 Statement on Improved IFCSS/AT&T/ICM Long Distance Telephone Service

   Hundreds of students and  scholars  made  their decisions to  join
in IFCSS/AT&T/ICM program with lowest rates, $0.82 for  calling China
since last night. Originally the plan would be offered till  the  end 
of Sunday.

   Many Chinese students called around, however,  with  no confidence
in validity of IFCSS' such a special program, and they  got  negative 
responses from all AT&T service centers and operators. Of course,most 
of operators had never heard  about  this Association Reward Program.  
Some of our fellowmen even pursured their search by calling the head-
quarter of the AT&T for confirmation, which made certain  confusions.  
To avoid further trouble of unfair competition, IFCSS' partner short-
ened the offering period, and therefore, all applicants  who tried to 
switch into AT&T, if their e-mails were sent to the IFCSS  ATT@ifcss.
org   AFTER   6:00pm Saturday (EST), will be declined to the  special
rate calling China.

  IFCSS HQ staffs will hold and return all applications for switching  
from other companies made after 6:00pm on Saturday,  for  applicant's
re-consideration. 

  By the way, as we stated very clearly in  the  news  release,  this
special rate, $0.82, was for new customers. All current AT&T customer'
s original international and domestic  plans  will  not  be  affected 
when you decide to join in the program for extra benefits.   At  this
moment, except the international saving plan ($1.30/minute for China),
all other terms in HQ NR #7076, remain the same and valid.

  Please read the instruction carefully and Good Luck.
