Order e,

(April 26, 1978)

On April 19, 1978 in ALAB-468, the Appeal Board entered an Order in this proceeding vacating the schedule established by the Licensing Board for a prehearing conference and the commencement of an evidentiary hearing related to the framing of appropriate antitrust license conditions.

The Board was directed to take those steps which it believed appropriate to encourage a settlement and thus to avoid unnecessary litigation.

It was assumed that the Board will wish to obtain regular progress reports from the parties to satisfy itself that the negotiations ~are being diligently carried on, and to insure that if settlement should become unlikely, the evidentiary hearing will then take place with no unnecessary further delay.

In accordance with ALAB-468, our notice and order dated April 17, 1978 is canceled, and the prehearing conference scheduled for May 12 and the evidentiary hearing to commence on June 6, 1978 are vacated.
