    A hearing was held on March 5, 1986 in Trenton, New Jersey. At the hearing, the parties informed the undersigned Administrative Law Judge that they had reached an agreement, found on pages 3 through 5 of the hearing transcript.

    Upon consideration of the record and the settlement agreement, it is hereby ORDERED that the settlement is APPROVED and incorporated herein by reference. This settlement agreement shall constitute my constitute my findings and conclusions of law. The terms of the agreement shall be final and binding upon all parties.
