                                 ORDER
 
        This protest involves  a procurement for  the lease of  real
   property.   On June 13,  in a telephonic  conference, protester's
   representative acknowledged that because the Board's jurisdiction
   to consider protests is limited to procurements of automatic data
   processing equipment,  we cannot hear  this case.  She  stated an
   intention to withdraw the protest  and refile it with the General
   Accounting  Office.   Protester's  representative  said that  she
   would send us a letter formally withdrawing the case.
 
        Protester  has not responded  to repeated telephone requests
   for  submission of  the  letter.   The  Board  now DISMISSES  THE
   PROTEST WITHOUT PREJUDICE.  This  dismissal shall become one with
   prejudice at the close of business on June 21 unless either party
   requests reinstatement of the case prior to that time.
