ORDER APPROVING SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
AND DISMISSING CASE
This case arises under section 210, the employee protection
provision, of the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, as amended
(ERA), 42 U.S.C. § 5851 (1982). The record in this case includes
the [recommended] Stipulation and Order of Dismissal signed by
counsel for each party and the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ),
issued June 19, 1989, the parties' Settlement Agreement and
Release in Full of All Claims (Settlement Agreement), submitted
in response to my order of November 6, 1989, and a letter dated
November 15, 1989, signed by counsel for both parties.1
1With respect to provisions of the
Settlement Agreement dealing
with confidentiality, I would note that Freedom of Information
Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552 (1982), requires Federal agencies to disclose
requested records unless the records are exempt from disclosure
under that Act.
