MCI, WorldCom say confident on deal - report

Reuters Story - June 22, 1998 00:45

WASHINGTON, June 22 (Reuters) - WorldCom Inc
Chairman Bernard Ebbers said in remarks published on Monday
that he was confident of winning regulators' approval on both
sides of the Atlantic for his pending $37 billion acquisition
of MCI Communications Corp.

Ebbers told the Washington Post that the companies had been
negotiating with both the European Union and the U.S. Justice
Department on divestiture of MCI's sale of its Internet assets.

"Obviously, we wouldn't be negotiating more if they had
accepted our original proposal," he said in the joint interview
with MCI Chairman Bert Roberts. The interview took place last
Tuesday but was published on Monday in the Post's local
business section.

"They wanted an enhanced business proposal, and we have
added a few bells and whistles to the original proposal. We now
feel quite confident we're at a point where we'll get on with
business," Ebbers said.>>>
