the Court
establish the following schedule for submission of the United
States' memorandum and supporting affidavits and for responses
and replies by all other decree parties and interested persons:
May 1, 1995 Memorandum of the United States in support of
Motion
May 31, 1995 Comments and memoranda in response to the
United States' Motion (including all decree
parties and other interested persons whether
supporting or opposing the motion)
June 30, 1995 Replies to the comments and memoranda
(including United States' reply and all
 replies by any other party or interested
person to any May 31 filing)

The United States believes that the suggested schedule

should allow sufficient time for all interested persons to
express their views while facilitating prompt consideration by
the Court.
The United States requests that, after briefing is
completed, the Court schedule a hearing on the United States'
motion at its earliest convenience.
Respectfully submitted,
