 The following appears on page 38 of the October 21st issue of 
 Telecommunications Reports.
 
 "Chantilly VA based Government System's Inc, a joint venture of MCI 
 Telecommunications Corp.  and Infonet Services Corp., has completed the 
 transition of the Defense Data Network/Internet network Information Center 
 from SRI International's contract management to Government Systems 
 oversight.  Awarded earlier this year, the 12 month, multimillion dollar 
 contract includes 4 one year renewal options.  Under the contract 
 Government Systems provides installation and management services for the 
 Defense Data Network and Internet Network Information center.  the new 
 help desk telephone number for DDN and Internet users is 703 802 4535."
 
 Are they talking about the NIC for the Inter-agency Interim NREN here??  I 
 did not realize the award had been made?
