                                 ORDER
 
        This appeal involves a claim for an  equitable adjustment to
   the price  of  appellant's construction  contract  for  "security
   operations  improvements" at the  Falcon Dam, Texas,  U.S. Border
   Station.  The claim is for increased costs incurred in connection
   with excessive delays alleged to  have occurred in the review and
   approval of contractually required submittals.  
 
        On June 14,  1993, the parties filed a  joint stipulation of
   dismissal,  requesting  dismissal  of the  appeal  pursuant  to a
   settlement agreement providing that respondent will pay appellant
   the amount  of $18,000.   The agreement provides that  the appeal
   may  only be reinstated in the  event that payment of this amount
   is not  made by respondent  within fifteen days of  the effective
   date of the agreement, which is June 9, 1993. 
 
 
                                Decision
 
        This appeal  is DISMISSED  WITHOUT PREJUDICE.   Rule  28(a).
   The   dismissal  shall  convert   to  one  with   prejudice  upon
   appellant's  receipt of  payment from respondent  or on  July 15,
   1993, whichever occurs  first, unless reinstated by  appellant on
   or before July 15, 1993, and prior to receipt of payment.
