Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 5(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	Includes 32,500 deferred shares, which are subject to forfeiture until they vest.
(2)	The shares of series 1 common stock were acquired pursuant to the merger agreement between Nextel Communications, Inc. and Sprint Corporation, which provides for the conversion of each outstanding share of Nextel class A common stock into approximately 1.2675 shares of Sprint Nextel common stock and cash equal to the product of the cash ratio of 0.0325 and the average of the per share closing prices of shares of Sprint series 1 common stock during the 20 trading day period on the New York Stock Exchange ending on (and including) the August 12, 2005, the closing date of the merger.
(3)	The Amount of Securities Beneficially Owned as initially reported on 8/12/05 of 103,781 was incorrect. Prior to the merger, 10,000 shares of Nextel class A common stock were sold which would have converted to 12,675 shares of Sprint Nextel common stock after the merger. Those shares were incorrectly included. The Amount of Securities Beneficially Owned on 8/12/05 should have been 91,106. The 12,675 shares were also incorrectly included in column 5 of Table I on 8 Form 4's filed by the Reporting Person after the original Form 3 was filed.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, See Instruction 6 for procedure.
