subsidiaries Startec Global Operating Company and Startec Global Licensing
Company, a Debtors' Joint Plan of Reorganization (301the "Plan") 610with the U.S.

The Plan as proposed provides for the settlement of all claims against us and
our co-4300debtors, and for distributions to certain classes of secured and
