  RESPONDENT.
BEFORE: THE SECRETARY OF LABOR
ORDER APPROVING SETTLEMENT
Respondent, ICF Kaiser Engineers, Inc., formerly known as
Raymond Kaiser, Inc., has responded to my Order to Show Cause,
issued on February 27, 1990. See Letter of March 26, 1990, from
Bruce E. Allen. In its response, Respondent has stated its
agreement that the document entitled "Release", which was signed
by Complainant on August 3, 1988, is binding upon Respondent with
elimination of the following provision:
  The undersigned further declares, respondents,
[Page 2]
covenants, and warrants that except as
required by law she will not participate in,
aid, abet, support, encourage, or assist any
other claims that may be brought against
Kaiser or Raymond and/or the officers,
directors, employees, attorneys, agents,
successors, assigns, or insurers of any of
them.
Release at 4.
In view of Respondent's agreement, the above-quoted
provision is served from the Release and the remaining
provisions of the Release are approved as a fair, adequate and
reasonable settlement of complainant's claim under the Energy
Reorganization Act of 1974, as amended (ERA), 42 U.S.C. § 5851
(1982).1 Accordingly this case is
dismissed with prejudice.
See Release at 5.
1 As noted in the Order to Show
Cause, my review of the release
is limited to determining whether its terms and conditions are a
fair, adequate and reasonable settlement under the ERA.
