NEWS RELEASE

                    William Hannigan JOINS AT&T AS PRESIDENT

                Former Chairman and CEO of Sabre Holdings Brings
               Deep Telecom Experience And Strong Marketing Focus

FOR RELEASE TUESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 2003

         BEDMINSTER, N.J. -- AT&T (NYSE: T) today announced that William J.
Hannigan, a seasoned telecom executive who was most recently Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of Sabre Holdings (NYSE: TSG), has been named President of
AT&T, effective immediately. Hannigan, 44, succeeds Betsy Bernard, 48, who is
leaving AT&T to pursue other opportunities.

         "Before he joined Sabre Holdings, where he led that company's
continuing evolution as the world leader and innovator in travel commerce, Bill
Hannigan spent more than 16 years at Sprint, Pacific Bell and SBC in
increasingly senior executive positions," said David W. Dorman, Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer of AT&T. "Bill has a deep understanding of the telecom
industry. His career has spanned jobs in operations, technical support, sales
and numerous general management assignments with particular depth in business
services. Throughout his career, he has consistently demonstrated world-class
operational skills, a strong marketing focus, in-depth technical knowledge and
the kind of high-energy, team-oriented approach that will help AT&T deliver on
its enormous potential as the world's networking company. I am delighted to have
Bill as our President as we position the company to resume growth in the years
ahead."

         "I am extremely pleased to be joining AT&T and look forward to working
closely with Dave Dorman and the people of AT&T," said Hannigan. "With its
industry-leading network capabilities, world-leading brand, excellent customer
relationships, strong financial position and track record of investing in
network, product and service innovations, AT&T is energized and well positioned
to win and thrive in the telecom industry."


         Commenting on Bernard's departure, Dorman said, "We deeply appreciate
all that Betsy has done since rejoining AT&T nearly three years ago. Her
dedication and commitment to serving customers have helped strengthen the
foundation of AT&T Consumer and AT&T Business where we have improved customer
service, dramatically reduced our costs and gained share in critical market
segments. We wish her all the best as she seeks to fulfill her personal goals."

         Bernard said, "While recent years have been very challenging for
everyone in the telecommunications industry, AT&T Business has succeeded in
introducing new products, serving customers better than the competition,
reducing costs, and improving on its organizational structure. I believe it is
now well positioned to benefit from the coming recovery in technology spending.
I am proud of what the people of AT&T have accomplished, and I look forward to
finding the right leadership opportunity in the next phase of my career."

         Before joining Sabre Holdings, an S&P 500 Company, at the end of 1999,
Hannigan held senior executive positions at SBC Communications, including
president of SBC Global Markets and president of Southwestern Bell's $4.5
billion Business Communications Services unit. As president of SBC's Business
Communications Services unit, he was responsible for SBC's largest multinational
customers, more than 1 million business customers and an organization including
approximately 5,000 sales, marketing, customer care and network-design
professionals, as well as the Network Integration subsidiary. Prior to SBC's
1997 acquisition of Pacific Bell, Hannigan served as the company's vice
president of Business Services Sales.

         Prior to joining Pacific Bell in 1996, Hannigan spent nearly 12 years
at Sprint and its predecessor companies. He began his career at Sprint as a
field engineer and then served in positions of increasing responsibility,
including vice president and general manager-West Area, and vice president of
Engineering and Applications Support.

         Hannigan was recently appointed to the President's Information
Technology Advisory Committee (PITAC), which provides guidance to the President
of the United States and his administration regarding vital information
technologies. Hannigan holds a master's degree in business administration from
the University of Colorado. He also served six years in the U.S. Navy Submarine
Service, where he specialized in communications electronics.
