                                 ORDER
 
        Protester,  Telcom Systems  Services,  Inc. (Telcom),  filed
   this  protest with  the  Board  on September  10,  1992.   Telcom
   contended  that  the   Department  of  the  Air   Force  violated
   procurement  statutes  and  regulations in  connection  with  the
   purchase of  a telephone  system with  maintenance and  technical
   support.  The Board held a prehearing conference on September 15.
   On  September 16,  the  Board  received  respondent's  motion  to
   dismiss.  On September 21, the Board received protester's  motion
   to dismiss, as follows:
 
             In response to  the Department of the  Air Force's
             MOTION  TO  DISMISS  (Solicitation  #F08651-92-QA-
             725), Telcom  Systems Services, Inc.  hereby drops
             its protest with the  understanding the Air  Force
             is presently  not proceeding  with the  referenced
             procurement.
 
   Respondent has no objection to the request.
 
        This  protest is DISMISSED  WITHOUT PREJUDICE.   Rule 28(a).
   This dismissal shall  become one  with prejudice  on October  26,
   1992, unless it is reinstated prior to that time.
