Dear TELECOM Moderator:


    I would like to pass along some information from the Asian
Business League to readers, particularly those in the Southern
California area, about an upcoming panel discussion on the
"Information Superhighway."

    The Asian Business League (ABL) of Southern California and the
Asian Business Association - Orange County Chapter will be holding a
panel discussion entitled


               "The Information Superhighway: The Future of
          Interactive Video and Its Impact on Southern Calfornia."


                            February 24, 1994

    In fact, according to Senator Barbara Boxer, who introduced the
Vice President at the Electronic Media Summit held at UCLA on January
11th, the U.S. could generate an additional $3.5 trillion in GNP from
the implementation of the Information Superhighway after the year
2000.  Individuals wanting to know more about interactive television,

company mergers, to a change in direction of the aerospace defense
industry.
