This Statement constitutes Amendment No. 6 ("Amendment No. 6") to the
statement on Schedule 13D (the "Original 13D") filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission by Leucadia National Corporation ("Leucadia"), and its
subsidiaries, LUK Acquisition I, LLC ("LUK I") and LUK Acquisition II, LLC ("LUK

Common Stock"), of WilTel Communications Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation
("WilTel").
Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein have
the meanings ascribed to them in the Original 13D.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
----------------------
On August 21, 2003, Leucadia and WilTel issued a joint press release
announcing board approval and execution of an Agreement and Plan of Merger
providing for the merger of a subsidiary of Leucadia into WilTel, with WilTel as
the surviving corporation. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as
Exhibit 2 and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Agreement and
Plan of Merger among Leucadia, Wrangler Acquisition Corp and WilTel, dated as of
August 21, 2003 is attached hereto as Exhibit 3 and is incorporated herein by
reference.
This communication shall not constitute an offer to sell or the
solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of
securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would
be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of
any such jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made except by means
of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended.
Any offer will only be made through a prospectus, which is part of a
registration statement to be filed with the SEC. WilTel stockholders are urged
to carefully read the registration statement and the prospectus included
therein, together with the Schedule TO and the Schedule 14D-9 and other
documents relating to the exchange offer when they become available because
these documents will contain important information relating to the offer. You
may obtain a free copy of these documents after they have been filed with the
SEC at the SEC's website at http:www.sec.gov. Once a registration statement, as
well as any documents incorporated by reference therein and a Schedule TO and
Schedule 14D-9 have been filed with the SEC, you will also be able to inspect
and copy these documents at the public reference room maintained by the SEC at
450 Fifth Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 20549. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY READ THE
PROSPECTUS, THE TENDER OFFER STATEMENT ON SCHEDULE TO AND MANAGEMENT'S
SOLICITATION / RECOMMENDATION STATEMENT ON SCHEDULE 14D-9 WHEN THEY BECOME
AVAILABLE BEFORE MAKING A DECISION CONCERNING THE OFFER.
