Summary of 2005 Salaries

 Exhibit 10(j) 
  
 Summary of 2005 salaries and short-term incentive compensation of named executive officers 
  
 Base salaries for 2005 for the five executive officers with the highest 2004 compensation are as follows(1): 
  

				
	 Gary D. Forsee, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
	  	$	1,200,000
	 Len J. Lauer, President and Chief Operating Officer
	  	$	933,000
	 Robert J. Dellinger, Executive Vice President—Chief Financial Officer
	  	$	562,400
	 Michael B. Fuller, President-Local Telecommunication Division
	  	$	714,300
	 Howard E. Janzen, President-Sprint Business Solutions
	  	$	556,500

  
 Awards under the Management Incentive Plan based
on 2005 results will be determined using three variables: (1) the executive officer’s annual incentive target, (2) achievement of two objectives, described below, and (3) weightings for the objectives. The executive officer’s incentive
target will be multiplied by the weightings and the payout results for each objective to calculate the actual incentive amount. Payouts can range from 0 to 200% of the respective target awards for each objective, subject to any applicable limitation
in any executive officer employment agreement. 
  
 The 2005 objectives for executive
officers include consolidated EVA (80%) and enterprise composite customer satisfaction (20%). Consolidated EVA is calculated as net operating profits after taxes less a charge for the carrying cost of all capital invested in the enterprise (average
invested capital multiplied by weighted average cost of capital). Enterprise composite customer satisfaction will be based on third party customer satisfaction survey results. 
  
 The 2005 incentive targets approved by the Compensation Committee of the Sprint Board in February 2005 for the five executive officers with the
highest 2004 compensation are as follows(1): 
  

				
	 Gary D. Forsee
	  	$	2,040,000
	 Len J. Lauer
	  	$	1,120,000
	 Robert J. Dellinger
	  	$	490,000
	 Michael B. Fuller
	  	$	490,000
	 Howard E. Janzen
	  	$	490,000

  
 If the proposed merger with Nextel
Communications, Inc., is completed before year-end 2005, full year EVA performance will be calculated by dividing actual year-to-date performance through the most recent full month before the close of the merger by budgeted year-to-date performance
for the same period and multiplying the quotient by the 2005 full year budget. The most recently completed quarterly customer satisfaction survey results available before the close of the merger will be used to proportionately assess cumulative
quarterly performance and payment results. 
  

	(1)	 	These amounts may change in connection with the proposed merger with Nextel Communications, Inc.Summary of Sprint Retention Program

 Exhibit 10(v) 
  
 Summary of Sprint Retention Program 
  
 The purpose of the Sprint retention program is to retain certain critical officers and other employees pending the proposed merger with Nextel Communications, Inc. and the
contemplated spin-off of Sprint’s local telecommunications business and for a period of one year after these events. The Sprint retention program provides that Sprint’s executive officers, other than Messrs. Forsee and Lauer, are eligible
for retention payments equal to 100% of their respective annual base salary and target short-term incentive bonus as of January 17, 2005. Under the terms of Sprint’s retention program, Robert J. Dellinger, Howard E. Janzen, Timothy E. Kelly,
Michael W. Stout, Thomas A. Gerke, Kathryn A. Walker, Gene M. Betts, William R. Blessing, James G. Kissinger and John P. Meyer are eligible to receive retention payments equal to one-half of their annual base salary at the time of completion of the
merger or an intervening business combination. They are entitled to receive a second retention payment equal to one-half of their annual base salary, plus the amount of their target short-term incentive bonus, on the first anniversary of completion
of the merger or an intervening business combination. If one of these executive officers is involuntarily terminated other than for cause, the executive officer will receive the retention payment on the executive officer’s last day worked or
the date on which the merger or intervening business combination is completed, whichever is later. Michael B. Fuller, President-Local Telecommunications Division, is eligible to receive one-half of his annual base salary retention payment at the
time of completion of the contemplated spin-off. The balance of his base salary retention payment and the short-term incentive bonus payment are payable on the first anniversary of completion of the contemplated spin-off. If he is involuntarily
terminated other than for cause, the retention payment will be made on his last day worked or the date of completion of the contemplated spin-off following the merger, whichever is later. If any covered executive officer voluntarily terminates his
or her employment or is terminated for cause before a retention payment is made, the executive officer will not receive that retention payment. No retention payments will be made under the Sprint retention program if neither the merger nor an
intervening business combination is completed, and no retention payments will be made to Mr. Fuller if the contemplated spin-off is not completed. 
  
 In addition, if the merger is completed and a participating executive officer, other than Mr. Fuller, is involuntarily terminated other than for cause before the first anniversary
of completion of the merger, all stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and any other equity based awards held by the executive officer for at least one year at the end of the executive officer’s severance period will fully
vest on the last day of the severance period as long as that day is on or after the date the merger is completed. If Mr. Fuller is involuntarily terminated other than for cause before the first anniversary of completion of the contemplated spin-off,
all equity based awards held by him for at least one year at the end of his severance period will fully vest on the last day of the severance period as long as that day is on or after the date the merger is completed; however, if the contemplated
spin-off does not occur, he will be entitled to acceleration of his equity based awards only if the involuntary termination occurs before the first anniversary of the merger. 
  
 The Sprint retention program also provides other eligible officers with retention payments of up to 100% of their annual base salaries. Certain
eligible officers may also be eligible to receive retention payments of up to the amount of their target short-term incentive bonus. Eligible officers who are involuntarily terminated other than for cause before the first anniversary of completion
of the merger or the contemplated spin-off, as applicable, will be entitled to acceleration of vesting of their equity based awards. An officer who accepts a position with the company resulting from the contemplated spin-off will not be considered
to have been involuntarily terminated, and will therefore not receive accelerated vesting of equity based awards, due to acceptance of that position.Form of 2005 Award Agreement with Messrs. Forsee & Lauer

 EXHIBIT 10(dd) 
  
 Award Agreement 
  
 THIS AWARD AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of
                    , 2005 (the “Grant Date”), by and between SPRINT CORPORATION, a Kansas
corporation (together with its direct and indirect subsidiaries, “Sprint”)
and                                         (the
“Executive”), an employee of Sprint for the grant of options and restricted stock units with respect to Sprint’s FON Common Stock, par value $2.00 per share (“FON Stock”). 
  
 IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth in this
Agreement, the parties agree to the following. 
  
 1.    Defined
Terms Incorporated from 1997 Long-Term Stock Incentive Program 
  
 Capitalized terms
used in this Award Agreement and not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in Sprint’s 1997 Long-Term Stock Incentive Program (the “Program”). 
  
 2.    Grant of Stock Options 
  
 Sprint hereby grants to Executive under the Program options to buy
                     shares of FON Stock at a strike price of $     per share (the “Option”). The Option becomes
exercisable at a rate of 25% of the total number of shares subject to purchase on each of the first four anniversaries of the Grant Date and expires on the 10th anniversary of the Grant Date. The Option is governed by, and this Agreement hereby incorporates, the Standard Terms of Options set forth in Section 6(g) of the Program except (i) as provided in Section 4 below, and (ii)
that the strike price of $     was set at 110% of the Fair Market Value of one Share of FON Stock on the Grant Date. 
  
 3.    Grant of Restricted Stock Units 
  
 Sprint hereby grants to Executive under the Program                      FON
restricted stock units (the “RSUs”). Each RSU represents the unsecured right to require Sprint to deliver to Executive one share of FON Stock. With respect to 100% of the RSUs, the “vesting date” and “initial delivery
date” is on the third anniversary of the Grant Date subject to paragraph 4.01 below. The RSUs are governed by, and this Agreement hereby incorporates, the Standard Terms of Other Stock Unit Awards set forth in Section 9(c) of the Program except
as provided in Section 4 below. 
  
 4.    Terms different from
Standard Terms 
  
 4.01    Performance
adjustment. Subject to discretion of the Compensation Committee of Sprint’s Board of Directors, the number of RSUs in Section 3 will be adjusted by multiplying that number by a payout percentage (from 0% to 200%) based on achievement of
financial objectives relating to enterprise economic value added (EVA) during 2005 (the “Performance Adjustment”). If the proposed merger with Nextel Communications, Inc., is completed before year-end 2005, full year EVA performance
will be calculated by dividing actual year-to-date performance through the most recent full month before the close of the merger by budgeted year-to-date performance for the same period and multiplying the quotient by the 2005 full year budget. The
Performance Adjustment will be made as soon as practicable after year-end 2005. If Executive remains an employee of Sprint throughout 2005, cash dividends on the FON Stock underlying these RSUs during 2005 will be paid to Executive as soon as
practicable after the Performance Adjustment. These cash dividends will be calculated by first adjusting the RSUs by the Performance Adjustment and then applying the dividend rate for each quarterly dividend for which Executive held the RSUs, as
adjusted, on each dividend record date. After the Performance Adjustment is made, if cash dividends are paid on the underlying FON Stock, Executive will receive cash dividends for RSUs held on the dividend record date as provided in Section 9(c) of
the Program. 
  
 4.02    Section 280G of the Internal
Revenue Code. The limitation on acceleration of vesting under Section 6(g)(viii) and Section 9(c)(iv) of the Program, relating to payments or benefits contingent on a change in control within the meaning of Code Section 280G, does not apply
to the Option or RSUs. 
  
 5.    Plan Information 
  
 Executive hereby acknowledges having read the 1997 Long-Term Stock Incentive Program Plan Information
Statement dated February 2005 available on line at http://ppld.corp.sprint.com/hr/comp/ec.html. To the extent not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, the terms of such information statement and the Program are hereby
incorporated by this reference. 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Sprint has caused this Agreement to be executed by its duly
authorized officer and the Executive has executed the same as of the Grant Date.
