   HENDLEY, Board Judge.
 
                                 ORDER
 
        We decline to reconsider our decision of  December 23, 1992,
   awarding  Sterling   Federal   Systems,  Inc.,   the  amount   of
   $517,436.30 (which  includes $457,016.17  in attorney's  fees and
   disbursements and $4,046 in witness'  fees, which was the subject
   of our  decision of  May 22, 1992,  and $56,374.13  in attorney's
   fees and disbursements for pursuit of the cost case itself).  
 
        In our decision of December 23, 1992, we stated the basis of
 
   that decision.  The respondent has not directed our attention to 
   any new  basis on  which  we should  change  that decision.    We
   therefore  decline  to  do  so.    The  respondent's  motion  for
   reconsideration is DENIED.
