         The President today announced his intent to designate Van B.

    Telecommunications Advisory Committee (NSTAC).

         Mr. Van B. Honeycutt, of Harrisonburg, Virginia, is Chairman,
    President and Chief Executive Officer of Computer Sciences Corporation
    (CSC), a leading provider of management consulting and information
    technology solutions and services to industries and governments
    worldwide.  Mr. Honeycutt joined CSC in 1975, as a regional marketing
    manager for the company's timesharing and value-added network.  He later
    served as Vice President and General Manager of CSC's Business Services
    Division.  In 1983, Mr. Honeycutt became President of CSC Credit
    Services.  Mr. Honeycutt was promoted to Corporate Vice President and
    President of CSC's Industry Services Group in 1987, where he directed
    the company's activities in a wide range of commercial markets.  In
    1993, he became President and Chief Operating officer of CSC.  He was
    named Chief Executive Officer in April 1995.

         Mr. Honeycutt earned a B.S. in Business Administration from
    Franklin University in Ohio, and completed Stanford University's
    Executive Graduate Program.

         The President's National Security Telecommunications Advisory
    Committee, established under Executive Order 12382, provides the
    President with technical information and advice on national security
    telecommunications policy.  The Committee is composed of no more than 30
    chief executives representing elements of the national
    telecommunications industry, including the information services,
    electronics, aerospace, and banking sectors.  Members are appointed by
    the President and serve at the pleasure of the President.  The NSTAC
    itself meets approximately every 9-12 months, but its industry Executive
    Subcommittee carries out studies throughout the year.
