          On June 14, while I believe you were out of                  ie office, Mi       3 Jones and I 1    t with
Geor      : Li, Howard Griboff, JoAnn Ekblad and Jodi (                »per to descr       »e the applicai    on we had
file       for transfer of control of two Section 214 :                chorizations        ald by North Ar    rican
Comm      ications Limited.   North American is a wholl                —owned subsic       iry of eircom,     reland‘s
larg      it telecommunications company and principal ;                vider of donr       stic and interi    tional
fixe      line telecommunications services in Ireland.                 Torth America        holds two Seci    on 214
auth      ‘izations, one to provide global facilities—t                sed and globs        resale servic      between
the       S. and Ireland, and the other for global fac                 Llities—based       1d resale serv:    es
betw      n the U.S. and all authorized international                  jints excludi       ; Ireland.

          The overall transaction involves a transfer                  E control of        Lrcom (and the:    fore
Nort      American) from the public shareholders of ei                 zom Group to        cown & Babcock     apital
Limi      d ("BCM"), an entity that is publicly tradec                 n the Austrs        Lan stock exch:    ge.  The
U.8.      ortion of this transaction is very small rel                 cive to the n       th larger acqu     ition by
BCM       ‘ eircom.  Moreover, North American has a ve:                 limited pres       ice in the Unii    d States.
Nort       American provides no services to end user c                 comers in the       JInited States :   d neither
Nort      American nor its parent,        eircom, offer any i          cernational t       Lecommunicatio1     services
to &      sumers or businesses between the U.S. and ar                  other foreic        destinations.     All of
Nort      American‘s traffic is received from and trar                 fitted to otf       £ carriers in —    nnection
with      eering,     intercomnnection or other traffic exc            1ge arrangeme       :s with those «    rriers.

        Attached is a copy of the pending transfer : jligation for your reference                              We asked
for    reamlined processing and the application ap; ired on public notice on Jun                              23.
geor _ : indicated at our meeting that he had furnis ad the application to Team T«                            ecom and
that the Executive agencies were asked to submit comments by July 5th.

      We indicated at our FCC meeting that we needed an FCC grant in advance of the
closing of the transaction, which is scheduled for August 18.  We were not aware at the
time, however, that our clients actually need FCC approval by July 19, which is five
business days before the scheduled July 26 meeting of public shareholders required to
approve this transaction.  I am providing a copy of this email to people who attended our
earlier meeting so that they will know about this earlier date.

      We have coordinated closely over the past week or so with Joe Springstein at DOJ and
Lou Brenner at DHS and responded today to the standard Questionaire which they furnished.
They indicated that getting sign off from the Executive Branch agencies prior to July 19
was an aggressive schedule, and they certainly could make no promises, but that they would
try to help.  We discussed the possibility of their approving the issuance by the FCC of
an STA by July 19 so that the scheduled shareholder meeting could proceed on July 26, and
Joe Springstein indicated that Team Telecom had authorized STAs in certain other cases in

                                                             1


the past, although he made no promises.  If an STA approving the transfer can be     .ssued by
July 19, we would hope to have full—blown FCC authority by the August 18 closing

      It is our hope that when Team Telecom reviews the responses to their Quest     maire,
they will determine either that they have no interest in this transaction or,   if   ‘hey do,
that an STA prior to the July 19 deadline would be appropriate given the nature      id very
limited scope of North American‘s presence in the United States.

      Mike Jones and I would like to discuss with you the pending Section 214 tr isfer
application and the proposed filing of an STA request to facilitate approval of   is
transaction by July 19.  As noted above, we will plan to telephone you after you return to
the office next Thursday.

      David,   thanks very much in advance for your help on this matter.
