Summary Plan Description
Survey (SPD)
This survey is intended to estimate how many employees actually received the
"Summary Plan Description"(SPD) about the cash balance plan from AT&T in
early 1998. The SPD contains a legal description of plan rules that AT&T is
required to distribute. The results of the survey may be used as part of the

a participant.
