<A> AT&T Fincl Chief Says Cash From Citibank Deal For Expansion

NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--AT&T Corp. (T) Chief Financial Officer Dan Somers said the $3.5 billion it will receive from Citibank for its Universal Card will be used to expand the company's wireless and long-distance businesses.

"By the time we finish the total divestiture of our noncore telecom assets, we will have generated pretty close to $4.5 to $5 billion of proceeds that will be used for general corporate purposes," Somers said Thursday in an interview on CNBC.

"That means to grow our businesses - our core telecommunications, our wireless businesses, our long distance, our global, and also our efforts here locally," he said.
