ONLINE ACCESS TO AT&T'S 1993 ANNUAL REPORT; PLUS NEWS RELEASES


     BASKING RIDGE, N.J., March 4, 1994 -- AT&T's new 1993 Annual
Report has just been installed on AT&T News Online.


     AT&T News Online is a data base containing nearly 5,000 company
press releases going back five years.  Also included are AT&T's 1991
and 1992 Annual Reports and the most current AT&T Fact Book.


     The fact book contains many of the company's "vital statistics,"
including such items as notable AT&T Bell Labs inventions, AT&T
business units and groups, corporate environmental and philanthropic
activities, a corporate history, employee head counts, corporate
revenues and many other facts.  The fact book was last updated in
September 1993.  The next update is expected in early April.


     New releases are available via AT&T News Online whenever they are
issued to the media.
