IN THE MATTER OF

WILLIAM DAN DEFORD,

          COMPLAINANT,

     v.

TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY,

          RESPONDENT.


BEFORE:   THE SECRETARY OF LABOR


                FINAL ORDER APPROVING SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT 
                            AND DISMISSING CASE

     A Recommended Supplemental Decision and Order (R.S.D. and
O.) issued on December 22, 1993, in the captioned case is before
me for review pursuant to the employee protection provision of
the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, as amended (ERA), 42
U.S.C. § 5851 (1988), and addresses the only remaining
issues in the case, attorneys fees and expenses.  The parties
have executed a Supplemental Memorandum of Understanding and
Agreement and by letter dated March 11, 1994, submitted it to the
Office of Administrative Appeals.  
     I have carefully reviewed the terms of the parties'
agreement.  I find the terms of the agreement to be fair,
adequate, and reasonable, and therefore approve the Supplemental 
Memorandum of Understanding and Agreement.  Accordingly, this
case is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.  See Supplemental
Memorandum of Understanding and Agreement ¶ 3.
     SO ORDERED.



                              ROBERT B. REICH                             
                              Secretary of Labor
