SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
This Agreement is made this 24th day of July, 1984 between
complainant Billie Orr and respondent Brown & Root, Inc. ("Brown

WHEREAS Ms. Orr has instituted the above-captioned action
before the U.S. Department of Labor alleging that Brown & Root
violated Section 2110 of the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, 42
U.S.C. § 5851 ("section 210");
WHEREAS, the dispute between Ms. Orr and Brown & Root has
been amicably resolved and Ms. Orr now desires to withdraw her
complaint against Brown & Root, without admission of liability by
Brown & Root, Texas Utilities Company and the other owners of
Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station ("Comanche Peak"), their
attorneys, related companies, successors, assigns, officers,
directors, managers, agents, and employees;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises
contained herein, the parties agree as follows:
1) This settlement agreement does not amount to, and shall
not be construed as, an admission of liability or
wrongdoing on the part of Brown & Root, Texas Utilities
Company or the other owners of Comanche Peak, or any of
the representatives of the managements of Brown & Root
or Texas Utilities and the other owners of Comanche
Peak.
2) Ms. Orr shall file a motion with the presiding
Administrative Law Judge in this proceeding seeking an
order granting her leave to withdraw her pending section
210 complaint and dismissing her case with prejudice.
3) Ms. Orr shall execute a general release (attached
hereto) of Brown & Root, Texas Utilities Company, and
the other owners of Comanche Peak, and all
representatives of the managements of Brown & Root,
Texas Utilities and the other owners of Comanche Peak
from any all liability arising out of Ms. Orr's
employment with Brown & Root, or the termination
thereof.
4) Ms. Orr shall not file an application or otherwise seek
employment with Brown & Root at any time, and she hereby
waives and relinquishes any right that she might have to
be considered for employment with Brown & Root in the
future.
5) Upon the satisfaction by Ms. Orr of all requirements
imposed on her by this Agreement, and upon the entry of
a final decision of the Secretary of Labor dismissing
her case with prejudice, Brown & Root shall provide Ms.
Orr with the letter of reference attached hereto,
stating that she has been an employee of Brown & Root,
the dates of her employment, the last position occupied
by her, and her rate of compensation in her last
position.
6) Upon the satisfaction by Ms. Orr of all requirements
imposed on her by this Agreement, and upon the entry of
a final decision by the Secretary of Labor dismissing

the last position occupied by her, and c) the rate of
compensation in her last position.
7) Upon the satisfaction by Ms. Orr of all requirements

a final decision by the Secretary of Labor dismissing
her case with prejudice, Brown & Root shall be
considered to have waived and relinqished any and all

Ms. Orr's deposition on June 1, 1984, as required by the
Notice of Deposition issued on May 18, 1984.
8) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
