                                 ORDER
 
        Fortran Corporation  filed this  protest with  the Board  on
   February 22, 1993,  and amended it on February  26, alleging that
   the award of a  contract for a telephone  system by the  National
   Archives  and  Records   Administration  violated  statutes   and
   regulations.   Bell Atlanticom Systems, Inc.,  the awardee of the
   contract, intervened as of right on February 26. 
 
        On  March 12,  the  Board received  from  the protester  its
   notice  of  withdrawal  of the  protest,  which  states, "Fortran
   Corporation,  by  counsel, hereby  withdraws  the above-captioned
   protest and requests that the Board dismiss it with prejudice."
 
        Accordingly, this protest is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.  Rule
   28(a).   The suspension of respondent's delegation of procurement
   authority lapses by its terms.
