                       AMENDED ORDER OF DISMISSAL
 
        On January 30,  1990, B.G.W. Limited Partnership  appealed a
   General  Services  Administration   contracting  officer's  final
   decision denying its claim that  it is entitled to tax escalation
   adjustments   computed  in  accordance  with  a  1986  settlement
   agreement,  resulting in an annual rental increase of $336,596.40
   effective September 22, 1988, under lease number GS-03B-5803.  On
   December 8,  1992, in accordance with the  parties' joint motion,
   the   Board   dismissed   this  appeal   without   prejudice   to
   reinstatement for sixty  days.  On January 29,  1993, the parties
   filed a joint motion requesting that the dismissal remain without
   prejudice until the parties notify the Board that  the settlement
   agreement has been executed.
 
        The parties' joint  motion is GRANTED IN PART.   This appeal
   is  DISMISSED  WITHOUT PREJUDICE.   Rule  28(a).   This dismissal
   shall convert to  one with prejudice sixty days from  the date of
   this  order unless either  party requests reinstatement  prior to
   that date.
