DATE:  September 12, 1995
CASE NO. 94-TSC-5


IN THE MATTER OF

JUDY K. STEPHENSON,

          COMPLAINANT,

     v.

NATIONAL AERONAUTICS & SPACE
ADMINISTRATION,

          RESPONDENT.


BEFORE:   THE SECRETARY OF LABOR


              ORDER GRANTING NASA MOTION FOR RECONSIDERATION 
                          AND STAY OF PROCEEDINGS

     Before me for review is a Motion For Reconsideration and
Stay of Proceedings filed by the Respondent in this case arising
under the employee protection provision of the Clean Air Act
(CAA), 42 U.S.C. § 7622 (1988).  Respondent's motion
concerns an August 21, 1995, Secretary's Decision and Order of
Remand (D. and O.) that rejected a Recommended Order Granting
Motion to Dismiss issued by an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) on
August 4, 1995.  Upon reexamining the case in light of
Respondent's motion, I have determined that further consideration
is necessary.  Accordingly, the motion is granted.  The D. and O.
will be reconsidered, and the proceedings hereby are stayed.
     SO ORDERED.


                              ROBERT B. REICH
                              Secretary of Labor

Washington, D.C.
