MORE PLAYERS IN GSA'S PHONE GAME.

The article reports on the request of House Government Operators Committee Chairman Jack Brooks to the General Services Administration to have two contractors for the $5 billion Federal Telephone System in Dallas, Texas. Several government agencies disagree and seek their own phone system rather than wait for the FTS. Among the bidding targets include the bets at the AT&T Corp. and its partner, Boeing Co., against a 12-member team including Martin Marietta.
