|  |     For those who may not know, LORAL bought Ford's Aerospace Unit a few
    years ago, renaming it LORAL.  I'm not sure what the acronym stands
    for.  Loral is a prime contracter in Digital's Federal Government Unit.  
    Now it stands to be one of our fierest competitor's also.

    Loral is an aerospace contractor no different from Martin Marietta and
    will continue to be no different after the acquisition. IBM had 2
    integration units with Federal being the one that did multivendor
    integration. The other (I forget the name) did IBM only integration and
    that was not sold.
    
    I'm aware of a current contract IBM Federal has that is integrating all
    Digital products.

| 2816.3 | What is this FAA project, oops... | GRANPA::MZARUDZKI | I AXPed it, and it is thinking... | Wed Dec 15 1993 08:11 | 7 |

     And LORAL has just invested in the FAA 1.5 BILLION dollar cost over
    run upgrade project. "fierest competitor?" No, not for some time.
    They missed on the research of what IBM was doing. Interesting.
